This DIY antibacterial spray with essential oils is an easy, natural cleaning product that can be made in less than 5 minutes with an empty spray bottle and handful of ingredients.
I keep this DIY antibacterial spray on hand in the kitchen to use as a finishing spray after I wipe the counters down with natural disinfectant wipes.
The spray also comes in handy for door knobs and frequently touched areas during times of illness throughout the year.
