Natural Cleaning: How to Make Your Own Multi-Surface Spray

Many commercial cleaning sprays contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can impact indoor air quality and irritate sensitive skin or lungs. Making your own spray is easy, natural, and cost-effective.

The Recipe

• 1 cup distilled water
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 15 drops of lemon essential oil
• 10 drops of tea tree essential oil

How it Works

White vinegar acts as a mild acid that cuts through grease and grime. Lemon oil adds a fresh scent and extra grease-cutting power, while tea tree oil provides natural antimicrobial properties.
