My husband came home with a bit of a cold the other day. With all this hysteria around illness these days I felt compelled to disinfect the house. Only problem is, we’ve been working towards using only toxic free house products and reducing our waste. So no Clorox or Lysol. I quickly put together an all-natural chemical free cleaning solution that worked wonderfully! You can make your own using this recipe!
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup white or Apple Cider vinegar
1/4 cup Tito’s vodka or rubbing alcohol
15 drops essential oil (I use Plant Therapy’s Immune Aid but you can use lemon, lavender or tea tree oil. All of those have been known to fight germs. You can also use Thieves or OnGuard). If you’d like to buy some essential oils at a discount click here.
Spray Bottle (I use my glass bottle from Grove Collaborative. For a free starter kit click here.)
Pour all ingredients into the spray bottle, shake and clean! Because of our efforts to reduce waste we use cloth towels when cleaning up. As you are cleaning make sure to change cloths frequently. I suggest using a new cloth for each room you disinfect. No use spreading germs from area to area all across your house. When I use this solution I spray it on all surfaces, wood, tile, vinyl etc. If you are worried about what it will do to a surface make sure you test a small area first before spraying the entire surface. Don’t forget to disinfect light switches and door knobs!
