Get Rid of Lysol and Do a safe All Purpose Cleaner Recipe

So you know how when you catch your baby holding the spray bottle filled with Lysol Spray Cleaner and you want to scream and cry for fear because you know that they have been sucking the toxic cleaner out of the nosal end. Here is a very safe alternative with proven research info that will not harm your baby if that curious little thing gets into your cleaning bucket while your scrubbing away at the germs.
Two ways to choose.
Spray bottle filled with water and Lemon Essential Oil from doTERRA.
Or 1/4 cup Vinegar, 1 cup water and 30 drops of  Lemon Oil.(link to why this oil is so good to clean with) 
You can also use Lavender, Eucalyptus,or Wild Orange.(any time a word has color its a link check it out.) 
To do heavy traffic door handles use On Guard oil especially in the winter time.
To make an even tougher cleaner lets add a 1teaspoon of Borax or Baking Soda. Ooop scary some will say, not going to spray that on my counter, well here's a few linky views that may help you decide if that's the way you want to move in your recipe mix. Crunchy Betty says Getting to the Bottom of Borax and then of course there is the infamous (as my kids call it) Wikipedia.
So there's the scoop or the spray however you want to see it.  

Personally I like getting rid of the toxic Lysol and going green and feeling like the toast that gets set on the counter isn't picking up some residue that's harmful. You can actually consume doTERRA oils they are that safe but your not supposed to do that with Lysol.

 If I could I would put a big red X over that Lysol container. Which one would you choose to use? Healthy spray bottle with consumable oil or toxic Lysol wipes or sprays?
On this link you can see lots of other ways to use doTERRA oils as a cleaner with the recipes and all, Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Wood Floor Cleaner,  etc. just hit all those words back there.
(Key: any colored words are usually a link on this blog.)

Non Toxic Homemade Antibacterial Liquid "Soap"

I made my own liquid hand soap which was because of someone else's finding and sharing a recipe of course on Pintrest, but mine has my own little twist because I used an Essential Oil called, On Guard, it is so amazing. There are antibacterial properties in this soap and it does not make my little guys hands crack and bleed from using it. It's helped keep my kids from getting the flu this year and the ones that did get the flu were only sick a very short time. With 7 kids, 6 of them boys that's a feat I would say.

So here goes sharing my own Non Toxic antibacterial liquid Soap from our house to yours.

1 Bar of no scent soap,  I choose Ivory because it's known to not cause allergic reactions as often.
2 Tablespoons of Glycerin bought at the store in the Pharmacy area.
1 Gallon of boiling water.

Shave the soap then place shavings in the water until dissolved, I stirred it and then let it cool all night. See in that big silver pot.
Next morning I took my beaters mixed it up to break up all the chunks.

Added 30 drops of the On Guard Essential Oil that comes from doTERRA Essential Oils
 Go click back there on the word doTERRA to get some.
It has a very clean grapefruit,clove, cinnamon smell to it.
Why use that essential oil?  Well it's incredible properties and qualities are all listed at this LINK  and this LINK and this LINK too.
Try your own soap and then make your own nontoxic antibacterial soap that won't make your kids hands crack and bleed.
