How to Make Your Own Disinfectant Spray (like Lysol)
Materials
- 8 ounces water*
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
- 7 drops lemon essential oil
- 7 drops tea tree essential oil
- 7 drops rosemary essential oil
- amber glass spray bottle
You could use either tap water or distilled water in your homemade cleaning products. The reasons for using distilled vs tap water would depend on your local tap water. If your tap water has a lot of minerals in it (i.e. if you have hard water), it could leave “water marks”, which would of course be annoying when you’re trying to clean!
Instructions
- Start by adding the eight ounces of water to a spray bottle container of your choice.
- Now all you have to do is add in the drops of all the essential oils!
- Close your container tightly and shake well until everything is mixed together.
