How to Make Homemade Lysol Disinfectant Spray

Posted In: Homemaking

If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that disinfecting our homes on a regular basis is so important. 

The thing is, most disinfectants can be harmful for our family, pets, and the environment. 

My favorite disinfectant spray happens to be Lysol because it’s the only cleaning brand that doesn’t smell super strong. But it still gives me a mild headache when I use it. 

Why make a DIY Disinfectant Spray?

When it was hard to find hand sanitizers on store shelves during the pandemic, many people began making their own. 

That made me wonder if it was possible to make a Lysol alternative at home too!

Come to find out, making your own disinfectant spray is a lot cheaper than buying it. And you’ll never have to worry about running out!  

How to Disinfect Without Lysol

After doing some research, I put together a recipe using ingredients the WHO recommends for regular household cleaning and disinfecting. 

Here’s everything you will need:

  • 16oz glass spray bottle 
  • Funnel 
  • Measuring cup
  • 1 ½ cup isopropyl alcohol (at least 70%)
  • ¼ distilled water 
  • 15 drops tea tree essential oil
  • 15 drops lavender essential oil
  • 15 drops lemon essential oil

How to Make A DIY Disinfectant Spray

Using a funnel, pour the alcohol into the glass spray bottle. Then add water and essential oil in the above order. Shake to combine ingredients.

Where to Use Your Homemade Lysol

You can use your homemade Lysol to disinfect many areas of your home: light switches, door knobs, countertops, bathroom toilets & sinks, remotes, electronic devices, and other commonly used surfaces to reduce the amount of germs.

I have to admit, the alcohol smell is kind of strong but I’ll take inhaling that over bleach ANY day. It doesn’t give me a headache or make my chest hurt.

Simply spray directly onto surfaces and allow it to air dry or spray onto a clean, dry microfiber cloth and wipe visible dirt.

I had the house to myself for a couple hours so I I had the house to myself for a couple hours so I started dinner, ate alone, and got some cleaning done. Ryheem hates the taste of store-bought sloppy joe sauce so I started making my own. And let me tell you, homemade sloppy joes is way better 😋 

All you need is 1 cup ketchup, 1 cup barbecue sauce, 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce, and (this is optional) 1/4 cup brown sugar. Try it and let me know what you think!!
