Recipe: All-Purpose Pine Cleaner and House Wipes Solution

[Guest guest]

Okay, here it is: This is the basic all purpose pine cleaner recipe, and

it can be used as a solution for household cleaning wipes.

 

All-purpose pine cleaner:

Combine the following:

10 drops of pine essential oil (Pinus sylvestris),

1 teaspoon liquid castile soap

1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

1/2 tsp borax powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

12 ounces oregano hydrosol

8 oz warm water

 

This blend can be used in a spritzer bottle or a pour bottle. Also I

find that it works great for making disinfectant/deodorizing wipes for

maintenance of the toilet area. Since it doesn't contain chlorine bleach

it is also more environmentally friendly than many of the commercial

household wipes that are available.

 

To make wipes you'll want to use a durable quality paper towel such as

Bounty or Brawny. Tear off paper towels from their roll and lay in a

square/rectangular plastic container (such as a baby wipes tub or

Tupperware container). They can be folded or cut in half. Slowly pour

cleaner solution over the stack of paper towels. They will compact down

somewhat after absorbing the liquid. Seal tightly.

Hi Chris and all,

Nice to see that I'm in good company re badly aiming little boys ;-D

 

And thanks Chris for the formula, I'm surely gonna try it but have

some questions. Since I don't have any oregano hydrosol (can't get it

here and shipping that amount of liquid from AVT is too darned

expensive), do you think I can make a strong water infusion - or a

tincture from dried oregano and it will work??

Second - I don't have any borax and never will (it's considred fairly

cancerogenous over here), so I wonder what I can use instead?? Citric

acid maybee?

 

Fragrant blessings,

Ylva

Hi Chris,

 

Thanks for posting this! All I need is the Pine EO and hydrosol, and I'm set to

go. Oh yeah, need a spray

bottle too.

I am sure that for this purpose using a drop of oregano EO would work

great, or maybe even a strong oregano tea ...

If you don't have borax, just skip it .. so, please tell me more about

borax being carcinogenic?!?!
