I wanted to try something different to clean the kitchen table this weekend. I have changed most of the products I use for cleaning, but store bought spray cleaner for the kitchen table is one that is still kicking around.
The kids do spill (just occasionally of course - haha) and will then pick the food up off of the table and eat it. So....does it make sense to be spraying the table with a chemical cleaner when there are other options available? Probably not!
Here's what I tried....
-6 cups warm water
-almost a full squirt of Mrs Dunphy's Wash Day Simple Soap (a castille soap product I recently purchased from Rae Dunphy Aromatics in Calgary, AB, and love BTW)
-5 drops lemon essential oil
-4 drops eucalyptus essential oil
**You don't need to use this many drops of EO's if you don't want to, I just prefer a little extra!
**Together, these EO's add antibacterial and antimicrobial properties to your solution!
The result was a clean table with lots of shine!
I then used the same products on my kitchen floor (porcelain tile), which worked nicely as well!
**Be sure to do a test patch when trying new solutions to be sure it is a good match for your finishes!
Happy Cleaning!
