I don’t know about you, but for us we do not regularly get around to detailing the interior of our vehicles. Having the ingredients on hand that I can quickly make a solution to clean the car with, at home, makes the chore so simple. Making homemade solution saves you money and keeps your car in tip top shape while fighting off bacteria that is often brought into our vehicles.
It is Spring time when I am writing this post and I have cleaning on my mind as I’m waiting for gardening season to begin (well, I have some pre-gardening stuff going on but it’s not in full swing just yet). That time of year where layers of dust come off of every surface is just so refreshing. I feel so productive when I get on a cleaning kick.
Our vehicles often get neglected, well because I’m busy and there are more important things that demand my time. This is something I hope to get around to doing more often in the future.
Utilizing Essential Oils whenever we can in and around our home helps minimize the bacteria entering our home and bodies. It’s so important to me to have a natural option that I can trust to get the tough cleaning jobs done around the house. I can always count on my CPTG Essential Oils for this. In our home we utilize the oils daily for health and wellness in and around our home. We rely on them even more during sick season with the sick protocol we do to clear up any illness we catch.
I am a Wellness Advocate for doTERRA because I’ve seen the power of their products. I will never use another Essential Oil company’s product. This is because doTERRA’s promise to purity is unmatched.

Dilution
You will want to consider your vehicles interior when following this recipe and dilute accordingly. I have leather seats in my vehicle so I dilute this solution to use 1/2 the solution in an extra 1/2 gallon of water, to protect the interior. Essential Oils, when CPTG, are very powerful.. They are all natural and safe to use, just proceed with discernment for your vehicle as you follow this recipe.
