Are you tired of all the chemicals that are in our products these days? Are noticing how they are negatively effecting your health? Do you want to get away from all those products?
Well, I can help. First let me say I believe God made everything for our purpose for sustainability. Wether it's our bodies or elements. He knew what he was doing when he created plants, trees, etc. He even has detailed instructions in the Bible stating how to use them for specific things. 😉
I started expiermenting with some natural products like vinegar, peroxide, essential oils etc., and started researching the properties and benefits of each one. Vinegar and peroxide are anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral. Believe it or not, lemon juice is too.
I wanted to start making my own Homemade All Purpose Cleaner, Homemade Disinfectant and Homemade Deodorizer (Febreeze).
Here is what I came up with and how I make them.
Homemade All Purpose Cleaner:
To a spray bottle, large or small, I add (no measurements) some vinegar, lemon juice, anti-bacteriall Fabuloso and a little Awesome cleaner. Next, I fill the bottle with water the rest of the way reserving a little space to add a few drops of Dawn Dish Soap. Put the cap on and shake.
The reason I don't have measurements is because you can adjust these to your liking. I will recommend using just a small amount of the Awesome because it is concentrated. The reason why you wait until the end to add the dish soap is so you don't create a lot of bubbles while you try adding water. The water will force it out. So put it in last. If you do not want to use the Fabuloso and Awesome, omit them. The rest will be fine. You can add a citrus essential oil like Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit etc.
I use my All Purpose cleaner on everything from, kitchen countertops, sink, cabinets, appliances, stove, table and chairs, to shower, tubs, toilets, sinks, bathroom countertops, cabinets, basically everything.
Homemade Disinfectant:
To a spray bottle (large or small) add equal amounts vinegar, alcohol, and peroxide. Then fill the rest of the bottle with water. I didn't give measurements because you can make this as strong or weak as you want. Then add 10 to 20 drops each of tea tree essential oil and a citrus essential oil of your choice. Lemon and Orange smell really nice. Give it a shake and spray. All of these ingredients are super power anti everything. Use this just as you would a can of Lysol or off brand disinfectant. Allow to dry.
Homemade Upholstery or Linen Spray (Mock Febreeze):
To a spray bottle add the amount of your choice of a floral scent warming oil like the kind you put in a candle warmer. I love the smell of Lilac or Rose. It doesn't take much oil, probably a capful to a small bottle and maybe two to three capfuls for a large bottle. then fill the rest of the bottle with water. A second choice is to use liquid fabric softener. To a spray bottle pour the amount of liquid fabric softener of your choice, then fill the rest of the bottle with water. Give a shake and spray. Your house will smell amazing. Use this just like you would Ferbreeze Upholstery Freshener. I love using this on our couches and bedding. We go to bed at night and our sheets smell like they were just wash. Comes in handy refreshing them between washings.
Another homemade cleaner you can make is by using the peels of oranges, lemons, limes or grapefruits. Yes girl, save those peels and add them to a jar with a screw on lid. Maybe a Mason jar. Then fill with vinegar all the way to the neck of the jar. Let this steep for about a week maybe two. This will be a concentrate so it will need to be diluted. When it is done steeping, pour a small amount into a spray bottle and then fill the rest of the way with water. Give a shake and spray. Great all natural cleaner.
Vinegar, Alcohol, Peroxide, Citrus Oils, and Tea Tree oil all have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral properties. They are great for killing germs. You can also use Tea Tree Oil and a citrus essential oil in a diffuser to kill virus's in the air as well.
Hope you give these a try.
