Formula:

Ingredient Notes: 

Distilled Water: Acts as the base of the formula, dissolving and carrying all other ingredients while allowing for easy spray application. 

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside: A gentle, non-ionic surfactant that lifts and removes dirt, grease, and residues from surfaces. It also helps solubilize the essential oils so the formula remains evenly mixed.

Propanediol 1,3: Improves how the cleaner spreads across surfaces, helping reduce streaking and spotting. It also provides a small boost to cleaning performance and gives a more polished finish after wiping.

Essential Oil Blend: Provides a fresh, natural scent while contributing light degreasing properties, particularly from the citrus oils.

Liquid Germall Plus: A broad-spectrum preservative that protects the formula from microbial growth, ensuring stability and safety over time.

Instructions:

  • In a small measuring cup, mix the essential oil blend with the Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside until uniform. This ensures proper solubilization.
  • In a separate container, add the distilled water.
  • Slowly add the Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside and essential oil mixture to the water, gently mixing to avoid excessive foaming.
  • Add the propanediol and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Add Liquid Germall Plus and stir gently to combine.
  • Using a funnel, transfer to a 16 oz amber glass bottle and twist on the sprayer. Your all-purpose cleaner is ready for use.

Tips:

The final product should be clear to slightly hazy with no separation.
Suitable for most sealed surfaces, including countertops, appliances, and general household cleaning.
For heavier grease, the surfactant level can be increased slightly if needed.

How to use:

Spray directly onto surfaces and wipe clean with a cloth or paper towel. Suitable for most sealed surfaces such as countertops, appliances, and general household cleaning.

For heavier soil, allow the product to sit for a few moments before wiping. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area prior to full use.

Warnings & Precautions

  • For external use only. Do not ingest.
  • Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Do not use on unsealed or delicate surfaces. Always test before full application.
  • Some essential oils may not be suitable for all surfaces. Test before use, especially on plastics or finished coatings.
