I have been making my own household cleaners for a few years now. I love the natural, clean smell of the essential oils and I like that my cleaners are safe for the environment. So, I am sharing my favorite homemade all purpose spray cleaner. Here it is:
1 cup of white vinegar
1 cup of water
20 drops of essential lavender oil
If needed, also add in:
15 drops of tea tree oil
Put it all in a spray bottle, shake and spray away.
This is what I always have on hand to wipe down tables, countertops and the bathroom. It's clean and it's green :) The lavender oil is a natural anti-bacterial. I add in the tea tree oil if someone has been sick and I want to do a thorough wipe down throughout the house.
One of my favorite books is Annie Berthold-Bond's book "Better Basics for the Home". It is a great reference book for everything you could possibly think of making yourself to avoid excess toxins. The book covers personal care products, cleaners, laundry products, baby care, hair care, fragrances, lotions, lawn and garden care, insect repellants, paints, dyes and art supplies.

Enjoy the freshness of green cleaning this spring!
