Bleach is not allowed in my house. I have asthma, and bleach always causes breathing problems for me. Even being around chlorinated pools causes my asthma to flare.

Bleach is also a huge culprit in my children's diaper problems. They were not allergic to disposable diapers, but to the bleach in the diapers. They were perfectly fine with unbleached diapers from Wild Oats, but those are so expensive. The did well with cloth diapers. Once, though, I decided to bleach DS's diapers after a nasty bout of diarrhea, and he ended up raw. I washed them several times to remove the bleach and he was fine again.

We use Method brand cleaners for everything. Wood for the wooden floors, and I love the lavendar smell. It really smells like lavendar! LOL. I buy it at Target, and find the stuff lasts forever. I am not sure what is in the dishwashing tabs, but the cucumber/lemon smell is sooo...summery.
