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.

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!

Romertopf Bread: The easiest loaf of bread you'll ever make.

Romertopf White Bread: The easiest loaf of bread you'll ever make! Clay pots or earthen-ware may be the oldest type of cookware ever found. In fact, they've been unearthed by archaeologists at historic sites all over the world! We know that these ancient civilizations put these clay pots in the glowing embers of fires, and used them to bake, roast, poach, and braise all sorts of meals. I admit that I'm new to clay pot cooking. My mother-in-law gave me a beautiful covered Romertopf roaster for Christmas and when I started learning about how to use it, all I could think about was bread . I make a lot of bread in my oven, but I was incredibly excited to try it in a clay pot! After all, I reasoned, this would have to be as close to an authentic brick oven as I was likely to get, and I couldn't wait to get started. The basic bread recipe, which was included with my cookware, was the first one I tried. Because you soak both p...

Pumpkin Pie with Vanilla in Jim Beam Black Bourbon

Pumpkin Pie with Vanilla in Jim Beam Black Bourbon When I was a child, I remember laughing with my family whenever the subject of my grandmother's pumpkin pies came up. You see, she would add a bit of whiskey to her pumpkin filling, and was convinced that it made the taste smoother and evened out any bitterness that the canned pumpkin might have. What made us laugh was imagining this tiny, sweet white-haired woman drinking shots of whiskey as she baked. Of course, that never happened...at least I'm pretty sure it didn't. As I grew up I continued the tradition of adding whiskey to my own pies, and found that I preferred this recipe to other versions of pumpkin pie by far. This Thanksgiving, I took that concept and added a little twist to it. Homemade vanilla extract using vodka, spiced rum, and bourbon Earlier this year, I made up three batches of homemade vanilla extract using Medagascar Vanilla Beans. Each batch was extract...

Delaware Chicken and Slippery Dumplings

Chicken and Slippery Dumplings Dumplings. The word can be traced back to the 1600's in print, but was surely around long before that! While there are many different techniques for making dumplings, their purpose was obvious. They were invented solely to fill hungry bellies cheaply. The fact that they're still around is just a testimony to how tasty they are. In fact, every country in the world has some kind of dumpling as part of it's cuisine. From Afrikan Fufu to Scandinavian Klubb, these meals all consist of rolling or dropping some type of starchy dough into some boiling liquid. Click below to read more.
