Glad you started this thread, as I have had 3 people now PM me for the laundry soap recipe I mentioned in another thread.

Water and white vinegar cleans most things. Baking soda is also a very multi functional product. TF is more versed on this stuff, than me, however.
For TF and I, homemade products are less about cost (but that is nice), and more about getting away from chemicals.
Although not a cleaning topic, over Christmas she tried her hand at deodorant, body/face lotion, and lip balm. Good stuff. I appreciate her taking the time to do this to keep us healthy. Laundry soap and the rest of the items I just mentioned are important because they are all products that leak into our skin. Nasty chemicals we don't need. Additionally, always remember to wash your new clothes before wearing.
