Natural Disinfectant

So simple to make! Cut lemons in half (I used three), then cut halves in quarters. Put into Mason jar and fill with white vinegar. Let sit for at least a week, strain, and put into a spray bottle. I love using stuff I make, knowing what's being used around my babies and pets!

... Read moreNatural disinfectants are gaining popularity as more people are looking for safer alternatives to chemical cleaners. By combining the antibacterial properties of lemons with the acidity of white vinegar, you can create a powerful cleaning solution suitable for various surfaces. To enhance the effectiveness of your homemade disinfectant, consider adding essential oils like tea tree or lavender, which have additional antimicrobial properties. When using your disinfectant, remember to let it sit on surfaces for a few minutes before wiping, as this allows the solution to work its magic. Additionally, you can repurpose old spray bottles to store your disinfectant, making it an eco-friendly option. For those looking for more natural cleaning tips, there are plenty of resources online that discuss the benefits of using vinegar and lemon juice for cleaning, deodorizing, and even pest control. This DIY approach not only reduces exposure to harmful substances but can also be a fun project to involve the whole family.
