Making your own disinfectant

September 14, 2011

Most of the cleaning products I use are home made ones. Not only do they save money but they actually work
Im a firm believer that we use far to many chemicals in our homes and anything I can do to reduce this has to be good for the enviroment.
The following recipe is one I found on the NZ good morning show and has become a firm favourite for all sorts of uses.

In a spray bottle mix the following
350ml methylated spirits
100mls white vinegar
50mls water

This is a disinfectant which is supposed to kill 99% of germs. I can’t vouch for that claim but I do know it cleans well.

I spray all my stainless steel bench tops with it and it gives them a shine
Rubbish tins – it takes the smell out of them
Shower curtain. I sprayed it and left on for a few minutes then wiped off and it was astounding what came off what I thought was a clean curtain.
The uses are endless for this product and anywhere I would normally use disinfectant I have used this product and am very pleased with the results.
