Great idea!
 
Here are some things I like for cleaning:
 
Baking soda
Vinegar and water
Simple Green (it's a commercial product, but more benign than most.  I get
it at Price Club)
Homemade soap scraps soaked in water and then beaten with a hand blender
to make a sort of "liquid soap" (this is what happens with the UGLY soaps
I make by accident ...)
Dr. Bronner's liquid castille soap (available in health food stores - some
grocery/drug stores, too)
 
To cut grease, I use liquid soap on a dishrag or sponge/scrubby, and I put
a few drops of sweet orange essential oil on it.  Sweet orange essential
oil smells great, doesn't cost very much, and it does a GREAT job of
cutting through any type of oil or grease.  :->  It'll even break down and
dissolve candle/beeswax, which can otherwise be a real bear to remove ....
