A simple soap-and-water cleaner for the ordinary messes of living. Keep the concentrated soap in its own bottle and mix only what you need. Scent is optional.
Put the water into the clean bottle, then add the soap.
Close and tip gently to mix. Label the contents and date.
Test a hidden spot on a water-safe surface. Spray lightly and wipe with a damp cloth.
Remake small batches regularly. Keep out of children’s reach.
A little more than the ingredients
Why it belongs in the house.
Soap helps loosen oils and ordinary dirt so your cloth can wipe them away. One concentrated soap can make several fresh bottles, and an unscented version avoids adding fragrance you do not want.
Cleaning and disinfecting are different jobs. This mixture is for routine surface cleaning; it has not been validated as a disinfectant. Keep essential oils optional only after checking the surface, the oil’s directions and the people or pets nearby.
