I've received several requests to post a bit more about DIY, non-toxic cleaning products, so I thought I could make today's post about an easy, germ killing spray you can make at home.
Hydrogen peroxide is completely safe to use, odorless and non-toxic. It kills 99% of germs - I'll take that over bleach.
Ingredients:
1 cup Hydrogen Peroxide
1/2 cup water
1 sprayer
Combine the ingredients into a glass measuring cup, and pour into your sprayer. I'm not using the most ideal sprayer in these photos, as hydrogen peroxide is light-sensitive. I recommend a more opaque sprayer to preserve the solution.
Once week (especially during cold season), I spray all the commonly touched places in our apartment.
Places like doorknobs, cabinet and fridge handles, countertops, and light switches.
Do you have any other DIY cleaning recipes to share? On Friday, I'll share another favorite of mine!
Awesome! And as always, you can add a little essential oil (like peppermint & lemon) to make it smell nice. 😀
Thanks, Becca. I *love* these recipes!
You’re totally right! I would definitely add lemon to this one. 🙂
