DIY RECIPE OF THE MONTH

Shaking out the cobwebs and organizing living spaces seems to be a priority with so much time at home. Speaking of home, our Organic Alcohols has many uses, including general household cleaning.

We have been showcasing the sanitizing properties of high-proof alcohol to help keep your home cleaner and safer. It's easy to make a general cleaning spray at a more diluted proof. This is the perfect everyday cleaning solution. I have replaced many of my surface cleaners with this mix, although be careful when using on varnishes and certain finishes (ex. woods, granite), as alcohol and certain oils can cause damage. This mixture works great to give a spotless shine to glass and other hard surfaces, and my favorite, windows (it really makes them sparkle). Time to let the light shine in!

I change up the oils I use depending on the season. Right now a home-distilled Rosemary, or classic Lemon essential oil give my space a nice fresh pick-me-up.
