Ingredients

1 cup White vinegar
2 tablespoons Baking soda
2 teaspoons Liquid Castile soap
10 drops Essential oil (e.g., lemon, lavender, or tea tree)
8 cups Distilled water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl or bucket, combine the white vinegar and baking soda. Be prepared for some fizzing when these two ingredients react.

Step 2

Once the fizzing has subsided, add the liquid Castile soap and mix slowly to avoid excess foam.

Step 3

Add the essential oil of your choice to the mixture. Essential oils not only add a pleasant fragrance but also have antibacterial properties. Stir gently.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the distilled water, stirring as you go, until all 8 cups are incorporated. This will dilute the cleaner and make it safe for use on most surfaces.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into a clean spray bottle or reusable container. Shake the container gently before each use as the ingredients may settle over time.

Step 6

To use, mop or wipe your floors using the solution. Ensure not to oversaturate wood or laminate flooring. Allow the floor to air dry.
