About the Recipe
Homemade cleaning solutions can easily be made by mixing thyme essential oil with water and vinegar, creating a powerful cleaner for countertops, floors, and bathrooms. I like to add a few drops of another essential oil like bergamot, mint, rosemary, or lavender to raise the aromatic impact a notch.
Ingredients
5-10 drops of thyme essential oil
5-10 drops of additional essential oil of your choice like lavender, mint, rosemary or bergamot
2-3 drops of dish soap
2 cups water
1 cup white vinegar
Preparation
Simply combine all of the ingredients together in a 32 ounce spray bottle. You can reuse one that previously had commercial cleaner in it or buy a glass one specifically for this purpose. Make sure it is colored glass though to protect the essential oils from sunlight. Each time you use it for cleaning, give it a gentle shake first. Oh, and make sure you label the bottle so you don't forget what it is!
