Quick Answer
Mix 1 tablespoon of doTERRA On Guard Cleaner Concentrate with 16 ounces of water in a spray bottle for a powerful all-purpose cleaner. Shake gently and use on hard, non-porous surfaces.
Why Dilution Matters
Using the correct dilution ratio is critical. Too much concentrate can leave a sticky residue, while too little may not clean effectively. The concentrated formula is designed to be diluted, so always follow the recommended ratio for best results.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Gather Supplies: You will need a clean 16-ounce spray bottle, water, and doTERRA On Guard Cleaner Concentrate. A funnel helps avoid spills. Do not use a bottle that previously held harsh chemicals; residues can react with the concentrate.
- Measure the Concentrate: Pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the concentrate into the spray bottle. Use a dedicated measuring spoon to avoid cross-contamination. Avoid over-pouring—extra concentrate won't boost cleaning power and may leave residue.
- Add Water and Mix: Fill the rest of the bottle with water, leaving a little space at the top. Screw on the nozzle and shake gently to mix. Do not shake vigorously to avoid excessive foam. Always add water after the concentrate to ensure proper dilution; shaking too hard can create foam that reduces spray effectiveness.
- Label and Store: Write the contents and date on the bottle with a permanent marker. Store out of direct sunlight and away from children. Use within 30 days for best potency. Unlabeled bottles can be mistaken for other cleaners; always label clearly to avoid misuse.
