In reply to Shelley Mogel. Hi Shelley ... I'd recommend Biokleen Bac-Out Bathroom Cleaner.

Is there a commercial grade disinfectant that can be used in toilets that you consider to be safe, effective and non-allergic? (I am allergic to citrus and all sorts of other smells.) I work for a large fitness facility and have had their recently installed automatic chemical dispensers removed-but only in one bathroom so far, after staff complained. i am working to find a better product. Thank you!

Does the home made bathroom cleaner have any other liquid ingredients than what is listed? It says it makes 16 oz but with those ingredients listed I can’t see how that would be possible. Thank you.

Do you have to make this up every time you want to clean the bathroom? Or can you make up a batch, put it in the bottle, and store it in the cabinet, using each time you clean until it’s gone before making it again?

In reply to Keythong.

Well. It is for growing boys, still in puberty, however, they imply Chemicals in such oils, thus, What are those chemicals? Not once did the article specify actual lavender or tree tea oil. Are they suggesting there is a chemical reaction with specific products, and if so, what are they? I find the article broad and grey. Good read, however grey. Lavender is comprised of over 100 constituents, including linalool, perillyl alcohol, linalyl acetate, camphor, limonene, tannins, triterpenes, coumarins3,4,5, cineole, and flavonoids. Analgesic effects: Based on human study, lavender oil may have analgesic effects for pain reduction. Lu Hui

I find it hard to read into that article with very little elaborated information.

In reply to Susana. That's what I thought too. I also thought you can't mix castile soap (base) with vinegar (acid).

How ironic mentioning endrocrine disruptors, then WTF suggesting Tea Tree Oil as an alternative, when it is a suspected endrocrine disruptor for males, like Lavender, so should not be used at all around/by males… I found stinky Tea Tree Oil useless as an antiseptic, so I stopped using it, and mounting evidence, like below, mean I reject all stuff containing it.

“A new study lends further evidence to a suspected link between abnormal breast growth in young boys — called prepubertal gynecomastia — and regular exposure to lavender or tea tree oil, by finding that key chemicals in these common plant-derived oils act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals. “

Baking soda and vinegar together? Don’t they neutralize each other?

What is the difference between your other recipe Homemade Melaleuca Lemon Household Cleaner and this one? I would like to use the one that has less ingredients. Actually a multi purpose cleaning recipe would be amazing! And a list of specifics to use the cleaner on, such and counter tops, stove tops, bathrooms, tile floors. Thanks any information is appreciated. You have so much to cipher through i keep get lost in all your pages and distracted lol.
