    When recommending the use of essential oils, please warn your viewers that some are toxic to pets... some mildly and some dangerously toxic. In the formula recommended here, eucalyptus would be one not to use in a room where dogs might be. I couldn't figure out why my dog kept leaving the room when I used certain oils. Thankfully, I learned the lesson before anything serious happened. Others haven't been so fortunate. :(

Also, what is purpose of adding peroxide? I ask only b/c I've only been using alcohol and wondering if I've been Under disinfecting.

    • @eltonnoway7864
      @eltonnoway7864 4 года назад +4

      Well, "technically" its not really the same thing... although it certainly will work like isopropyl alcohol in regards to making a disinfectant. Just be aware denatured alcohol products like those sold at Home Depot, Lowes, hardware stores etc, contain Ethanol that is denatured with Methanol, Hexane Or Heptane. As a result these commercial denatured alcohol products tend to be very harsh and will strip and dry your skin over time. NET: As mentioned by Marie... its okay for making a home made disinfectant but it might be best to wear gloves to keep you skin from drying out.
