I don’t know about you, but I’m always a little paranoid about spreading germs around my kitchen when I cut red meat or chicken on a cutting board on the counter. Even after I wipe down the counters thoroughly, I still wonder if there are germs lurking there!
This orange spray helps give me peace of mind knowing that the counter, sink, and cutting boards are disinfected! As I mentioned in this post, orange essential oil is antimicrobial, it inhibits the growth of bacteria such as E. Coli, and it can reduce foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella.
Orange essential oil is very affordable, so this counter spray is extremely economical!
DIY Orange Counter Top Spray

Fill the bottle halfway with water, then fill almost to the top with vinegar. Add 5-10 drops of orange essential oil (I used 5 for this size bottle). Shake well.
Spray on counters, sink, cutting boards, and anywhere you want to disinfect!
