A home, however it is cleaned, has hidden germs that cause illnesses from mild allergy to a major disease. It is necessary to disinfect counters and other surfaces, regularly to keep the germs away. Buying a disinfectant spray can be expensive. (or, unavailable) Thus, people avoid buying them regularly and look for less expensive options, such as making them at home. It solves a problem that many of us face during this time.

Different areas of the home need different kinds of disinfectants. For example, a kitchen surface needs a different disinfectant than bathroom tiles or tubs. Here are a few easy to make recipes to make disinfectant sprays using the products available in all homes:

Spray 1

Items needed

- Hydrogen Peroxide (3 % Solution)
- Spray Bottle (1)

Method of Preparation -

1. Since hydrogen peroxide is available in a bottle, it is best to leave it in the bottle and replace the cap with a spray nozzle. (If you do pour into spray bottle, DO NOT combine with vinegar, or any other cleaners, in same bottle) Surfaces can be sprayed with a separate vinegar solution, AFTER using hydrogen peroxide. (See Spray 3 below)


The disinfectant is ready. Spray surfaces with the hydrogen peroxide solution and let dry.
