Make Homemade Non-Toxic Disinfectant in 60 Seconds
I had several people ask about my Non-toxic disinfectant recipe, so here it is:
16 oz. water
3 tbsp. liquid castile soap
30 drops tea tree oil
Mix together in a spray bottle.
Isn't that easy? You can throw it together in about 60 seconds and use it for pretty much anything!
Below are some other ways you can make a non-toxic disinfectant if you don’t have these ingredients on hand.
Other non-toxic products with disinfecting properties:
- Vinegar water (50/50 ratio) (do not use on marble surfaces)
- Hydrogen Peroxide (3 percent; if you want to spray it, you must use a dark spray bottle or screw the nozzle from another spray bottle directly onto the original peroxide bottle.)
- Thieves Oil
- Grapefruit seed extract
Update March 2020: These days my favorite way to clean is to use an e-cloth (see my review here) to clean up any actual messes, then I spray the surface with plain peroxide (so cheap!) Let it sit for 6-8 minutes, and it kills viruses! I get the ecloths as well as these lovely brown spray bottles for spraying the peroxide from Grove.co (sign up for a Grove.com account through this link and you'll get a free gift.
