FAQ:
1. Can I use this cleaner on all surfaces?
This cleaner works great on most non-porous surfaces, such as countertops, sinks, and glass. However, it's best to avoid using it on natural stone surfaces like granite, as vinegar can damage the finish. For delicate or unfinished surfaces, it’s always a good idea to test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.
2. Can I substitute the lemon essential oil with another scent?
Absolutely! While lemon oil gives this cleaner a fresh, uplifting scent, you can swap it out for another essential oil you love. Try lavender, tea tree, or eucalyptus for a different fragrance and added benefits.
3. How long will this cleaner last?
Since this cleaner doesn’t contain any harsh preservatives, it’s best to use it within 2-3 months. Be sure to shake the bottle before each use to mix the ingredients properly.
4. Is it safe for pets and kids?
Yes, this DIY cleaner is made with non-toxic, natural ingredients, making it a safe option for homes with pets and kids. However, always store it out of reach to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.
