Disinfecting Laundry, Cleaning with Oils

LAUNDRY- Luke woke up puking, so I put bath towels on my chest and he laid on me, so I needed to disinfect the towels he puked on. The Great thing is that there are alot of options to kill sick bugs.

The Ideas below are from- How To Clean Stuff, looks like most of these suggestions are added to the beginning hot wash cycle, can add at the end rinse cycle for an extra kick

1.  Bleach
2. 2 t, Tea tree oil is effective in disinfecting
3.  10 drops, Lavender oil is antibacterial and antiseptic, as well as antifungal. 
4.  1 t, Thyme oil is a powerful disinfectant known to kill E. coli and MRSA, and is also an antifungal
5.  Lysol Laundry Sanitizer
6. Defense Super Shield Laundry Additive
7. To use white vinegar, add 1 cup of it to the rinse cycle. This is very effective for killing bacteria, and will also help to deodorize laundry 
8. hydrogen peroxide, add 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the wash.

Brooke Prothero said she has used at the beginning of the wash cycle-

1. Essential oils- deliverance, cinnamon, lavender, orange
2. Dawn dish detergent to degrease to washing machine and oily/sweaty sheets
3. Baking soda to deoderize

SPRAY BOTTLE DISINFECTING- Brooke Prothero

She sometimes adds 10% rubbing alcohol or 10% hydrogen peroxide to 90% water
1. Smaller water bottle- 20 drops of oil
2. Big regular cleaning spray bottle- 50 drops

She uses deliverance, SpiceC, thyme, oregano and/or pine
