  1. Great stuff! I used lemon-eucalyptus essetial oil to give a fresh scent. I have a toddler who is still practicing with his aim, so I love the disinfectant properties of this! It cleaned up our little messes quite well LOL!! I didn't have any extra spray bottles around, so I picked some up at Home Depot 3 for $3. Made for VEG*N tag.
     
  2. I'm on a septic tank too, so this was great to find posted here. I used lemon oil for the scent. It doesn't work great on stains, but it is a good everyday cleaner.
     
  3. This is a great spray for the bathroom. I used Tea Tree and Lavender oils. It leaves a nice clean smell, not vinegary at all. It wasn't the greatest cleanser, but it is meant to be a disinfectant. As a bonus, it works great for shining the sink! I wasn't sure about the photo of my toilet on a recipe site, but I've seen stranger things around here. Recipe #112019 ;) made and Reviewed for Photo Tag - Thanks!
     
  4. Finally found the essential oil! Made this using the citrus which leaves the bathroom smelling clean and fresh without using harsh cleaners. Surprisingly saw this in the weekend paper using tea tree oil which I have used but family members thought it too medicinal - the citrus seems to be fine with everyone - and one I really like. Will be adding more fragrances as I find them. Thank you - a keeper for me too.
     
  5. A great friendly cleaner/disenfectant:) I used Juniper essential oil for its antiseptic properties and lemon essential oil. I also used this on my vanity and basin. Worked like a charm:) A real 'keeper' for me.
