make your own surface spray. . .



i have dabbled with many recipes
for home cleaning products
with varying degrees of success 


but i keep coming back
to this one
time and time again


here's my recipe for you to try...


: :

Surface Spray Cleaner
                                            1. Fill a spray bottle almost to the top with warm water
2. Add 1 t dish washing liquid {I prefer Morning Fresh}
3. Add 3 T white vinegar
4. Add 1/2 t  eucalyptus oil

{I'm pretty relaxed with these quantities ~
still, it works perfectly every time}

    1. Kitchen benches and table, bathroom vanity, walls, stovetop, fridge, . . . anywhere you would use a spray and wipe type product.

  3. Love this--thanks so much! I can only imagine how fresh the eucalyptus oil would make things smell. *now planning an extra stop at the health foods store on the way home from work* :)

  4. I use my own surface spray too. It's the same as your but I don't add the dish washing liquid. Works really well and I love the way everything smells after I spray it around everywhere. I use it on my lounges and floor rugs too. Makes them smell yummy and feel fresh.
