I'd like some nontoxic cleaning products that smell good. What can you suggest?

A wide selection of "green" cleaning products — nontoxic, biodegradable, "cruelty-free," andaromatic — has blossomed in recent years. Sometimes more expensive than standard commercial brands, they can require a bit more elbow grease, but are easier on the skin, the environment, and the nose. Four companies whose lines of cleansers we tried and liked are Earth Friendly Products (www.ecos.com, 800-335-3267, and stores nationwide), Naturally Yours (888-801-7347), Caldrea Home Care (www.caldrea.com), and Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day, www.mrsmeyers.com, 888-243-9720). Put them to work with a dirt-collecting microfiber cloth (Simple Clean Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloth, $6, www.safehomeproducts.com, 888-607-9902).
