This is my favorite all-purpose household cleaner. It's from <www.Recipegoldmine.com> and it appears under a couple of different titles. I think it's Miracle Cleaning spray, but you can toss the kitchen and bathroom cleaner and use this everywhere!

You'll need:

a sturdy spray bottle

1/4 cup white vinegar
2 teaspoons Borax
1/4 cup liquid soap
32 ounces hot water
20 drops lavender essential oil (or other if desired)*

Mix vinegar and Borax together. Add this and warm (not hot) water to bottle and shake until mixed well. Add liquid soap and lavender essential oil. Smells great! Spray and wipe with a paper towel or, keep a container of inexpensive, non-scented baby wipes in the bathroom for "disposable" cleaning wipes used with this miracle spray. A fraction of the cost of other cleaning wipes. Lavender is antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial naturally. My favorite all-time cleaner!

If I use the Palmolive ultra dish soap with lavendar, will that give the same cleaning? Also, can I replace the borax with ammonia for disinfecting (same proportion, I am sure!)

I believe it is liquid dish soap or a liquid castille soap like Dr. Bronners. If anyone else knows, please speak up.

Do you mean liquid clothes detergent when you state liquid soap? Thanks.
