DIY Spring Cleaning Home Cleaners
Here's a guide on how to infuse aromatherapy with some cleaning products:

All-Purpose Cleaning Solution: 
Ingredients: 1 cup distilled white vinegar, 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 10-15 drops of essential oil of your choice, 1 empty bottle.

1.In a clean spray bottle, mix 1 cup of distilled white vinegar with 1 cup of water. This will help dilute the vinegar to a safe level for most surfaces.

2. Carefully add 1 tablespoon of baking soda into the bottle. Do it slowly to avoid the baking soda from fizzing when it comes into contact with vinegar. The baking soda provides mild abrasiveness, which is great for scrubbing and lifting stains.

3. Add 10-15 drops of your preferred essential oils. If you're looking for a powerful disinfecting blend, use tea tree and peppermint.

4. Secure the lid and shake the bottle gently to combine all the ingredients. The essential oils will mix with the vinegar and water to create a fragrant and effective cleaning solution.


Floor Cleaning Solution
Ingredients: 1 bottle of Sal Suds, 5-10 drops of essential oil of your choice, 1 Bucket.

1. Mix 1-2 teaspoon of Sal Sud solution into your bucket with 5-10 drops of your preferred essential oils. Gently stir the mixture.

2. Fill the bucket with mixture with water.
