Isopropyl alcohol
- Safe for multi-purpose use without the toxicity
- The higher the percentage, the better ⏤ I’m using 70% here, but use what you have, or what you can find
Distilled water
- Best option for the cleanest DIY All-purpose cleaning spray possible
- If you don’t have distilled water on hand, filtered water is a close second
- But, distilled water doesn’t have any of the nasty chemicals found in tap water
Purify essential oil
- An exclusive combination of essential oils that purify and eradicate odors naturally and safely
- Contains Lemon, Lime and Pine essential oils (known for their powerful cleansing properties), along with Siberian and Austrian Firs (to purify the air and protect against environmental threats), as well as Citronella, Melaleuca and Cilantro
- The recipe still works if you omit the essential oil, but this is highly recommended for best results
OnGuard essential oil
- Supports healthy immune and respiratory function
- Protects against environmental threats, such as influenza
- Supports the body’s natural antioxidant defenses
- Energizing and uplifting aroma
Stainless steel funnel
- Food-grade stainless steel construction for durability
- Compatible with most bottles, jars and containers for precise pouring
- Comes with detachable strainer
Glass spray bottle
- Distributes an even, light mist
- Silicone sleeve is stylish and adds an extra layer of protection
Swedish dishcloths
- 100% biodegradable, can compost in 6-8 weeks
- Washable and reusable, each cloth can replace 17 rolls of paper towels
- Extremely absorbent, can hold up to 20x their weight
- Not required to make this recipe, but highly recommended
How to make
- Fill your container halfway with Isopropyl alcohol
- Fill the other half with distilled water
- Next, add 10 drops of Purify essential oil
- Then, 10 drops of OnGuard essential oil
- Shake to combine and before each use
- All done!
- This recipe made enough to fill my 16 oz spray bottle with the easiest recipe for a powerful DIY All-purpose cleaning spray. But feel free to make more or less as needed!
How to use
- Shake well
- Apply light mist to the surface in need of cleaning
