You will need
1 tsp Liquid Dish Soap
1 tsp Borax
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Vinegar
1 Spray Bottle
Essential oil (optional)
Add dish soap, borax, lemon juice and vinegar to bottle. Fill bottle with 1 quart hot water. Place the spray nozzle on the bottle and shake until all ingredients are mixed.
If you have hard water stains, use 2 tsp lemon juice and 2 tsp vinegar.
You can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to add a pleasant scent. I use grapefruit (mood-booster and antiseptic) ’cause I like the way it smells. You could also use lemon, lavender or tea tree oil (all three are antiseptic and antibacterial).
