Safety Considerations
When you make and use this disinfectant spray at home, safety is key. Make sure the room has plenty of air flowing through. This is very important, especially if your mix has alcohol. Too much of the fumes can make you feel uncomfortable. Keep the spray away from your eyes and skin. And, always put it in a place that’s hard for kids or pets to get to. Some things to remember: don’t use this spray on marble or granite. It might leave marks. Clean the area well before you disinfect. This helps the spray do its job better. Are you or someone in your home living with asthma? Using any disinfectant can be harder on the lungs. So always be careful. Wear gloves that can protect your hands from chemicals. This simple step can lower the chance of getting sick from using strong cleaning stuff. Tried this recipe?We want to see! Tag @homesteadingfamily on Instagram.
