All-Purpose Disinfectant Cleaner
20 drops tea tree oil
(optional) 10 drops Lemon Essential Oil (or essential oil of choice)
(optional) 10 drops Lemon Essential Oil (or essential oil of choice)
Put all of your ingredients in a spray bottle. You can use a glass one (I like this one) or you can use an old one from the store that you have thoroughly washed out.
I use this disinfectant spray all the time and love that is safe to use around my family. I use it on tables, high chairs and counters and even to clean our stove top. And, I use this same recipe without the castile soap to clean the bathrooms. Cleaners tend to be expensive and if you want natural ones, they're even more expensive. This is a much better alternative that is also easy on the budget.

Thanks for sharing! I love homemade cleaners and such. I use distilled white vinegar for a lot of my disinfecting purposes. And tea tree oil, too.
Thanks again!
You're welcome! Yes, vinegar is great and so is tea tree oil. I use the tea tree oil and lavendar when making my son's baby wipes.
I make my own laundry detergent and baby wipes, but I've never made cleaners. Definitely going to make this! Thanks!
Hmmm, I use a similar recipe, but without the alcohol. TTO is antibacterial/antimicrobial on it's own, do you think the alcohol is really necessary? (I am asking in all honesty, not trying to criticize, I could be the one who is wrong). Thanks!

i use castille soap, water, TTO, lavendar EO for a homemade baby wipe solution. i also just use vinegar to clean windows/mirrors. haven't make cleaners yet, but hope to soon.
Terri,
You know, that was a recipe I started using probably 1 1/2 yrs ago when I first started making switches, but recently realized the alcohol probably wasn't necessary (nor good actually?) So I left it out this last time. :) I'm just now reading through Clean Home, Clean Planet. Have you read it?
