DIY All-Purpose Cleaning Spray

by Nina Nelson | DIY Recipes, Essential Oils | 49 comments

One of the simplest ways to create a healthier home is to remove all the toxic cleaners from your space. You can do that easily with this DIY all-purpose cleaning spray

If you’re used to using harsh chemicals to get your house clean, you might wonder if it’s really possible to clean your home with water, vinegar and essential oils.

But it works.

Vinegar itself is a great natural cleaner. Add essential oils to the mix, however, and you’ve got powerful antimicrobial properties that clean your home without harming your body.

Lemon: Cleans and purifies the air and surfaces.
Lavender: Antimicrobial, skin soothing, calming.
Tea Tree: Protects against environmental threats, promotes healthy immune function.

Awesome, right?

DIY All-Purpose Cleaning Spray

1 1/2 cups water
1 cup white vinegar
20 drops lemon essential oil
10 drops lavender essential oil
10 drops melaleuca essential oil

Combine all the ingredients in a glass spray bottle (essential oils will break down plastic). Slap on a pretty label and use to clean the surfaces in your home.

So many possible resources. There are two cook books about breakfast, which would perhaps motivate me to move past cereal, and there is a book about sensory bins, which I would read first.
