Homemade All Purpose Cleaner! Works on Glass!!


I love this cleaner I use it everywhere in the house! I've tried many recipes before and it seems like they all leave streaks or residue on glass. So I thought I would make up my own and I loved it. Of course this is extremely frugal and cost just pennies!

All Purpose Cleaner
1 cup vinegar
2 cups water
1 large squirt of dish washing soap
10-20 drops of tea tree oil for disinfecting
Other essential oils like lemon or orange to make it smell all pretty (optional) just put add drops until desired smell is accomplished

Directions: mix all ingredients in a spray bottle and go to work! Thats it! Easy as pie!

    1. You can get it at Hobby Lobby (in the candle making section), Walgreens, online at mountainroseher.com, I've heard walmart, or at a local health food or Whole foods type store!
