Tools and Ingredients Needed

- Essential Oils (10-20 drops)
- Hot Water (2 cups)
DIY natural all-purpose cleaner
1. Borax Base (2 teaspoons)
Start by adding two teaspoons of borax into your spray bottle. This natural mineral will serve as the foundation for your cleaner, tackling dirt and grime effortlessly.
2. Liquid Castile Soap (1/4 teaspoon)
Next, introduce 1/4 teaspoon of liquid Castile soap. I chose tea tree-scented soap for its added disinfectant properties, but you can pick your preferred fragrance.
3. Essential Oils (10-20 drops)
For an optional aromatic touch, add 10 to 20 drops of essential oils. I stuck with tea tree oil for its potent disinfecting abilities, but don't hesitate to experiment with citrus oils or other favorites.
4. Hot Water (2 cups)
The secret ingredient! Pour in two cups of hot water to bring everything together. This will help dissolve the borax and soap, creating a powerful cleaning solution.
5. Shake it Up
Give your concoction a good shake. This will blend all the ingredients seamlessly, ensuring a homogeneous and effective cleaner.
