Sustainable Living 17

Continuing with my series, I introduce my new countertop cleaner.  Making this cleaner using my old countertop cleaner bottle eliminates all the plastic bottles that are created each time I purchase a new bottle, plus no nasty chemicals and it's extremely economical.  Another win-win recipe.

Countertop Cleaner

Take a spray bottle fill it about 1/8th full with rubbing alcohol, add a drop of Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds (or similar soap), a few drops of lemon essential oil, and fill the rest of the way with water.  Shake it together and clean your countertop.  (Adapted from recipe at www. granvillehouse.blogspot.com.)
