All hail the ALL PURPOSE CLEANING SOLUTION!
Before we get to the recipe, let's chat about a few not-so-fun facts about commercial chemical cleaners...
❌ Many common household cleaners contain harmful chemicals like Phthalates, Parabens, Triclosan, Ammonia, Chlorine, BHT, Formaldehyde, Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) + Fragrances. These and other chemicals may cause or exacerbate asthma conditions, are carcinogens (cancer causing), or are skin irritants.
❌ We absorb + inhale (and even consume) these and other chemicals into our bodies. Our liver’s duty in the detoxification process is to eliminate toxins through our sweat, urine + waste. As our bodies are inundated with toxins all the time, our livers are taxed and eventually the organ doesn’t function as well. As a result, some these chemicals get stored up in our liver, fat cells + tissues!! WTF?!
❌ Fragrance is in most cleaners (as well as face, body + hair care products) but this one name in the ingredient list is actually made up of hundreds of chemicals. Phthalates is one chemical component in fragrances. Phthalates are absorbed into our bodies + mimic our endocrine receptors, resulting with the body getting mixed messages and disruption of our endocrine system. 😡
One great way to start decreasing your toxic load is by ditching the commercial toxic cleaners and creating your own non toxic cleaning solutions.
Enter the All Purpose Cleaning Solution!
Here is the recipe:
💧 2 cups of Distilled White Vinegar
💧 1 TBSP of Pure Castile Soap (Unscented) OR Dr. Bronners SAL SUDS
💧 20 - 30 drops of doTERRA essential oils
(On Guard, Lemon, Wild Orange + Tea Tree are a few of my faves to use for cleaning)
💧1 Cup of Filtured or Distilled Water
Add all ingredients in a glass container (a glass sparkling water bottle does well), add a sprayer top, and shake to combine.
Shake the bottle before every use, spray + clean most of your surfaces!
When you are adding in Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) essential oils to your recipes you can ramp up the cleansing, disinfecting, antibacterial, anti fungal, and antiviral ability of the solution depending on the oils you use. 💧💜 🤗
