Let's be clear about one thing.
Cleaning with vinegar makes your house smell like vinegar. Not prelapsarian freshness. Not naturally clean. Vinegar.

I agree. Although I had to look up "prelapsarian." :D
For prelapsarian, you infuse the vinegar with orange peels before using. Or balsam needles, maybe. Or, like, nail clippings from a newborn. Try that.
lavender oil.
if you're into that sort of thing.
You're dreaming. You're having the dream of your life. Boy, are you so happy right now.
On the other hand, I did try adding lavender oil to vinegar for awhile, back when I did more than spit-clean my floors. It smelled like slightly more expensive vinegar. BUT! My floors were sooooo shiny.
I think any acid would do. I have some cresylic acid in the garage. Why didn't you ask?
We must remain vigilant, as prelapsarian household remedies crouch at the door.
I would never use any acid or chemical in my HOME.
Go ahead and fill your home with toxins, rebekah.
I'll be bathing in patchouli.
I'm telling you, spit is the answer. It's acidic. It's all-natural. It smells funny.
And since spit is also a bodily fluid, would it have cancelling properties? Like if I used it to clean up where the toddler just peed all the way across the kitchen and down the hall, they would cancel each other out? And maybe if I enlist everyone who's home we can come up with the 20+ feet of spit required for the job?
Well if we're going hippie I make mine w/ 50/50 vinegar water then add 1/4 tsp of either soap nut liquid or shaklee H2 soap then 25 drops of grapefruit seed extract (kills everything :) I also add either lavender oil, grapefruit oil, or orange oil. But I like mixing non chemical chemicals. My husband likes to tease me about how my cart looks when I'm checking out with supplies to make homemade cleaning stuff.
Guys, seriously. Get these toxins and chemicals off my blog.
