Household Cleaners

As requested by my friend Tori, here are some recipes for chemical free household cleaners.

*Notice the use of essential oils in each recipe, that is because essential oils not only smell great while they disinfect, they also heal while they disinfect! I am a Young Living Essential Oils distributor, so if you are interested in getting your hands on some, please feel free to email me or leave your email address in a comment!

Disinfectant:
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon Borax
10 drops Eucalyptus, Lemon, or Lavender essential oil
Combine in spray bottle and fill with hot, distilled water. Shake vigorously until borax is dissolved completely

Floor Cleaner:
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 bucket of hot, distilled water
5-10 drops of Lemon, Melaleuca (aka tea tree), or Purification essential oil
Combine in bucket and mop away!

Air Freshener:
12 drops Lavender, Lemon, or Eucalyptus (or a combination)
1 quart distilled water
Put in spray bottle and shake well before using.

Window Cleaner

And just in time for spring! Happy cleaning!!!
