Notes
- The shelf life of homemade cleaning solutions can vary depending on the ingredients used. For this recipe containing hydrogen peroxide, water, castile soap, and essential oils, it's best to use it within a few weeks to a month for optimal effectiveness. Over time, the potency of the ingredients may diminish, particularly the hydrogen peroxide, which can lose its efficacy when exposed to light and air. To limit exposure to light, store your granite cleaner in an amber glass bottle in a cool, dark place to prolong its shelf life. Always check for any signs of spoilage, such as a change in color or odor, and discard if the solution appears compromised.
