Step 1: Gather Your Herbs
First, head out to your garden and gather fresh rosemary, thyme, lavender, mint, and sage. These herbs not only have antibacterial properties but also add a lovely scent to your homemade disinfectant spray.
Step 2: Create Herbal Infused Vinegar
In a small pot, combine equal parts water and vinegar. Add a handful of each herb to the mixture and let it simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes. This process will infuse the vinegar with the herbs’ natural disinfectant properties.
Step 3: Let it Cool and Strain
After letting the vinegar mixture cool, strain out the herbs using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Transfer the infused vinegar into a spray bottle for easy use.
Step 4: Clean and Disinfect
Now, you’re ready to use your homemade herbal disinfectant spray! Simply spritz it onto countertops, sinks, and other surfaces, and wipe clean with a cloth. Not only will your home be sparkling clean, but it will also smell delightful!
Step 5: Store for Future Use
Store your herbal disinfectant spray in a cool, dark place for future use. Shake well before each use to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed in the mixture.
Enjoy a clean and fresh home using these natural garden herbs that double as disinfectants. Your home will thank you, and so will the environment! 🌿✨
