How To Make A Natural Disinfectant

1. Vinegar-Based Disinfectant Spray

Material Required

• White vinegar
• Water
• Essential oil (of your choice)
• Glass spray bottle

If you are making disinfectant for the kitchen then, you can go for the lemon essential oil to neutralize a strong kitchen smell. For neutralizing bathroom odours, you can try Tea tree oil and for your bedroom or living area, you can try milder smelling essential oils such as chamomile or vanilla. It is recommended to use glass bottles as essential oils can sometimes react with plastic.

How To Use Disinfectant Spray?

• The first thing you need to do before disinfecting any surface is to remove dirt or any other buildup on the surface.
• Give the bottle containing the disinfectant a good shake so as to mix all the ingredients well so that the spray will be effective.
• Holding the bottle at an arm’s length from the surface, spray the disinfectant thoroughly.
