This past weekend I dropped my daughter at college this is her 1st year. When we arrived at her empty dorm room, I realized we needed to go shopping for some basic essentials. I was looking at all the different cleaning supplies, and it dawned on me that I could not just buy any old thing due to her roommates. One thing about going away to school is the living conditions you have to be mindful of people and different allergies. I decide to find the recipes I had that non-toxic for cleaning items and thought I would share them with all of you.
Natural Carpet Deodorizer
10 Drops Tea Tree
10 Drops Lemon
20 Drops Lavender
1 16 Ounce Box of Baking Soda or Borax
Directions:
Add the baking soda to a large bowl and then add the Essential Oils. Be sure to
Mix the oils into the baking soda well. Since Lemon Essential oil is normally
Yellow, it is important that it is mixed well into the baking soda so that no
Undiluted Lemon oil stains your carpet. This blend may be adapted to use your
Favorite Essential oils, but try to add Essential oils that offer antibacterial and
Disinfectant properties to give the deodorizer an added benefit.
Easy air freshener spray
10 to 12 Drops of Essential oil(s)
1 Cup of water
Place ingredients in a spray mist bottle. Shake well and
Spray fragrance in the air or in a specific area
Antibacterial Surface Spray
100 ml distilled water
100 ml of rubbing Alcohol .” Do not use Isopropyl as it is derived from petroleum.
50 ml of White Vinegar
30 drops of essential oils
Make a blend of a blend of Clove, Lavender Orange Oregano, Pine and Rosemary essential oils.
Blend all ingredients together. Shake before use. Store in a cool dark location. Shelf life up to 12 months.
Use on counters and surfaces to clean and help eliminate harmful bacteria without the use of toxic chemicals. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
The best thing about almost all of these recipes is that you can found the ingredients already in your home or your local grocery store. You best believe her next care package will have a few items like to this in it
