Reusable Kitchen Wipes

Take an old t-shirt and cut it up into rag sized cloths.
Pour 1 cup warm water, 1 ounce liquid castile soap, and 5 – 10 drops of your favorite essential oil into a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Place the rags into the jar and turn upside down a few times until all the rags are soaked.
After being used, the cloths can be washed and returned to the jar to be used over and over again.

Natural all purpose cleaner

 In a spray bottle mix:
1 tsp borax
1/2 tsp washing soda
1 tsp liquid castille soap
essential oils as preferred- 4 drops lemon, 4 drops lavender and 10 drops orange
Add 2 cups of warm water. Distilled is best, but any water that has been boiled will work. Cover bottle and shake well. Use as needed. Use as bathroom cleaner, floor pre-treater, kitchen cleaner and on toys to disinfect.

Kitchen Disinfectant Spray

For kitchen cleaning the best method is to have two spray bottles. One hydrogen peroxide and one vinegar. Use them in conjunction but separately. Far safer then the what you would find to disinfect otherwise.

Dishwasher Soap

1 cup borax
1 cup washing soda mix well
