Our antibacterial all-purpose cleaner allows you to replace many of the chemical cleaners you keep under your sink with one bottle of natural aromatic goodness!
To make your own essential oil cleaner at home, you’ll need:

• White vinegar
• Water
• 20 drops Lively Living Organic Lemon Essential Oil
• 20 drops Lively Living Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil

Simply add the essential oils to your spray bottle, and top with half vinegar / half water. Screw the lid back on and shake to thoroughly combine.
 
You’re now equipped with a powerful product you can use in countless ways around your home. Once you discover the difference our essential oil all-purpose cleaner can make in your household, you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.
