    After reviewing all of my cleaning products (most of which I did not buy myself.. they were hand-me-downs) I basically don't think any of them should be used. Generally I use vinegar and water for most things. I do use windex and that is going to be a difficult habit to break. I think i will go to the store and search for a less toxic glass cleaner.

      Have you tried "Method"? It's a non-toxic plant-based product. It comes in lavender and bamboo scents. Use on counters, tile, stone, wood AND glass!
