I have been using green/enviromentaly friendly cleaners for a long time. I have used several different brands over the years and I love Seventh Generation, but its pretty expensive. I also really love using Shaklee. You can buy little vials of the ingredients and then you just add water and put it all in a spray bottle.
A couple of months ago I started making my own All-Purpose Spray. It is so easy! The recipe I use is actually really similar to the diaper wipe spray I make, except this has vinegar in it. And it works just as good, if not better, than Seventh Generation!
These are the things you will need to make your own:
-Spray Bottle. You can get these anywhere, the dollar store, target, etc.
-Distilled White Vinegar
-Dish Soap
-Lavender and Tea Tree essential oil.
Once you have gathered up all your ingredients, fill up your spray bottle with water. I use a 1 to 4 ratio of water and vinegar. That means if you have 4 cups of water, you put in 1 cup of vinegar. Then I add the dish soap. I just eye balled it, it was probably a half a tablespoon worth, I don't like mine very sudsy. Then I added the esstential oils. Probably 10 drops of Tea Tree oil and 5 of Lavender. Gently mix it up and viola you have Homemade All Purpose Spray!
Next up, I am going to try and make Homemade Laundry Soap. It will end up costing me 1 penny a load!
