Free Natural Recipe Glass and Surface Cleaner

Ok, so we've covered hand sanitizer, now how about surfaces. This can be used as glass and surface sanitizer or just a daily surface cleaner. This natural recipe aides in the reduction of bacteria, fungus, mold, viruses.

Natural Glass and Surface Cleaner

Ingredients:
22 oz of water distilled water
.33 oz tea tree essential oil
.33 oz lemon essential oil
.33 oz lavender essential oil
2 oz grain alcohol 190 proof (DO NOT use isopropyl alcohol , better known as rubbing alcohol)

Directions:

Combine essential oils, distilled water and grain alcohol in a sanitized spray bottle, shake well, spray surface and wipe dry with clean towel. It's as simple as that. During use shake frequently as oils will settle.

If you would like to make sanitizing surface wipes, using a thick paper towel works best. Fold paper towels as if you were going to fold a letter and put it in an envelope, place folded paper towel in glass cake pan and saturate with sanitizing solution, (I usually make approximately 2 rolls of paper towels with the above mixture). Then place in a zip lock bag or recycled sanitized baby wipe container and use as need. Remember: clearly mark your container, so you won't mix up the baby wipes with your surface wipes.

Have fun with this one, it's so easy and a great money saver, as well as you know what's in them.
