The World Health Organization deems it a "gold standard" as a disinfectant, and it happens to also be one of the cheapest and least toxic items you probably have at home right now: rubbing alcohol. With just a few cotton balls saturated in rubbing alcohol, you can quickly and effectively disinfect bathroom faucets, countertops, toilet seats and any other nonporous surface without using chemical products. Rubbing alcohol is also a cheap de-greaser, which can be used use to clean baked-on messes and grime on the stove; just let the rubbing alcohol sit for a few minutes and wipe away.
