Looking for good cruelty-free cleaning products, etc.?

I'm in the transition of switching to all cruelty-free products in my home (or as close as I can get) and I need some suggestions. I've been looking through the lists at caringconsumer.com, but it's difficult to know which household products are ok. Plus, I'd love to get started with the ones that others have found to be the best.

A great resources for finding cruelty-free products (including cleaning products) is http://leapingbunny.org/shopping.php

There are different categories and subcategories that make it easier to find the type of cruelty-free products you're looking for.

For household cleaners and detergents, I use Method products. This company has never tested on animals and is also environmentally friendly. http://peopleagainstdirty.com/

I hope this helps!
