Whats in your cleaning basket?

Options
This is probably the first of many baskets that I hope you long time converted people will be able to help me and other newies to fill.
We hear you all talk of vinegar, borax of course stardrops etc. but what are they used for ie what job, what quanties , what 'recipes' do you use.
Please help us with this type of basket and if its a good idea can we start filling other types (just to help us along). Hope you don't mind

Many Thanks

    Well I've got a spray bottle filled with about 3 desert spoons (not measured) of zoflora, a squit of stardrops and water, which I use as a disinfectant spray around the kitchen.

    Stardrops for the kitchen floor and hall way woodern floor, real not laminate - I put that as I've no idea wether its okay to use on laminate.

    I squirt abit into a bowl and fill with hot water and use microfibre clothes of course.

    Washing powder is Shops own brand, mixed with shops bargain brand and half as much again of soda crystals, mixed up in tub.

    Bathroom is some sort of power spray, I know not OS at all, but I've tried stardrops etc and it just dosn't work.
    Loo - Bleach type demestos affair, not sure which.

    I've never used fabric softener as I always thought it was a waste of money and now don't use polish either.

    Tracey I'm glad you asked this. I'm trying to go OS, I'm finishing all my cleaning cupboard (yes that much) at the moment and what to try all the vingear and bic when it is empty so this will be really useful. I can't wait to finish the cupboard so I can buy my first bottle of Stardrops (is that sad)
