Our aromatherapist working on this DIY wanted to call these our, “Boss-$@& Cleaning Sprays”. We decided maybe we should be a bit more kid-friendly and, “Forest Fresh Cleaning Spray and Window Cleaner” was the result. But as far as DIY cleaners go, these ones truly are “boss”.
With so many of us stuck inside nowadays, the outdoorsy fragrances of Pine, Tea Tree, Fir Needle, Lavender, and Black Spruce can really spruce up your living/workspace. Use these cleaning sprays to bring the fresh scent of the forest indoors!

With this working-from-home lifestyle, your desks and counters might be collecting coffee rings and wine splatters at a much higher rate than usual. If you have kids stuck at home, you might really be looking for alternative means to get things clean. With Black Spruce , Pine, Lemon, and Tea Tree essential oils, this cleaning spray will do the job and leave your house smelling fantastically fresh.

*If you don’t have Sal Suds or can’t find it at your local health food store, you can substitute it for your favorite dish soap.
