Soap-based rather than vinegar-based, so it's safe on stone benchtops and sealed timber. Essential oils add a fresh scent.
Method
- 1
Add the water first, then the castile (so it doesn't foam), then the oils. Shake gently.
How to use
- Spray, then wipe with a damp cloth. Buff dry on glossy surfaces.
Tips
- Use a glass or PET bottle — essential oils can soften some cheap plastics.
Safety
- Don't combine with vinegar — the two cancel each other out into a curdled mess.
- Tea tree oil is toxic to cats and dogs. Wipe surfaces pets might lick with plain water afterwards.
