This book lists home-made cleaning products and a few safe store brands. They've got a cost comparison to the name brand cleaners, and they rate the effectiveness compared to the name brand. My favorite so far is the window cleaner. She suggests club soda, with a little blue food dye so that the house cleaner will actually use it. It works well, leaves no streaks, and doesn't smell like vinegar.
Clean House, Clean Planet
I've found a few other, more recently published books, but this one still seems to be the most comprehensive.

Locavore Reading
Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is one of my favorite new books. It's a narrative about one year in her family where they try to eat only local food, with extremely few exceptions (I think they allowed coffee and sugar). She's an extremely accomplished writer, and while I'm not about to try anything like what her family did, it's a wonderful read and full of good information.
If you do decided to eat more local produce, I've found this cookbook to be pretty good.
