Baking soda and vinegar are both wonderful natural cleaners!  Baking soda works well on stainless steel, porcelain, counters, etc.  Vinegar is wonderful on windows.  Together they make a good (strong) drain cleaner & freshner - pour bs down the drain then add apple cider vinegar - works great!

aloe vera would work well

ADULTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS FOR CLEANING UP BROKEN GLASS THERMOMETERS CONTAINING MERCURY, which is the most frequently encountered mercury spill or release in homes and schools:\n\nKeep children and pets away from the broken glass. \nWear chemically resistant household cleaning gloves.  DO NOT TOUCH anything that might be released from the broken glass that appears bright or shiny silver. \nBe especially alert to the presence of bright and shiny liquid mercury beads, droplets, or small balls that may glide along the surface of most household surfaces when released from broken glass thermometers.   DO NOT TOUCH THE SILVER LIQUID MERCURY BEADS OR DROPLETS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.  This type of mercury can enter your body by direct contact or accidental ingestion, which is why gloves are recommended.  CHILDREN AND PETS ARE ESPECIALLY ATTRACTED TO THE SHINY LIQUID MERCURY BEADS BECAUSE OF THEIR BRIGHT GLIMMERING APPEARANCE AND THE FACT THAT THE BEADS APPEAR TO GLIDE OVER HARD, SMOOTH SURFACES, SUCH AS PAVED CONRETE, TILED, OR CERAMIC FLOORS. \nA graphic representation of what liquid mercury beads or droplets look like and additional details on what you should do if you have a small mercury spill can be found at the EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response mercury web site,  http://www.epa.gov/mercury/disposal.htm \nIf you see any released mercury, take steps to minimize release of the mercury into a vapor or gas by temporarily turning off any near-by fans and closing near-by heat vents or windows and doors.  After the thermometer’s clean-up is complete, open the doors and increase the ventilation in your home. \nDO NOT USE A VACUUM SWEEPER, BROOM OR OTHER DEVICE TO ATTEMPT REMOVING THE MERCURY.  IT WILL ONLY SPREAD THE MERCURY AND MAKE REMOVAL OF THE MERCURY MORE DIFFICULT. \nIf liquid mercury from the thermometer has been released, clean it up indirectly using a small glass siphon (sucking) system.  For very small amounts that might escape a single household thermometer, a glass medicine eyedropper such as found in a drug store can be used as the siphoning system to suck up the released liquid mercury. If an eyedropper cannot readily be found or purchased, an alternative clean-up system involving transfer of the mercury to a disposable, absorbent material such as soft tissue paper supported by more rigid paper can sometimes be attempted.  (See this EPA link for additional information on materials needed and additional steps at  http://www.epa.gov/mercury/disposal.htm). \nAlthough most escaped liquid mercury forms beads and droplets that can be sucked up using a small glass eyedropper, there may be times when very rough household surfaces, such as carpets, furniture, or clothing, can trap the liquid mercury or make those items appear stained.  When this happens, it is best to remove the material that has become stained and no longer use it.   (See EPA link for additional information and steps.) \nUntil you can properly dispose of the mercury materials, you should temporarily store the broken glass thermometer and any liquid mercury you captured in your glass siphon system in an airtight plastic or glass container to prevent possible mercury gas being released over time. Common household containers with airtight lids and seals (e.g., an empty mayonnaise jar, a canning jar, or enclosed plastic milk bottle) can serve as a temporary holding container for the mercury and broken thermometer.  Choose a container large enough to contain your mercury spill materials. \nLabel the container or jar clearly as “Mercury and broken glass” or “Mercury Waste”.   As an extra security measure, after sealing the lid tightly on the container, you can apply duct tape or plastic mailing/wrapping tape around the lid.  Keep that container in a locked area and out of the reach of your children for a short period of time, until you can dispose of the container properly.  As soon as possible, take the container to a household h

use any disinfectant with a high commercial grade. but use a mask and hand gloves when handling these things. if you have kids send them to your moms house or sisters. and leave it to air dry.

I suggest hydrogen peroxide 'bleach' because it is much less toxic than regular bleach, but it still destroys many pathogens.\n \n Also, 70% Isopropyl alcohol is a good disinfectant.

There are commercial kits available, but a can of compressed air, a lint-free cloth or wipes, mild dishwashing liquid, and a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush are all you really need for a basic cleaning. \nAfter turning off your computer and unplugging your keyboard, gently shake the keyboard upside down over some newspaper to dislodge loose crumbs and particles. \nUse the can of compressed air to blow a stream of air between the keys. \nDampen a lint-free cloth with a diluted solution of dishwashing liquid and water to wipe down the keys. \nUse the vacuum cleaner brush attachment to suck away any remaining dirt or debris. <br />\nIf you have a membrane-type keyboard (it doesn't have a spring under each key) and the keys are truly grungy, you can remove the keys with a small screwdriver and use cotton swabs and 90% isopropyl alcohol to get it sparkling clean. If you are still feeling industrious, next you can tackle cleaning your mouse. \nOf course, if cleaning your keyboard seems a truly undesirable task, you can always buy a new one for around $20.

I use to be a GM for hotels for many years.\nWe used Oreck Vacuum cleaners and \nZep cleaning products which can now be found at Home depot.  To get your showers really shiny you can also buy a can of gel gloss there too.\nTo get tough marks out of the toilets we would use pumice stones!!\nPassed all my QA inspections with flying colors!\nHope that helps!!

There is a product called "Spray 9" in Canada - not sure of its equivalent in the US - I think it might be similar to Formula 409 - test a small area of the material and if it can handle this cleaner it should work.

You need toilet bowl cleaner, the kind that clings to the sides and any kind of brush to scrub it.\nGet a spray bathroom cleaner to wipe down the sinks and tub with.\nBuy a package of sponges, and use one for the bathroom.\nGet windex for the mirror and paper towels.\n-------\nBuy an antibacterial spray cleaner for the kitchen,and use one of the sponges you bought.\n\nGet a broom to sweep the floor. \n\nYou can also buy Lysol wipes in the container, you can use em on anything.\n------\nI like the new dusters they make that trap the dust on them. A few companies make them.\nI also like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, it takes fingerprints off of walls and will clean anything.\n------\nYou can get a mop that sprays cleaner for you, although for tough jobs, I prefer Lysol floor cleaner and a regular mop and bucket. Nothing works like that.

Bleach will break down many organics.  I dont have a son to spill mineral oil everywhere but i assume it will work:D\n\nUmm... just use the bleach on the concrete.\n\nThe rugs hmmm... use dish detergant 50/50 mixed with water.  place onto the affected area and scrub lighty.\n\nallow the froth to sit on the carpet for 15-20 minutes.  then use a cloth to pat up the oil.  dont smudge it around.  repeat until you are satisfied.

Any amine hydrochloride, ammonium chloride, or even hydrochloric acid can be used.  You may need to actually call a company to get more specific information, if they will even tell you.  If you look at MSDSs, you can gleam some information.  \n\nhttp://www.efdsolder.com/lit_msds.htm\n\nYou will see that nonionic organics can be used.  Because they would be bought in bulk, there are no commercial names other than the chemical name.
