 Here are some books that I found on BARD that discuss making
 your own
 cleaning agents and cleaning techniques.

 This book is great.  She discusses all aspects of
 cleaning, decorating and
 maintaining a home.  There is a good section on colors
 and how to put colors
 together, which I found very helpful for other craft
 projects.
