These cleaners do a great job, and they also don't harm the environment (or the people in the environment).
Consider these options:
Lemon juice: Use as a bleaching agent on clothing, and to remove grease from your stove and countertops. Add 2 Tbsp lemon juice to 10 drops of (real) lemon oil and a few drops of jojoba oil to clean and polish wood furniture.
Baking soda: An all-purpose cleaner; especially effective on glass coffee pots and glassware; removes red-wine stains from carpeting. A paste (made with water) can shine stainless steel and silver; the paste also can remove tea stains from cups and saucers. Make a paste with liquid soap and a drop of essential oil (tea tree or lavender) to clean sinks, countertops, toilets and tubs.
Salt: Cleans copper pans and scours cookware. Sprinkle salt on fresh spills in the oven, and then wipe off. Sprinkle salt on rust stains and squeeze a lime or lemon over them, let sit for several hours and wipe off.

Household cleaners are important, but they don't always have to come in aerosol cans or spray bottles. You can make your own cleaners out of regular household ingredients.
