Cleaners D-I-Y clean and disinfect without chemicals
1 Cup water+ 3/4 C of vinegar (cleaning vinegar works great- higher acid %)= 1/2- 1 tsp of Borax, 1Tbl alchohol (basic combo) to this add up to  13 drops of essential oils
Allergies/Disinfection Lemon5  Lavender 3 Peppermint 4
Kitchen   Lemongrass3 Grapefruit 6  Tea Tree 4 (sometimes citrus oils can stain; be aware and test your surfaces
Bathroom Eucalyptus 3 Spearmint 2 Peppermint 5 tea tree
to fill a 26 oz bottle 2 C water+ 1 1/2 C vinegar+ 12 t of Borax+ 2T of alcohol (26 drops total of essential oils)
As a floor cleaner keep the water and vinegar proportions the same (1 to 1/2) increase the borax from 1/16th of the water to 1/3-1/4 of water content, do not increase alcohol and or total of essential oils. If you are washing by hand use gloves as essential oils can irritate skin. Wash any mopheads with soapy water afterwards, they can break down any sponge type mophead, they are more sturdy with a rope mophead and can be washed in the washing machine afterwards so it's a good combination.

please share any combos you have tried
