DIY Cleaning Spray

I've been using essential oils in my beauty products for a few months now. So why not use them in my cleaning products too? Young living has a great product for cleaning, Thieves Cleaner, a little bit goes a long way - so its definitely worth the money. 

Unfortunately, I was a little tight for cash and I wanted to try to make my own version. Vinegar is a great cleaning ingredient, so I use that as the base for my cleaner (1:1 ratio with filtered water). I add about 20 drops of thieves cleaner for a 16oz bottle. I also add 10 drops of Edens Garden 'Cleaning Blend', it contains tea tree which is a great antibacterial. Thieves contains Lemon, but I like to add a few extra drops of lemon for an added citrus cent.

I use this cleaner for everything! Floors, counters, bathroom sink, kitchen table, and pet toys.

NOTE: For an added boost (like showers and really gunky stuff, I add baking soda for a scrub type cleaner)

UPDATE 12/23/15: I now add 10 drops Purification to my cleaning spray - it contains Eucalyptus, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lemongrass, and Lime. A great disinfectant with an amazing smell.
