Why to Use Tea Tree Oil for Cleaning:

Tea Tree Oil is a natural antiseptic, distilled from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, native to the coastal regions of northern New South Wales and south eastern Queensland, Australia.

It is a 100% pure, 100% natural oil and a powerful antiseptic which inhibits a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi. That makes it the perfect base for a natural, non-toxic cleaner able to clean up to 99.9% of household germs.
