It was easy and cheap – one bottle cost about $4 to make, and I have enough supplies to make at least 10 more bottles for pennies more. Here’s how it worked:

1. Buy a small spray pump bottle at your local pharmacy or drug store (cost: about $1)

2. Buy a combination of essential oils: grapefruit seed extract, geranium, Young Living Theives,thyme, oregano oil, cinnamon, lavender, etc.

3. Combine 20-30 drops of each oil (I used grapefruit seed and geranium in one, Theives in another) and fill the rest of the bottle with water.

4. Stick a bottle in your purse, diaper bag, stroller, car, etc. Spray 2-4 times on one hand and rub together to disinfect. 

5. Refill when empty.
