Having pets and kids has made me so much more aware of what I use, both with cleaning products and body care. I began making some of my cleaning products for that reason, and also because it is a lot cheaper to use what I have on hand. I took to Pinterest and searched away. Because I wanted to use what I already had in the house, I used this recipe and tutorial. I loved the printable that came with it too! You can also find the Pin here.
First, I gathered all my ingredients and my helper. I didn't have mint essential oil on hand, so I used some tea tree oil since it is used for cleansing. Well, that's the bottle says, and I've used it before and seems to work so I used it again. I did add some fresh mint this time (only because I had so much overflowing from my herb garden). I don't know if it really did anything different but at least I used some up. I used Dawn for the dish soap, because it is my go-to and I find it works better than anything else. To make it even more natural, you could use an all natural dish soap instead.
I let my helper do most of the work. His favorite part was giving it a good shake at the end and the thumbs up let me know we were ready to clean! And judging by the background of that thumbs up pic, my house needed a good cleaning.
**I believe you can order bottles online, but I like to be super thrifty so I used some leftover bottles that I had from Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day spray.
