Alternatives to toxic cleaning products

I've been trying to find alternatives to toxic cleaning products.
Here's what I've found today:

Detergent and soap: Fresh water and a lot of elbow grease
Bleach: Hydrogen peroxide
Scouring powders: Baking soda or salt
Floor cleaner: Half cup of white vinegar in 2 litres of water
Window cleaner: 1 cup of white vinegar in 1 litre warm water
Varnish cleaner: Wipe with ½ cup of vinegar and ½ cup water solution
Head cleaner: Brush with baking soda
Shower cleaner: Wet surface, use scouring cloth with baking soda
Aluminium cleaner: Use 2 tablespoons cream of tartar in 1 litre of water
Chrome cleaner/ polish: Apple cider vinegar to clean, baby oil to polish
Fiberglass stain remover: Baking soda paste
Drain Opener: Disassemble and replace; avoid toxic products
Mildew Remover: Paste of equal parts lemon juice and salt
Wood polish: Use 3 parts olive oil and 1 part white wine vinegar; almond or olive oil (interior unvarnished wood only)
