All-Purpose Cleaner

A Natural Way to Clean

The lemon essential oil in this recipe is excellent at cutting grime and also provides a fresh scent. Tea tree oil (also known as Melaleuca) fights germs, bacteria, and viruses. Use this cleaner on any surface where an all-purpose cleaner is normally used.

No harmful chemicals.

1/2 cup vinegar 1 1/2 cups warm water 15 drops Melaleuca (tea tree oil) 15 drops lemon essential oil
