Tips to Serve and Keep:
Store the mixture in a cool, dark place to preserve the potency of the essential oils.
Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure all ingredients are properly mixed.
Use a microfiber cloth for the best shine, as it helps trap dirt without leaving streaks.
For tough stains or grease, let the cleaner sit for a few minutes before wiping.
Always test on an inconspicuous surface first to ensure compatibility with your home’s materials.
