Your adorable.
Hi, I just commented on another one of your videos... You are not supposed to mix peroxide and vinegar. Alcohol can be mixed with peroxide and vinegar SEPARATELY, but peroxide and vinegar are not meant to be mixed together, they create peracetic acid
Those curls are on point!!!! Love them.
Thank you so much!
Awesome. Thanks so much. I became your subscriber.
O.M.G. I was just on UTUBE looking for Hemp Oil.
And I went to your videos and there you were making
Pain oil. I suffer from chronic pain 24/7 there's times that I can't even stand the pain I want to just jump into the fire. I don't drink or can't smoke weed.
So I will definitely make this for my pain.
Thank you ladygravedancer.
Coming to you from the Southside of Chicago.

This is really simple to make and like you said cost efficient! thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you! I was using a vinegar and water spray only though this seems better. :)
Hi Sara and thank you again for this recipe that you shared, and I'll be making it again tomorrow! Thanks for making us safe from the bad germs. Stay safe and God bless you and your loved ones.
You're so welcome! Thank you.
Thank you so much❤
I will try.tnx
Does it make sense to use an actual lemon and use drops of that in case I don’t have citrus essential oil ? Would it mold up in a spray bottle ?
Thank you so much for your great tips. I have been having a lot of sinus infections this last year. I'm going to get rid of all of my toxic sprays disinfects and air fresheners that I have. I'm going to switch and do natural and making them myself. 👍🥰
Oh I hope that helps! Frequent sinus infections are really tough.
Hi Sarah! I love your videos! I was wondering if you happen to have any tips to make a disinfecting spray for fabric? You mentioned that the alcohol needs to be used on non-porous surfaces but I am trying to transition from Odoban disinfectant spray which I regularly use for my couch. My couch is a fabric charcoal grey couch, and I’m concerned about fading. Thanks!
Hi! I wouldn’t use this on a couch, that’s true. I’d use something more like my baking soda and essential oils recipe. Also, I don’t know a lot about bacteria and cloth surfaces, but my feeling is they don’t thrive and live there and that disinfecting like a couch isn’t necessary. If the couch is dirty, I’d use a Bissel wet vac and clean it that way, with some nontoxic soap.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife thank you!!
can you spray this on clothing to kill germs> i live in NYC i want to spray my coats and pants and shirts after being on the trains in NYC
I like to use Everclear 190 which is 95% alcohol so it's really good for disinfecting and the best part it doesn't smell bad and works like a charm solubilizing the essential oils. Question, do you know if Everclear Alcohol is corrosive like rubbing Alcohol (to use on wood cabinets)?
Hi Eric! Yes it is also corrosive - need to be careful using it on any finished wood or other porous surfaces. And so that to know that you like using the Everclear 190! Thanks for leaving your tip to help others.
Received my Label, thank you!! Will be ordering all labels soon!!
-Vivian
So glad you got it, Vivian, and are enjoying it! Thank you for your order!
Hi, is this safe for cleaning up your car interior?
It can also eliminate bad odor???
Do you have a recipe for lysol disinfecting spray like for air? Room spray. That’s fairly safe to use in rooms?
Hi Rita! Yes, I do. It's a fresh air spray - here's the recipe! I need to do a video on it soon. mymerrymessylife.com/fresh-air-spray-essential-oils/
New subscriber! Im from ohio, i cant find lysol or disinfectant anywhere ive found a few since this all started but what i get has to go between my house and my 90 yo gmas home so im going to try this thank u!!❤
Hi Morgan! Hope it goes well! Stay healthy out there.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife thanks so much you as well! I made one with lavendar and lemon and an orange and tea tree one i love them thanks for the video😍😍
@@morganprice4907 Oooo I love mixing orange and lavender together! It must smell lovely.
would you use it on a baby height chair each day
where do you by distilled ginger is distilled ginger the same as regular vinegar?
Where do you buy essentials oils and the hydrogen peroxide from
Hi! I buy Distilled Vinegar (not ginger) and Hydrogen Peroxide in our local grocery store or also on Amazon. I buy essential oils from Young Living Essential oils and the links to purchase them are in this blog post - mymerrymessylife.com/natural-disinfecting-spray-recipe/.
I do equal parts rubbing alcohol and peroxide with EO’s on really bad smells. Like the inside of my sons shoes. Also, as a room spray after my daughter comes in with too much perfume and it stays after she leaves. It kills all smells!
