Natural Spray Cleaner - DIY

Vinegar is the perfect all natural - all in one - disinfectant cleaner. It's perfect for so many surfaces and dries streak free so there is no need for a ton of different cleaners. There are no harsh chemicals to worry about for you or your family. PLUS - it's much less expensive than your typical cleaning products. Vinegar is just as effective at killing harmful bacteria and viruses as bleach.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Equal parts Distilled White Vinegar & Distilled Water


• 10-20 drops of your favorite essential oil blend. (Tea Tree Oil has antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-fungal properties and Lemon is also antiseptic, anti-fungal, and antiviral. Both of these oils work well to disinfect.)

I recycled an old spray bottle for this project BUT you can purchase all kinds of different ones from Amazon.

WHAT THIS IS GOOD FOR:

• All around disinfectant


• Cleaning stained or sticky counter tops, tiles, and appliances.


• Streak free interior or exterior windows.


• De-stinks and kills bacteria in recycle bins, green bins and garbage cans.


• Deodorizes stinky shoes.


• Acts as a room / carpet / surface deodorizer.


• Clean stains or stick on walls and floors


• Acts as a Goo-Remover (especially with lemon oil mixed in)


• Removes soap scum and mildew on tiles in the bathroom, shower, shower curtain, tub and sink.


• Removes soil or stains on clothing, carpets or shoes.


• Helps clear out musty washing machines, dishwashers or humidifiers.


• Provides a streak free shine to mirrors, glass, chrome and stainless steel.


• Cuts through grease on the oven or other appliances.


• Removes mineral and lime buildups from kettles and coffee pots. (Run a mix of vinegar and water through the kettle or coffee pot to safely clean it out. Rinse thoroughly by running plain water through until there is no longer a vinegar smell. You will notice how much more fresh your next coffee / tea tastes. )


• Removes lime and mineral buildup on shower heads and drains. (Fill a plastic bag with vinegar mix and using an elastic band, secure it to the faucet or shower head. leave on overnight.)


• Removes old coffee stains on tea cups.


• Removes stuck on wax.


• Removing permanent marker accidents.


• Disinfects cutting boards


• As a fabric freshener / softener by adding 1/2 cup into your wash.


• Washing off patio furniture, siding, tables etc.


• Baseboards, crown molding etc.


• As a mopping mixture.

AND A MILLION OTHER THINGS I'M SURE! ;)

TO USE (standard cleaning) :

Spray generously and allow to sit for a few minutes. The longer you let it soak, the easier it is to remove grime. I like to use a rough sponge for tough areas.

I let our bathroom get a little lotta scary to show you just what this cleaner can do! ^_^

BRACE YOURSELF -

(I'll add in more before and after photos with follow-up posts - I'm working on a stubborn stain one now)
