I've not actually sent the order yet as I'm trying to decide between what's essential and what's luxury
Funnily enough I got their summer catalogue through the post this morning so I'll have a browse through that later too

Boil and cool some water (enough to fill a spray bottle the size of ready-made anti bac spray).
Add a few drops of neat alcohol (I use Tesco value gin) and another few drops of tea tree oil.
That's it! Effective and nice smelling too.0 -

I don't use a spray, but I keep my dishcloth in a shallow tub with a bleach/washing up liquid solution. A little squirt of both in a half pint of hot water.
I empty it if it gets discoloured or at the end of the day, as I think the bleach gradually becomes inactive. Added bonus - your actual cloth is clean so you aren't transferring germs from one surface to another."Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.0 -
White vinegar is a natural disinfectant and I have used it for many yearsBlessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
