Lavender All Purpose Cleaner

If you have to spray something all over the place, why not have it smell great? Lavender also has disinfectant qualities which makes the smell qood quality an investment.

Ingredients
2 tbsp white vinegar
 1 tsp borax powder
 ¼ cup organic liquid castille soap
 10 drops organic lavender essential oil
 5 drops organic lemon essential oil or 1 tsp lemon juice

Mix the white vinegar and the borax together in a 16-ounce bottle. Fill the bottle ¾ full with hot purified water. Shake well until the borax is dissolved. Add the liquid castille soap and the essential oils to the solution and shake well. Use as you would any other all-purpose cleaner.

Tea Tree Soft Scrub

If you have to scour something, it's handy to have some soft scrub around- minus the bleach and the breathing hazards. Here's how to make it without any of those issues..

Ingredients
3/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup liquid castile soap
1 tablespoon water
15 drops of tea tree oil

Mix first 3 ingredients together, then mix in tea tree oil. Transfer into a squeezable container and clean away!

Non-Toxic Toilet Bowl Cleaner

My dogs drink out of the toilet sometimes. I hate it- I wish they would stop it, but two of them can open the lid, so it's difficult to keep them out of it. I won't use store bought products because of how toxic they are. Instead, take a cue from Sara at My Merry Messy Life and use an all natural toilet bowl cleaner.

Ingredients:
¼ cup liquid castile soap
1¾ cup water
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 teaspoon of essential oils (optional)

Mix all ingredients in a 16 oz. or larger squirt bottle and gently shake or swish. Squirt in the toilet bowl and use a brush to scrub it clean.

Antimicrobial Bathroom Cleanser

The bathroom is the bleachiest part of the house. And I don't use bleach. I use this stuff:

Ingredients:
14 oz. water or rosemary hydrosol
3 tbsp castille soap
15 drops of tea tree essential oil
15 drops of oregano essential oil

Use this cleaning spray to disinfect your bathroom surfaces. You can use the Super Surface Spray to rinse away any residue left behind by the castille soap.

Citrus Bleach Alternative

So, I told you that I liked lemons? Oh: they're my favorite fruit! This is part of why. Instead of using bleach- which I am very, very, very allergic to- I use this to whiten loads.

Ingredients:
12 cups water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup hydrogen peroxide

Mix. Add 2 cups per wash load or put in spray bottle and use as a household cleaner. Can be added to a wash as well.
