I ran out of my homemade cleaner the other day and found this recipe.  Since I had almost all the ingredients, I thought I would try this out.  I liked that I could use my essential oils, and that it is disinfecting!  And, Have I ever mentioned…I love the smell of essential oils!?! Added bonus: it’s inexpensive to make!!!

Supplies:

• old baby wipes container or sealable plastic container
• white vinegar
• tea tree oil
• lavender oil
• castile soap
• old t-shirts cut up I used 5
• water

  Instructions:

• Put cloth into wipes container or plastic container with lid.  Just about anything with a lid will work.

MIX:

• 2 cups of water
• a big squirt of castile soap (mine was castile soap and lavender oil)
• 1/2 c. of vinegar
• 6-8 drops tea tree oil and
• You can also add 6-8 drops of lavender oil if you wish (my castile soap was infused with lavender so I only added 3 drops)
• Pour liquid mixture over cloth

Voila!  When you are done wiping down counters, or toilets, or whatever, simply throw these in the wash with your clothes, and make a new batch!  I keep my wipes on the kitchen counter so they are handy to grab!
