Spring is not the only time for some
household cleaning tips and tricks.
Dusting Spray.
All the ingredients serve a purpose,
and are non-toxic:
- Vinegar: Great all purpose cleaner
- Olive Oil: Helps prevent dust for settling
- Lemongrass Essential Oil*: Anti-bacterial, repels insects, smells awesome
*Other great oil options include:
lemon, lavender, peppermint, cinnamon, tea tree, and orange, among others.
Anything that is anti-bacterial with a nice scent will work.
The recipe is ridiculously simple.
Ingredients:
·
1 cup water
·
¼ cup white distilled vinegar
·
2 tablespoons olive oil
·
10-15 drops essential oil of your choice
Directions:
·
Mix all ingredients together in an empty spray
bottle
·
Shake before use. Simply spray directly onto the
surface you are dusting or a cloth and wipe the dust off. ( microfiber cloth works
best )

Produce
Wash.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- ½ cup vinegar (plain ol' white vinegar)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 bottle
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Pour the ingredients into a bottle(s) using a funnel. Store the DIY produce wash in the fridge until needed (this is necessary due to the fresh lemon juice).
To Use: Spray produce with the DIY
produce wash and then wash the produce under water. OR, pour ½ a cup of the DIY
produce wash in a sink of water and soak produce for 5 minutes. Rinse the
produce with fresh water.
