When keeping the apartment clean is just as important to you as keeping it free of toxic chemicals, there's really only one option when it comes to cleaning products: DIY recipes. Sure, you could spend a ton of money on "all-natural" products from the store, but chances are they still wouldn't be as healthy and effective as the following DIY solutions.

DIY Liquid Dish Soap [AllYou]
This DIY dish soap skips all the yucky stuff in storebought soap and replaces it with gentle, natural ingredients, namely liquid castile soap and vegetable glycerin. Dilute the main components with 1 and 1/3 cups of water, and add essential oils for scent. This recipe recommends tea-tree and lemon, which may help fight bacteria as they emit a flowery fragrance.

Tile Cleaner [Organic Life]
Baking soda, liquid soap, and the essential oil of your choice are the only three ingredients you need to make a powerful tile cleaner, effective enough to do away with tough grime. Whereas most tile cleaners contain potentially carcinogenic components like formaldehyde and benzene, this version only uses gentle ingredients—especially if you opt for an all-natural castile soap as the base.

Glass Cleaner [HGTV]
You don't have to settle for streaky windows just because you're using an all-natural glass cleaner. This version enlists rubbing alcohol, water, and white vinegar to do the trick. Just combine all three ingredients in a spray bottle, spritz it on your windows or mirrors, and wipe away for a glossy shine.
