For sprays: Mix in a spray bottle, shake well before use.

For dusting cloths: Mix oil + essential oil. Add hot water, mix well. Swish cloths in water
mixture, squeeze out, hang dry. Hand rinse used cloths; line dry. (NO dryer.)
For scouring powders & scrubs: Mix well, scrub over surfaces with a wet sponge, rag, or
toilet brush, depending on area you’re cleaning. Rinse thoroughly.

Wear gloves to protect hands while cleaning. Spot test all cleaners
before using over a larger area. Don’t use vinegar on granite,
stone, or marble, or use essential oils around cats.