Nice! Thanks for sharing your tips.
Hi ma'am. Can i use any rubbing alcohol as long as 60%? Or does it matter if it is isopropyl or ethanol?
Hi Jessa! So both Isopropyl and Ethanol alcohol work, so does a pure grain alcohol like Ever Clear (180 proof or higher). 60% or higher is what kills germs, and the higher the better. I've actually been using 91% to be on the safe side.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife okay ma'am thank you 😊 ive been looking through the internet of videos for diy disinfectant and yours was the best and i think the most effective since i also have the materials at home. This is for my school project thanks ma'am it really helped me a lot
@@jessajira5272 So glad it has helped you for your school project, Jessa! Thanks for watching!
Love it : can only make it after Restricted Movement Order is lifted. Thank you
Which country do you live in, Parames?
Very good information, thank you for sharing the details on the artificial fragrances 👍🏾sj
My pleasure 😊. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the video!
Amazing and thank you Sara! Very informative video and you are very thorough because you are a great teacher! I just made it and now I feel safe in the house - germ/virus free! I put Lavender and smells so good! I stored it in an empty Hydrogen Peroxide bottle, because I don't have yet the brown amber glass spray bottle. Can I find this at Target pr Walmart? BTW, it's still cold here in my state, Minnesota, and the virus like this.
Hi Fely! You're so kind to leave such a nice comment - thank you! Lavender is a wonderful idea. I don't think you can get the brown amber bottle at Target or Walmart, at least, not that I know of. But you can order it with from Amazon with the link I provided in the description. :) One of my best friends lives in Minnesota!
Thanks again Sara for the info. I'll order the amber bottle from Amazon. For the meantime, I'm using my empty hair spray black bottle. Before I used it couple of weeks ago, I thoroughly clean with hot water. BTW, nice to know that you have a friend that also lives in Minnesota.
Will 50 percent alcohol work...Haven't been able to find anything higher ughh?
Hi Paola! Yes it will, you'll just want to decrease the amount of Hydrogen Peroxide and increase the amount of alcohol so the concentration of alcohol is higher.
any idea about citric acid? concentration and contact time?
Hi there! Citric acid isn't in this recipe...are you referring to a different video of mine?
How many drops of essential oils and what kind do you recommend for efficiency?
You need about 15-20 drops of essential oils, depending on the brand you're using. Young Living Essential Oils are super powerful and potent so 15-20 is enough. Other brands you'd probably need more!
Hi Sara, I followed your recipe but somehow my hands got itchy and a bit burnt and some white dots appeared on my skin after using the spray. I immediately washed my hands under water thoroughly and it stops irritating my skin. Do you know what may cause this and what I can take out or substitute for that ingredient?
Hi Anh! I'm sorry to hear you had that experience. Yeah so this spray is meant for surfaces and not as much for the skin. If you have sensitive skin, the alcohol in it can irritate the skin. Have you reacted to alcohol-based products before.
Can I use pieces of a pine tree instead of essential oil?
That might work! It’s worth a try.
Hi, what size is your spray bottle you are using for this recipe?
It is a 16 oz. bottle. :)
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife thank you
So I don’t know but I used this idea but I decided to use a bit of vinegar and baking soda along with everything else 🤷🏻♀️
I need to get hydrogen peroxide. I have the others. I love my YL Citrus Fresh. I'm from Malaysia
From Malaysia! How wonderful. Citrus Fresh is such a wonderful oil! Thanks for stopping by
The recipe starts at 6 minutes.
I can't use alcohol because we have family members who are recovering alcoholics
Yeah, I totally get that. Don't want Vodka or Everclear sitting around. Just use rubbing alcohol instead then
The only alcohol sale here is 50%
Hi Ruth! Do they sell Everclear? It would need to be 140 proof to have enough alcohol to kill germs.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife ok
Let me understand what you where making was a disinfect not a cleaner
Yes that is correct. This won't help you remove dirt. It just disinfects.
Dont mix chemicals. It will form another chemical and that chemical may not be able to disinfect
Yeah that can happen with some chemicals. Like mixing Castile Soap with Vinegar is not good. But with this recipe, I used it after a stomach bug continued to go around our house for WEEKS. I sprayed everything I could think of with this recipe and the stomach bug finally went away. So although I have not done a scientific test on it to prove it kills germs, I've found it has worked for us. Anecdotal evidence, which is good enough for me. But we must all do what we feel is right for us. :)
