1.  Earth Friendly Products Parsley Plus All Surface Cleaner

Average user rating - 5 stars

What people are saying:

 "I love Parsley Plus! It cleans extremely well and has a really nice, yet subtle, refreshing scent. I use it on countertops, sinks, refrigerator doors, and toilet seats...works well on all of these surfaces!" - eharrell

"This all-purpose cleaner is just as effective and smells WAY better than the standard orange-clean products available. In fact I have a hard time not spraying it just for the heck of it because it smells so darn good. The value is good as it costs little more than traditional, chemical-based cleaners, and it works just as well without having to use copious amounts..." - Draes

2.  Seventh Generation Natural All Purpose Cleaner

Average user rating - 4.5 stars

What people are saying:

"I do not know what is in this cleaner, but it is really amazing! I have used it on the linoleum floor, on my tile counters, in the sink, and it gets rid of all dirt! It powered through the lime deposits in my sink like they were just some dust. It whitens the linoleum floors as if its made of pure, undiluted bleach!" - solmstea

"So many cleaning products give off harsh fumes, and you can feel it irritating your lungs- many cleaning products talk about requiring good ventilation during use! It is refreshing to have a cleaning product that I don't mind breathing..." - nitedreamer

3.  Biokleen Spray and Wipe Cleaner

Average user rating - 4.5 stars

What people are saying:

"Its great for routine housecleaning chores. The spray stream gets into the difficult-to-clean corners on my raised cabinet fronts, and is gentle enough it doesn't remove the paint. If it were a disinfectant, I would use it for cleaning kitchen counters and tabletops too." - morizongreen

"This is a great all-purpose cleaner. I've tried it on a variety of surfaces including my desk, the inside and outside of a microwave, the top of the toilet tank, my car trunk and window (and my car's pretty dirty). It worked quite well on all of them, but I'd have to say it worked the best on the toilet tank and the desk." - stins

Average user rating - 5 stars

What people are saying:

"A great cleanser, I use it in every room of my house. I can clean the bathroom with my little boy right next to me and not freak out about fumes. It smells like vanilla, YUM! Very concentrated so a little goes a long way." - marnee

"Made with ORGANIC ingredients, safe enough to use on a baby's tray, smells like vanilla, what more could you ask for?" - organicgal007

5.  Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner

Average user rating - 3.5 stars

What people are saying:

"A friend encouraged me to use Simple Green to get rid of a recent ant invasion -- plain water and vinegar wasn't working....Short of training my cat to eat the ants (he eats spiders and flies!), Simple Green has been the most effective way to wipe out the ants' chemical trails and keep them out of my kitchen." - jenn

"I've been using Simple Green for years and was introduced to it at a shop I used to work at. The product has amazing cleaning power but it does smell extremely strong until you get used to it. We use it to clean the kitchen and bathrooms around the house and have never been disappointed." - ferrettim
