The aroma might be strong, but that’s exactly what makes this remedy work so well.
Step 2: Mix Detergent and Alcohol (or Vinegar)
In a separate bowl, mix:
- 1 cup liquid dish detergent
- 2 cups of either ethyl alcohol or apple cider vinegar
Stir the mixture until it’s fully blended. The detergent helps the spray cling to surfaces, while the alcohol or vinegar acts as a natural deterrent for pests.
Step 3: Combine and Mix
Once your clove water has cooled, strain out the cloves and pour the infused liquid into the detergent and vinegar/alcohol mixture.
Stir thoroughly until the solution is smooth and even.
