Bev's All Purpose Disinfectant Cleaner

Here is a recipe I invented myself and have used for a long time and love it! It disinfects (tea tree oil) and cleans really good and I love how it can get rid of odors as well!



Here is how I make it:
  • Equal parts of warm water and white vinegar
  • 1-2 drops of dishwashing liquid
  • 5-10 drops of Tea tree oil
Lightly shake together and your done!

I use one of those large sized spray containers you get at Walmart to make this cleaner in and I use this on our kitchen countertops, stove, etc.

If you want to mask the strong smell of the Tea Tree oil, simply add a drop of your favorite essential oil. But leave the Tea Tree oil because it is what disinfects!

To read more on making your own homemade cleaners, check out the post I did on it here.

  4. I saw this "recipe" and thought...I wonder if she has a toilet bowel cleaner (of course this recipe would work)...any chance you could add a search for your blog?

    Thanks for the great site,

    Thanks for the comment Joy! I will try and add a search, not sure how to do it but hopefully I can figure it out! ;)

    I normally use bar keeper's friend for my toilet bowl or comet, but I guess this would work too.
