natural cleaner

The queen of clean I am not. My mother is and I didn't inherit those genes. I do however like for things to be moderately clean and since I've never found a way to keep the kitties off the counters I want something that will attack germs.  Did I mention I want it to be natural too.  This stuff really works.
Fill a 20oz squirt bottle 1/2 full of vinegar, or you can use 1/2 vinegar, 1/2 rubbing alcohol.  You can reclycle a bottle or buy one at the dollar store.  Fill the bottle the rest of the way with water.  Add a couple of drops of liquid dish soap and food coloring.  Add 20 drops of tea tree oil, lemon oil or lavender oil.  They are all antibacterial.  The color is just a safety thing so nobody thinks it's just water and spray's you favorite plants with it(this can happen, I know).
Shake it up spray and wipe.  Were talking about less than .25 for a whole bottle of natural cleaner vs $3-4.
