Make Your Own Tea Tree Cleaning Solution

How to Make DIY Tea Tree Oil Toilet Cleaner

I am sensitive to some commercially prepared cleaning solutions so I like to make my own using milder ingredients whenever there is an effective alternative.

One great thing about this recipe is that each ingredient has many uses in the kitchen, in the home or in your personal care products. (Don’t eat the Tea Tree oil or the soap–of course!)

Last week I posted a review of Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil and launched a giveaway for a four-ounce bottle of their tea tree oil. I also printed a recipe for home made tea tree oil dryer sheets. In case you missed it, see: Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil: Review + Giveaway
