Instructions:
Step 1: Thoroughly clean your spray bottle.
Step 2: Add olive oil and vinegar/lemon juice to the spray bottle. Carefully add the essential oil; you don’t want to add too much of these potent oils, as they can impact your pets if used in too high a concentration. In fact, some are actually toxic to pets: Avoid peppermint, lemon (lemon juice is okay), lavender, tea tree, cinnamon bark, and wintergreen oil. If you are concerned, just forego the essential oil altogether.
Step 3: Shake well before each use. With a damp mop, sparingly spritz the area you want to polish and mop as usual, rinsing out your mop periodically to remove dust and dirt.
