We often go to the park to play and there's no soap there, so we rely on hand sanitizer in those instances. This is much better.

I've been buying the EO natural hand sanitizer, but this will be much cheaper. I hope you are all on the mend soon! Thank you for the recipe!

I may have lots of questions ;-)) As I looked at the ingredients for the hand sanitizer ... do you think that an added amount of alcohol would be necessary to effectively kill bacteria (cold and flu)? I'd love to switch to this recipe! Me again, I hope you read your comments. I may have lots of questions ;-))

And, PLEASE do post how you make your own dryer bags + recipes. Your blog is fabulous! I'm so glad I stumbled across it while searching for natural recipes for sanitizing (such as baby toys - I have a 10 month old). I see parents all the time saying ... oh use some kitchen bleach cleaner or dip them in bleach water. Seems wrong to be trading one germ/bacteria for toxins. I use the hydrogen peroxide with vinegar now. Thanks!! Sorry you have a sick household!

I've bought Clean George in the past (which uses tea tree as well) but your recipe would be much cheaper over the long run. Thanks so much!

We're just getting over sickness as well (started right at Valentine's day). Our biggest remedy is Elderberry Concentrate. We're lucky enough to have a local producer and it kicks all kinds of sick butt! I'd like to hear about your dryer bags too! I also made homemade chicken soup ~ (with our naughty roosters) and homemade bread. Not sure how much the bread helps with our immune systems but the smell sure makes me feel better. :) I never really thought about how sickness coincides with candy ~ but now that I think about it I think you might be on to something!

My husband and I have had bouts of yuckiness as well and like your husband, I love to make honey, lemon, and ginger teal! I use homeopathic cough and cold medicine for the kids and I make green smoothies every day - I think the bugs would've been even worse if we hadn't been chugging the smoothies a few times every day. I push garlic as well. I love that DIY hand cleanser - will try it for sure.
