Question from Wendy
here is a recipe I got from a homeschooling workshop. I use as our All Purpose Cleaner-have for about 5 yrs now. I was skeptical at first, I’ve tried a few recipes in the past but after outlaying the money for the supplies it never works and I wish I hadn’t (kind of like gluten free bread- seriously it’s easier just not to eat bread at all! LOL) Anyhow I had only used vinegar and baking soda for about 4 yrs prior to this, sucdessfully so I thought- I mean with some elbow grease, I could keep things looking not bad but then I could not get my water cooler clean. I was prepared to freecycle it just because it looked so nasty I could see moms gasping at it’s filthyness ;-( I had tried vinegar, baking soda, even gasp bleach with a mask! no improvement. I had just made this and sprayed it on, left it for a few minutes and 95% of the dirt came off. I was astounded and I’ve only used it ever since. You can add whatever essential oil in it that you want but i do prefer the tea tree oil.
I make this but multiply everything by 8 and it just fits in a big glass GALLON jar, then put into dollar store squirt bottles or glass syrup bottles that fit the sprayer.
It has worked amazing on everything, even dried gukky stovetop from yesterday.sigh. *be sure and use pure liquid glycerin SOAP not the plain liquid glycerin. I think I figured out it’s about 20cents per dollar store spray bottle to make.
Let cool then add 10 drops Germ Away essential oil from natural sense ***Aromateraphy Orono, Ontario 1-888-tea-tree ** this is from the original recipe…but I just use regular tea tree oil from the grocery store.
