Homemade kitchen spray

5 replies

ThighsRelief · 30/06/2019 17:12

I have an empty kitchen spray bottle and want to make something for spraying the sink and work surfaces.

I have bleach, lemon juice, white vinegar, essential oils, soda crystals and baking powder.

Does anyone have a recipe please?

Half and half white vinegar and washing up liquid will clean sink, taps etc. Spray, leave a few minutes and then wipe over with a cloth dipped in hot water. Sprinkle and rub over cheap table salt for stains.

For quick wiping, half and half vinegar and water.

Essential oils make either more pleasant to use!

I read that some essential oils are toxic - I have jasmine for laundry do you think that would do for kitchen spray?

I use water, vinegar, washing up liquid. Sometimya bit of bicarb too. No particular quantities... mostly water, good dollop of white vinegar, likewise washing up liquid. Haven't used anything else in kitchen or bathroom for years. Apart from the odd squirt of bleach.

I use either lemon or peppermint because they're cheaper, in larger glass bottles and I associate them with 'clean'.

I have another spicy one ... goes to look up name ... Thieves Blend ... that I use for floors.

I use an old spray bottle, I don't like to breathe vinegar in, but I use it hot for round taps or cooker tops. For the kitchen and floor etc. I use a herbal disinfectant ( thyme and cinnamon) mixed with any essential oils I have around that are too old and plenty of water.

I've run out of lemon, Cynderella and I sniff mint, when I have a cold, also add a couple of drops to my filtered water drink Grin IMO it's too good for cleaning Grin
