My favorite cleaner can be used on everything. This is the recipe - 1cup water 1cup alcohol 1cup vinegar 1 cup peroxide 1 tsp DAWN ( original ) put into dark colored spray bottle ( has to keep light out to keep peroxide active) not the clear or white, the must be colored enough to keep light out. This great it will clean everything plus it is very antimicrobial and anti smell. thank for the essential oil video this is going to help my cleaner

When I am drying bedding or sleeping garments in the dryer, I add a warm wet wash cloth with 15-20 drops of lavender essential oils to the dryer. Then after the clothes are dry, I take the wash cloth and put it in my night stand to smell while I'll falling asleep. Love it.

Also. My husband owns a Window Cleaning Company (30 years) and they use dish soap and water... about like you would use to wash dishes. He insists on Dawn, but I secretly think it doesn't matter. The dawn cleans the glass and as long as you get it dry and no lint (obviously we use squeegees) but old t-shirts do nicely. Also--the dish soap leaves surfactant on the glass which prevents/slows fogging.

@Emily Myrick best to use it just for cleaning windows then! I always rinse my washing up items very well (and live in uk so we don't get 'Dawn' here) I use Ecover washing-up liquid, but 'Fairy' is best for cleaning jobs (it's probably the same as 'Dawn'...😃)

Then I use my Lysol wipes on sink & toilet everyday. Luv y'all.

my linen spray that i use helps to disinfect anti bac my bed and mattress, 1 part water to 1 part witch hazel and then 10 drops lavender and 10 drops tea tree. (can halve the lavebeer and add 5 drops mint) this kills dust mites, mould and that bed smell! refreshes my bed in between the changes and when I strip the bed I spray it all over the mattresses and pillows to air dry! Its a beautiful smell and so nice to burrow into at night!

The linen spray is fantastic. Not only does it smell good but if you are a caregiver for an Alzheimer's parent/patient, it calms them down immediately when they are upset, and it makes putting them to bed so easy! I had been using it for a while and then a friend of mine told me the nursing homes are now using lavender scented patches that they put on the wrists of Alzheimer's patients when they are aggravated and it calms them right down. Cuts down the need for drugs/restraints. I know your focus is on cleaning but I wanted to share because it has this added benefit for caregivers too! You have not only helped me keep my house cleaner while being a caregiver for my father, but my house smells great and he is calmer and happier since I started using the linen spray. I used it for cleaning and had no idea it would have that effect on him. Thank you for the ideas and knowledge you share with us. You have made a huge positive difference in my life and helped being a caregiver a little less stressful. I think you are awesome!

I'm so glad you mentioned peppermint oil!!!!! I don't know if anyone else has commented this yet or not, but..... Did you know that peppermint oil can also be used to get rid of bad headaches? OH YES!!!! I MUCH prefer dabbing a couple drops of that on my temples / wrists to popping ibuprofen. I was a little skeptical about it until an employee got me to try it. She said to sniff it a couple times after I dabbed it on, which I did, & I'm telling you, Melissa, not only was my headache GONE within mere minutes, BUT it smelled amazing!!!!!! It's no wonder so many of us LOVE our essential oils! They truly are, essential!

For kitchen countertops I use 2 cups distilled water, 1 tsp dish washing soap and 1 table spoon glycerine. Put in a spray bottle. Shake well. Spray it and wipe it clean with microfibre cloth. For bathrooms (walls, wash basin and WC) 1/2 cup white vinegar, 2 cups warm water, 1tsp dish washing soap, 12 - 15 drops lemon essential oil and 7- 10 drops tea tree essential oil. Put in spray bottle and shake well and use. This is what I use in my house every day. PS: loved the mopping recipe. Will try out tomorrow.

I have been loving a recipe I found for a Homemade Daily Shower Cleaner: 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide1/2 cup rubbing alcohol1 tsp dish soap1 Tbsp dishwasher rinse aid2 cups of water Pour the peroxide, rubbing alcohol, dish soap, and rinse aid into a 24oz spray bottle. Then, fill the spray bottle the rest of the way with water. Replace the top of the spray bottle, and slowly tip the bottle back and forth to gently mix the ingredients. The hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol work together to help keep mildew at bay, and the soap and rinse aid fight soap scum. I found this recipe on One Good Thing by Jillee!

My husband is just getting over the flu and I'm a few days behind him. Today, Saturday, has been the worse. I thought I felt terrible Tues to Fri, oh no that was the preview! I don't care what I feel like on Sunday but that bed is getting stripped and disinfected! Hopefully I can get up early enough to clean the quilt and get it dried. Then spray the pillows and mattress with some combination of the mentioned oils. If I don't get the quilt washed, then I'll spray it as well. I'm planning on buying a new one in the sales anyway. I'll probably go with lavender, another floral and a citrus because it's my bed I don't want to use peppermint or anything to stimulating and yes I'll be adding lavender in the wash and making your linen spray.

Great video as always! I wanted to mention that you might want to research using essential oil around cats. I saw kitty on the bed :). (I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, and i am a certified aromatherpist). Dogs and cats process things differently from people and dogs have limits with essential oils too, but The feline liver works differently and they often can't process essential oils since the oils are about 70% stronger than the actual plants. Some oils are worse than others but all have cautions with cats just like with kids and we elderly. Dogs also have limits with essentials oils. I do use my oils all the time but make sure kitties, and dogs, are in the other room and don't let them in a room where I diffuse.

I love your diy recipes! I am a proud owner of your book and was making your toilet bowl cleaner. Unfortunately I used the wrong ingredients. A little back story, I had a huge container of baking powder that I had for several years. I Googled what to do with old baking powder, it said baking powder is the same as baking soda except with a couple added ingredients added and old powder could be used like soda because it would be too old for baking. An exception would be when making DIY toilet bowl cleaner. Whatever is in baking powder did not mix with the other ingredients and I had an explosion that rivaled a Mt St Helens all over my kitchen and me. So I learned my lesson, do not substitute ingredients!

I got this general all-purpose cleaning spray recipe from a book I read in the 80's: 2 Qts Water, 2 Cups Clear Ammonia (not sudsy), and 4 Tablespoons dishwashing liquid soap. I combine these in an empty gallon jug, pour some into a spray bottle. It has a strong ammonia smell, but it cleans nearly everything. I use it to get out carpet stains, laundry stains, sanitize counter tops/door handles/light switches. You just have to be careful when using it on walls, it will remove cheap paint.
