When COVID-19 hit and the cleaning product supply had run dangerously low, I struggled to find a non-toxic cleaner that was safe, dog friendly and not loaded with ingredients I couldn’t pronounce.

After a bit of research, I quickly began experimenting with a couple ingredients to create a cleaner, more sustainable disinfectant. This universal cleaning solution became a favorite when it came to cleaning counter tops, steering wheels, door handles and my phone. 

This DIY disinfectant is great for removing germs, odors, viruses and is as effective as a store-bought cleaner. The ingredients below have been celebrated for decades due to their antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Grab your favorite essential oil and let’s get to cleaning!

• 4oz Spray Bottle
• Organic Tea Tree Oil
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Organic Witch Hazel
• Your Favorite Essential Oil (I really like lemon & clary sage)

DIRECTIONS

• Remove the cap and top from the spray bottle.
• Fill the spray bottle 1/4 of the way with the witch hazel.
• Add 3/4 of Isopropyl Alcohol.
• Carefully add 4 drops of tea tree essential oil & 5 drops of your favorite essential oil.
• Add the cap and spray nozzle back on to the bottle.
• Shake well, then spray!
