Is This Homemade Cleaning Spray Effective?
Absolutely! Homemade cleaning sprays, especially those made with citrus, harness the natural cleaning power of citrus oils, known for their incredible ability to break down grease and grime.

This means a safer environment for you and your loved ones.

What’s in This Cleaning Spray Recipe?
Cleaning Tablet
The innovative Cleaning Tablet is at the heart of our Citrus Multi-Purpose Homemade Cleaning Spray. Crafted from all-natural ingredients, the cleaning tablet dissolves in water to create a potent cleaning solution that effortlessly cuts through grime and dirt. Its concentrated formula ensures every spray delivers a powerful punch, making cleaning efficient and enjoyable.
Citrus Burst Essential Oil Blend
Citrus Burst Essential Oil Blend is a carefully curated mix of natural citrus oils designed to elevate your cleaning experience. This blend functions as a natural cleaner that powerfully cuts through dirt and grime and leaves behind a bright and refreshing scent that revitalizes your home’s atmosphere.
Distilled Water
Distilled water is the perfect base for our homemade cleaning spray. It provides a clean, mineral-free medium that ensures the dissolved Cleaning Tablet and Citrus Burst Essential Oil Blend synergize effectively. By using distilled water, we ensure that the cleaning solution remains potent and free from any impurities that could interfere with its cleaning capabilities.
Isopropyl Alcohol (Optional)
Adding Isopropyl Alcohol to our cleaning spray recipe is an optional but highly recommended step for those seeking extra sanitization. Known for its powerful disinfecting properties, isopropyl alcohol can kill germs, bacteria, and viruses on surfaces, ensuring your home is not only clean but also hygienically safe.
