Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Howdy Folks and Happy Thursday I just started gathering some supplies as I begin my day cleaning my home .. and I wanted to mention in passing how much I LOVE to use my hydrosols around the house for cleaning! Today I am using a combination of Tea Tree and Lemon Tea Tree Hydrosols in the bathroom - perfect for use as a quick spray to wipe down and disinfect all of the surfaces (another trick - used dryer sheets make GREAT chrome polishers!) .... Then I'm using a combo of oregano and rosemary hydrosols in the kitchen - to disinfect all surfaces, use in the floor wash, and it makes the room smell so YUMMY. Also, not a hydrosol, but I'll be using some Lemon Myrtle EO in the wood oil soap I wash the floors with *Smile* Chris (list mom) Off To Clean!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 This is great Chris, thanks for the ideas! Do you use any of these as glass and window cleaners? I was thinking water, a little vinegar and lemon eo. Whatdaya think?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Do you just use the hydrosols straight? I would love to hear more about this... thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Howdy Debra ... All Happy Friday! Usually for window cleaner I just do the vinegar and water with newspapers deal .. but I don't see how adding ONE drop of lemon EO to a big batch of the stuff would hinder its effectiveness .. and it'd probably make it smells so much nicer too .. lemony fresh :-D *Smile* Chris (list mom) Get Yer Rose Otto Easter Baskets! http://www.alittleolfactory.com Debra McDuffee wrote: > This is great Chris, thanks for the ideas!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Hi again Jackie > Do you just use the hydrosols straight? I would love to hear more > about this... If I am using them as " disinfectant room sprays " (like Lysol) I use them straight, undiluted ..... or just spray them onto a cleaning rag and wipe stuff down like that When I make up cleaning blends I do dilute them ... I don't make up a BIG bucket of cleaning water, I usually just end up with about a cup or less of cleaning solution to clean a room .. and about 3 cups to clean my floors ..... so I don't need massive quantities of EO's or hydrosols for cleaning For regular cleaning I usually blend into water (no specific amounts of) baking soda, borax, and then an EO or hydrosol of my choice .... occasionally I'll use some of my homemade soap too I hope that helped a bit > > > thanks! > Jackie *Smile* Chris (list mom) Rose Otto Easter Baskets http://www.alittleolfactory.com > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
