Citrus (orange oil) based cleaners tend to be expensive.

Downside is that they tend to dissolve many plastics and they leave a
residue. Do not use anywhere near a plastic surface.

They are great for removing sticky adhesives, but the residue should be
cleaned away with a solvent.

OK

I was looking for ONR cleaner that could be used for
all types of cleaning...kitchen, shower, etc..... but
that is also SAFE and earth friendly

Not only trying to be frugal but to "simplify" clutter
as well.

Would vinegar be best bet overall? Citrus cleaners
wont fit the bill especially for shower?
