I love the idea of boiling water and using thyme. I use lavender and lemon essential oils with baking soda and borax. I also put the mixture in a spray bottle so I can spray the cleaner evenly and I don't waste any. I agree on using a spray bottle for laminate flooring because too much moisture will ruin the floor after numerous washings. I love the idea of going green, knowing there are no harmful chemicals laying around in my home and enjoying the scents of lemon and lavender.

I hate how many chemicals are in shop bought cleaning products and I'm glad I've wised up to 'greener'and potentially safer alternatives! That’s very true.

Everything from dish detergent to toilet bowl cleaner to laundry detergent. Make it naturally, save money, and have a "greener" household.
