Hey Everyone!

Get your bathroom spic-n-span with everyday ingredients that you already have on hand. No need to buy special cleansers, or special ingredients...everything is already in your home!

You can also add essential oils for a health-boosting aromatherapy experience. I have added my suggestions below each hint.

Cleaning Without Chemicals
Great For The Environment
And Works Better Than Paper Towels

Hint 1:

Nix Mold and Mildew

Let's call this the 'MILDEW PREVENTION SPRAY'!

Steep 2 orange rinds in 1 quart of vinegar for 3 hours. Discard the rinds, and add 2 tbs. of rubbing alcohol.

Pour into spray bottle once it's cooled, and spritz shower daily.

Spa Boost: Add 10 - 15 drops of lemon essential oil. The antiseptic doubles as an energy booster.

Hint 2:

Get Glass Sparkling With A Quick-Dry Spray

Say 'bye bye' to streaky mirrors...

What you need
2 c. water
2 tbs. vinegar
2 tbs. rubbing alcohol
1 spray bottle

Mix ingredients above together in a spray bottle.

Spritz on glass and wipe. The fast-drying formula won't leave any residue behind.

Spa boost: Add 4-5 drops of peppermint essential oil. It helps disinfect surfaces, plus the scent improves memory and concentration.
