Any Ideas for an Organized Housekeeping Plan?

Seeking Recommendations for Non-toxic Cleaners for Wood Floors & Stone Counters

Hi all: I'm preparing our home for the arrival of our baby girl and am seeking recommendations on non-toxic cleaners for wood floors and stone kitchen counters. Since I've been pregnant, I've noticed the strong chemical odor of most commercial cleaners for floors (like Murphy's oil or Swiffer products for wood floors) and would like to avoid exposing the baby to too many chemicals anyway.
