Homemade Cleaners
Hand Sanitizer– We’ve used approx 2 to 1 alcohol to aloe content and mixed the combination with a nutribullet to blend
Bar Soap– We use a crockpot and our favorite essential oils so far are a Wellness Mama recommendation, combo of lavender and orange oil

Disinfecting Wipes– This is one we haven’t tried yet. But I’ve seen people using paper towels, coffee filters, etc
