Hi.

You can make an allperpis cleaner that works well though not for glass. 
Fill a spray bottle with half water and half vinnager, then add three drops
of T-tree oil, two drops peppermint oil, and three drops clove oil and
shake.  This can be used on floors, counter tops, stone, finnished wood, and
works grate in showers.  I don't recomend it for windows because it can be
streaky.  Fore windows you can use half water and vinnager out of a spray
bottle.  This cleaner is anty bacteral and I use it all the time.  I make
this once a month and only have to buy new oil every four mounths.

Hope this helps.
Kate
