No doubt my hippie friends are already cleaning this way....but I want to share a great recipe for a do-it-yourself all-natural cleaning solvent that I found in "Gorgeously Green". Leave it to me to buy a green lifestyle book with a forward by Julia Roberts -- but this book suits my philosophy well -- we can't be perfectly green all the time, but small changes really can make a difference.
After a visit to Sunflower Market (love!) to get all the ingredients (some I already had) -- I came home, mixed 'er up and cleaned the bejeezus out of my kitchen. Good stuff!
32 ounce spray bottle
2 cups water
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon pure castile soap (peppermint)
3/4 cup hydrogen peroxide
20 drops tea tree oil
20 drops lavender oil (or lemon grass)
Even though my greener friends may already be cleaning with all-natural products, I thought you guys would like to try this recipe. It's great!
