This are some basic cleaning recipes that I have found to be effective cleaners.

LAVENDER & LEMON DISINFECTING CLEANER
1 cup white distilled vinegar
1 cup vodka (excellent germ-killing properties)
10 drops lavender and lemon essential oil
3 cups water (distilled or boiled and cooled)

You can mix in a spray bottle. When using, make sure you let it sit on the surface for about 10 minutes before wiping away. No rinsing required.



PEPPERMINT GLASS + MIRROR CLEANER
2 cups water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons rubbing alcohol
5 drops peppermint essential oil

Combine and mix ingredients in spray bottle. Spray and wipe with a
soft cloth.



PEPPERMINT DAILY SHOWER CLEANER SPRAY
1 cup vodka
2 cups water
20 drops peppermint essential oil

Mix and store in a spray bottle. Spray shower or tub daily after
showering has occurred. No rinse needed.



RUST REMOVER
white vinegar

Saturate paper towels or rags with white vinegar and drape over
fixtures. Let it sit for 15 minutes and rub with the cloth to eliminate
the rust. Rinse, and repeat if necessary



PEPPERMINT & TEA TREE MILDEW REMOVER
2 cup water
1 cup hydrogen peroxide
20 drops tea tree essential oil
20 drops peppermint essential oil

Mix and store in a dark container. Spray liberally on mold/mildew, let
sit for 1-2 hours, rinse. Repeat if necessary.



DISINFECTING TOILET & BOWL CLEANER
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup vinegar
20 drops tea tree oil

Combine ingredients directly in toilet. There will be a little fizzing.
Let the ingredients sit for 5-15 minutes, scrub with toilet brush
and flush.



SOAP SCUM REMOVER
1 cup Borax
4 cups of hot water

Mix Borax and hot water in a spray bottle. Shake and spray surfaces
thoroughly. Let it sit for up to 15 minutes and use a Magic Eraser
sponge to clean. Rinse and wipe dry.



LEMON GROUT CLEANER
4 teaspoons cream of tartar
lemon juice

Combine cream of tartar and enough lemon juice to make a thin paste.
Apply to grout and scrub with a small cleaning brush. Rinse and
wipe dry.


Whatever your cleaning need - make it a great one!
