An EPA survey concluded that indoor air was 3 to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air. Another EPA study stated that the toxic chemicals in household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air. Whoa, I don’t know about you but that statistic just stopped me in my tracts and made me all the more passionate about sharing with you my DIY Non-Toxic Essential Oil Lysol Spray!
An added bonus is that you will save money too! Onguard essential oil costs only $.13 a drop.

A BIG thank you to Moriah Doran for sharing her Homeschool Science Project results with me! As you can see, Lysol grew all sorts of mold, mildew, and bacteria while onGuard never did! If you won’t take a Science Project Experiment as proof you can check out Vanderbilt University’s OnGuard Study against Influenza.
