  • 2 tablespoons borax
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 20 drops tea tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
  1. Combine the borax and lemon juice with the water in a spray bottle. Cap and shake well to dissolve the mineral.
  2. Add the tea tree oil and shake again to disperse the oil. Use as you would any commercial all-purpose cleaner.
