The 4 Key Ingredients you’ll require are:

  • Dish Soap – neutral PH – gentle and safe on essentially every surface and a mild soap that can lift off dirt and grime
  • Rubbing alcohol – at least 65% USP in order for it to qualify as a disinfectant, can be mixed with water
  • Hydrogen Peroxide – naturally occurring bleach, used in Oxy powders. Uses oxygen to break bonds between dirt and bacteria and the surface they are on. A great disinfectant, stain remover and natural whitener.
