How to make your own homemade daily shower spray

This is all you need to make your own Daily Shower Spray

Spraying your shower down with daily shower spray, like this one from Tilex, is a great way to keep your shower looking, feeling, and smelling great in between deep cleanings.  But it's not cheap!  One 32 oz. bottle can cost over $3, and it will only last for a week or two at the most!  For just a few dollars more, you can purchase the ingredients to make many gallons of daily shower cleaner.  Click below to read more.

32 oz bottle of Tilex is $3.39 at Super G

With just a handful of ingredients, most of which you may already have on hand, you can make this homemade spray too.  In my opinion, this spray works as good or better than commercial sprays, and leaves the shower free from soap scum.

Thyme oil, a known antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral agent, along with Peppermint oil, a known antibacterial and antiviral agent, work together to produce a powerful cleaner that smells minty and fresh.

As you're getting your supplies together, keep in mind that this recipe is for 1 gallon of shower spray.  You can, of course, keep it in the container of your choice, or you can do like I did and repurpose a one gallon glass jug that apple juice came in.  Generally speaking I prefer storing in glass whenever possible.

That said, do yourself a favor, and purchase one bottle of Tilex so you can get the spray bottle it comes in.  This bottle has a channel in the front (see photo, below) that allows you to spray down to the last drop.  You can refill it as many times as you want with your own cleaner after that.

Special spray bottle - sprays to the last drop!
