Eucalyptus All-Purpose Kitchen Spray

2 tablespoons (30 ml) white vinegar
1 tablespoon (15 ml) borax
2 cups (475 ml) hot distilled water
1/4 cup (60 ml) liquid castile soap
10 to 15 drops eucalyptus essential oil

It is best to use distilled water with this formula because the minerals naturally present in tap water can hamper the product's cleaning ability. Also, make sure to combine ingredients in this formula exactly as directed; if the borax is not dissolved properly, it could clog the bottle nozzle (use a clear bottle, if possible, so you can see what's going on). Combine vinegar and borax in a 16-ounce (475-ml) spray bottle. Fill bottle almost to top with very hot distilled water and shake until borax is dissolved. Add the soap and essential oil, then cap tightly. Shake lightly to distribute the soap throughout the mixture.
