Recently with the new virus going around it has been hard to find lysol and the wipes.
With the regular cold and flu I recommend using at least 70% rubbing alcohol.
However with the new virus I would buy a higher amount if you can. I have bought this 99% alcohol on Amazon.
Mixing Up The Homemade Disinfecting Spray
To start, add 1 and 1/2 cups of rubbing alcohol to the spray bottle. Then, add in 3/4 cup of water.
Finally, add in 15 drops of lemon essential oil followed by 15 drops of lavender essential oil. Screw on the spray bottle top and give a good shake. That’s all you need to make the homemade lysol.
