    What would happen if you added isopropyl alcohol to help try to kill the Covid virus?

      I’ve seen other screen cleaners that use equal parts vinegar and isopropyl alcohol so I’d say give it a try!

    Since you can’t buy essential oils by the drop, I opted to zest a lime into vinegar/ water solution , set over night to allow the vinegar to leach out the lime oil, then strained through chinois to remove zest

    Would we be able to use Lemon Essential Oil instead of Lime?

    When it comes to wiping my phone screen clean and trying to make it look sparkling again, I have a tendency to either wipe it on my shirt, or use a fast food napkin and wipe it clean without any kind of solution. It’s been years since I had good smelling oil in my possession. I miss those days of smelling good oil from the oil and incense stand. I always wondered if using a tid bit of water or any kind of solution on the phone screen would possibly distort any of the features. Maybe I should give it a try and see if it works on my phone. 🙂
