I am looking for some type of spray or wipe that wouldn't require a rinsing after use. I want to be able to wipe down any toys, surfaces (like the highchair tray), or anything else that may come in direct contact with DD's mouth.
What do you use for this purpose?

I did a search and found a post about using tea tree oil, lavender and vinegar. It seems that something like that would be good for what I am looking for but does anyone have the "recipe" for this? ( I didn't even know you could clean with just those ingredients! However, I do get most of my cleaning education from ads - not the best source of info I know!)

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Are you specifically looking for something to 'brew' at home or are you OK with something you buy off the shelf?

I love the Clorox Anywhere spray. I use it all the time. Doesn't smell 'bleachy', either.

Thanks! Off the shelf would be better, actually. I'm not a big do-it-yourselfer but I would be willing to try something out if there wasn't a ready-made option.

I use 1 part lemon juice to 4 parts water for everything you described. It's been working great. I got it from this video.

Around here we use plain old white vinegar, either by itself or watered-down in a spray bottle.

Also a fan of a 50/50 vinegar water spray. Use it for almost everything.
