    I made a 1/2 recipe about a month ago just to try it out. Today I made the full recipe! This stuff made my tub and shower shine, cleaned my mirrors like nobody’s business, and so I used it on my windows and to clean the black appliances I have! Yes, I’m a little obsessed with this! The scent is a bonus! I clean my church (the children’s area) and this is what I take now for the bathrooms, classrooms, handrails, glass doors! Thank you for sharing! 👌🏻🙌🏻🤩

    Pro tip: mix your essential oils with just a bit of rubbing alcohol. A tablespoon or less should work. Then mix that with your water and vinegar. The alcohol with disperse the essential oils into the water.

    Great recipe!! 👏 I have been making my own all purpose cleaner for at least 8 years now. I use it on everything, even wood furniture. I have a couple of recipes, one with 99% isopropyl alcohol & the other with vinegar. I mostly use the rubbing alcohol. It works so much better than commercially made cleaners, it's super healthy & way less expensive!....
    - 16oz amber glass spray bottle
    - 1Tbsp Dawn dish detergent
    - Approx 1/4 cup iso. alcohol or vinegar
    - Essential Oils (Edens Garden) 25 drops Lemon & 25 drops Cinnamon... Sometimes I'll change it up with other oils
    - Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled or filtered water & shake before each use.

    I would recommend adding natural Castile soap and for multi purpose cleaner but no soap for the glass cleaner. The soap is extremely useful for cleaning and holding the dirt and oils in suspension
    For the glass clean you can substitute soap with isopropyl alcohol as it does the same thing and doesnt leaves streaks

I was wondering could we use other essential oils or does it have to be a lemon oil for full effect. I know you did mention it I just wanted to see if we have other options for essential oils as well.
