This homemade disinfectant spray does more than just disinfect: it can also clean your windows, shower, taps, and kitchen surfaces. Use it on its own or as a follow up to our other cleaning products for double the cleaning power.

Shelf Life: 1 year

Benefits: The alcohol in the vodka disinfects and cuts through dirt, mildew, and soap scum. The essential oils all have antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiseptic properties.

Tips and Tricks: Don’t worry about spending money on good quality vodka—the cheapest, bottom shelf variety works just as well here.

And don’t worry—your house isn’t going to smell like the morning after a wild party. The vodka odor disappears as it dries, and you’ll be left with the scent from the essential oils.

Variations: We used tea tree, lemon, and peppermint for their disinfecting abilities. Other great essential oils to use include eucalyptus, orange, clove, cinnamon, and pine.

Level of Difficulty: Easy
