Last note before I end off with this shower spray…
Try to keep this spray away from the light or store it in the bathroom cabinet to prevent the hydrogen peroxide from breaking down.
Otherwise, you may use a dark-colored bottle to block the light.

Homemade Cleaning Spray Recipe
- 10 fluid oz of Original Blue Dawn dish detergent
- 18 fluid oz of White distilled vinegar
- 3 ml essential oil or essential oil blend, of choice (optional)
Combine the ingredients for this shower cleaner with Dawn and vinegar in a 28 oz. spray bottle then, shake to combine.
How to use it?
Spray on shower walls and tub or other surfaces you want to clean. Cover the area fully, then allow the homemade shower cleaner to sit for 30 minutes.
Finish off by wiping with a damp sponge then rinse clean. No scrub that easy!
Personally, I would combine 2-3 different essential oil for a combination of smell and anti-fungal properties.
I use an equal amount of lavender, peppermint, and tea tree oil.
In short, pick the essential oil that you love and pair it up with tea tree oil to get the best of both worlds.
