I've tried so many DIY spray and wipe recipes, nothing has worked, they would either smell foul or not cut through grease and grime like the commercial sprays. I have no idea why I didn't think of this recipe sooner, its so simple yet so effective.
The first recipe I used was methylated spirits with some essential oils. It was recommended by an owner of an organic shop who didn't use any chemicals in her home, so I thought I would give it a go. Well it burnt my nasal passages, made me dry reach and my oldest son (8) how has a few household duties to do (like wiping down his bathroom sink, wiping down the dining room table, and kitchen cupboard doors) refused to use it. I also noticed it discoloured the varnish on our table.
The second recipe I used was distilled whit vinegar with essential oils. This was far less toxic but still had a strong smell, I also found that it didn't cut through grease and grime and that I would need to a squirt some dishwashing liquid onto the surface I was cleaning just to shift what I was cleaning.
This recipe came out of desperation, but it's brilliant and I will not be using anything else! It's a combination of heavily diluted castile soap and germ fighting essential oils.
