Multi-Surface Cleaner
If you need an all-purpose cleaner with a little more grit than our vinegar/water solution, try this natural cleaning concoction. (Always spot-test before trying it on a new surface.)
Make It!
- 2 teaspoons borax
- 1 teaspoon washing soda (not baking soda)
- Hot water
- 4 Tablespoons vinegar
- ½ teaspoon natural liquid soap
- ¼ teaspoon tea tree oil
- 8 drops rosemary oil
- 8 drops tangerine oil
- 8 drops lavender oil
Dissolve borax and washing soda (find them in your store’s laundry aisle) into 2 cups of very hot water, strain the mixture through a very fine sieve, and funnel it into a 1-quart spray bottle (or forget the sieve and just pour it in slowly, leaving behind any undissolved powder). Add the rest of the ingredients and shake to blend. Top off with more hot water and shake again.
