Servings: 19 ounces
Cost: Under $2
Equipment
- 16-ounce spray bottle
- Measuring cups and spoons
- funnel (optional, but handy)
Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water distilled preferred — see notes
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Blue Dawn Ultra dishwashing liquid
- 20 drops lemon essential oil
Instructions
- Pour the warm water into a clean, empty 16-ounce spray bottle.
- Add the baking soda, Blue Dawn Ultra, and lemon essential oil.
- Put the spray nozzle on and gently shake to mix.
- To use: Spray directly onto greasy surfaces. Wipe clean with a damp microfiber cloth, then polish dry with a second cloth for a shiny, streak-free finish.
Notes
Distilled Water: If your tap water is hard or mineral-rich, using distilled water will help prevent streaks or cloudy residue on surfaces.
Mix Gently: Give the bottle a little shake before each use, just in case the baking soda settles at the bottom.
Surface Reminder: Safe for granite, quartz, slate, Formica, soapstone, stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic tile, finished wood, and concrete.
Pro Tip: Keep one cloth damp and one dry nearby to save time while cleaning!
