All Purpose Cleaner

Glass spray bottle
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 3/4 cups water
30 drops essential oil(see combinations below)
Mix ingredients and shake well before each use.
Combinations oils to try
lemon + peppermint
peppermint + eucalyptus + sweet orange
tea tree + lavender
lemon + lavender
These are safe, disinfecting and smell great! I bought a bottle of Vinegar and bought a spray bottle at the dollar store. Then I poured the vinegar into a mason jar for future use. I used the vinegar jar for my spray bottle. You can also order glass bottles and Abundant Health.


All Natural Stove Top Cleaner

Baking Soda
Citrus Fresh Essential Oil
Water

Just take about a tablespoon of baking soda, about half as much water until it makes a nice paste, and then add 3 drops of orange essential oil and mix together. You can multiply the recipe to make enough for the size of your mess. The baking soda works as a light abrasive and studies show the Citrus Fresh Oil is a natural degreaser, and exhibits anti-fungal and antibacterial properties so it is perfect to zap that cooked on, greasy cook top! Not to mention, it makes it smell so fresh too!

Just spread your paste directly onto the cook top right over the mess. I like to use a soft scrub sponge to work it into the cooked on mess and then just wipe it up! The cooked on food just comes right off and the stove top sparkles. It is really amazing!

DIY Citrus Dish Soap Recipe

1 cup of Liquid Castile Soap, I use Bronners.
1/3 cup of distilled or purified water
1 tsp vegetable glycerin which helps to cut grease and thicken soap
5 drops of Lemon essential oil
5-10 drops of a complimentary essential oil like 5 drops of citrus fresh and 5 drops of purification
1/2 tsp fine salt
Optional: 1/2 capfull of Thieves All Purpose Cleaner to have more suds

Directions: Add salt to your soap dispenser or bottle, then add the essential oils and shake the jar to mix them together. Adding the salt to the oil will prevent the oils and water from separating to much.
Next, add the water-- shake, shake, shake to get the salt dissolved. Add the vegetable glycerin and Castile soap and shake a little. If you have a really greasy item, just squirt a little directly into the grease and scrub. The vegetable glycerin also helps it to be gentle on skin, too!

16 ounces of Alcohol
1 Tbsp Dawn Dish Detergent
4 Drops Lemon Essential Oil
4 Drops Purification Essential Oil
Combine all ingredients in a glass spray bottle and shake gently to mix.
IMPORTANT: Alcohol will evaporate when exposed to the air so you need to make sure you close the opening of the spray bottle to avoid this evaporating during storage. As long as it’s closed I’ve never had a problem with it being stored for months at a time.

1 Cup of Castile Soap
10 drops of Lavender Oil Heat two cups of water in a sauce pan and get it nice and hot. Then, add your baking soda and salt. Once it dissolves, pour it into a gallon jug. You can use an old milk jug if you like. Now add 1 cup of Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap. You can chose any scent you like. I love the lavender scent, but there are several others including an unscented one. Now add the essential oils and shake.

Oven Cleaner

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup sea salt (I always use this kind)
1/2 cup washing soda enough filtered water to make a thin paste
1/2 cup white vinegar
10 drops lemon essential oil
10 drops Melaleuca a. essential oil

Directions:
Preheat your oven to the lowest temperature possible and turn it off. Then, add baking soda, sea salt, and washing soda to a small bowl. Mix well. Add lemon and Melaleuca a. essential oils. Then add vinegar (it will fizz a little). After that slowly add water until it forms a thin paste. You want it thin enough to spread on your oven walls. If it is too thick it will be difficult to spread. Spread the paste all over your oven and leave on overnight. In the mornings wipe out your oven with warm water.

Toilet Bowel bombs

What to use for approx. 24 bombs
1 1/3 cup Baking Soda - amazing for all-natural cleaning AND deodorizing!
1/2 cup Citric Acid - low-strength acid used here for its cleaning,
whitening & deodorizing properties. I found it at Wal-mart in the canning area.
30 drops Lavender Essential Oil
30 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
30 drops Lemon Essential Oil
Medical Mask, to use when mixing the soda and citric acid.
All three oils have great antimicrobial properties and kill odor-causing bacteria.

Directions:
Mix the soda and acid together in a glass/ceramic bowel. Then put the oils in a spray bottle using a small funnel. Spray the mixture little by little, while stirring slowly. If the mixture isn't damp enough add just A TINY BIT of water in the spray bottle and spray the mixture - but again, I try to prevent the acid from fizzing away. After that I put the mixture in silicone molds and let them dry for about 6 hours. And then I store the bombs in a container with a lid - don't they look adorable?...I usually drop one in the toilet bowl whenever needed.

Homemade Natural Fabric Stain Remover

1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup liquid Castile soap. I use Dr. Bronner's in Peppermint
1/4 cup liquid vegetable glycerine
2 tablespoons baking soda

When something gets on your laundry, rinse it out with water as soon as you can. If that's not possible, then rinse out when it is. Then, spray the stain remover on the spot(s) and rub in with your fingers. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes, but 30 minutes to an hour is best.
