I wanted to pass along how to make my favorite all purpose cleaner. I love it and it works great! I use it to clean the kitchen, bathrooms, toys, high chairs, etc. It is wonderful, natrual, non toxic and chemical free! If you reguarly use cleaners in your house I highly recommend switching to this or something similar. If you are using producs like lysol you are putting MANY harmful chemicals in the air and surfaces of your home that are very dangerous. This is especially harmful in the winter when your house is all closed up and no there is fresh air to move it out. Another great natural cleaner I use for floors and bathrooms is distilled white vinegar. So easy and great!
Antiseptic All Purpose Cleaner Recipe:
-Up to 1 tsp. antiseptic essential oil kills viruses and bacteria as well as great scents(thyme, sweet orange, lemmongrass, rose, clove, eucalyptus, cinnamon, rosemary, birch, lavender, tea tree, or theives.)
-1 tsp washing soda
-2 tsp borax
-1/2 tsp liquid soap or detergent (Dr. Bronnners) Can get find at Target and some other stores
-2 c hot water
(I also usually add about 10-15 drops of grapefruit seed extract, which kills viruses and bacteria)
Combine the ingredients in a spray bottle. Shake to disolve and blend the minerals. Spray this on the surface and leave for 15 minutes before you wipe it with a rag. This allows the essential oils antiseptic qualities time to work.
I also sometimes double the recipe and put in a larger spray bottle.
Enjoy!
