How to Make Home Sanitizer

Home sanitizer spray cleans your linens and surfaces while adding a fresh smell to your environment. When you make your own homemade home sanitizers, you not only save money but you're also given the opportunity to mix and match myriad ingredients. Knowing how to make your own home sanitizer spray prepares you for adding your own personality to the essentials used in keeping your home clean and fresh.

8 oz. distilled water
1 oz. white vinegar
1 tbsp. baking soda
40 drops lemon essential oil
20 drops assorted citrus essential oils
10 oz. spray bottle

Instructions

- 1
  Mix the water and vinegar in the plastic spray bottle.
- 2
  Drop the baking soda into the bottle. The vinegar will be so diluted that it will only create a slight fizzing action. In a 10-oz. bottle, it won't overflow. The baking soda, along with the vinegar, is a natural odor neutralizer and sanitizing substance.
- 3
  Add the lemon essential oil. This highly concentrated citrus oil is long-reported to possess cleaning capabilities.
- 4
  Add a blend of citrus essential oils of your favorite scents. Examples include lime, blood orange, mandarin, grapefruit and tangelo. This adds an extra bit of scent to your home sanitizing spray.
- 5
  Screw the cap on your spray bottle and shake it vigorously for two minutes. The end result will be a slightly clouded water solution that can be sprayed on linens to freshen them and on surfaces to dust them. Thanks to the cleaning power of vinegar, citrus and baking soda, your environment is easily sanitized without the use of harsh chemicals.
