Right now I am on this kick where I like to make things. All sorts of things, scrubs, laundry detergent, and now-all purpose cleaner. I have had this recipe bookmarked forever and I finally got to it. I have to say I love the stuff! And it cost me less than $1 to make a bottle full. I went to town cleaning and boy does my house smell great.
Homemade, Dollar-Saving, Fragrance-Uplifting, All-Purpose Spray
The Goods:
-1 empty 32 oz. spray bottle

-30 drops Tea Tree Oil
-30 drops Essential Oil of choice (some of my favorite choices include lavender, lemongrass, rosemary, lemon verbena, spearmint, clove, cinnamon, anise, sage, grapefruit, lemon, and lime; experiment with one or a combo and see what scent makes you want to get lean and clean!)
The Deal:
-Place all ingredients into the spray bottle using a funnel or measuring cup with a spout.
-Add water until contents reach top of bottle.
-Shake vigorously and use with abandon!

I tried a recipe for this type of thing once, and it smelled terrible, even though it worked well...I'll have to try yours! :D Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI used peppermint Dr. Bronners + peppermint essential oil. I think peppermint covers the vinegar smell better than some of the other oils :)
