The beauty of essential oils is you have a bit of flexibility. The vinegar will contribute to the cleaning qualities of your cleaner so I would not omit that. The water and vinegar is your foundational cleaner and the oils you add are like the frosting on the cake. They add more anti-bacterial qualities (anti-fungal in the case of tea tree oil) and pure clean fragrance. I also would not add more that 10-20 drops of total oil to a gallon of water and vinegar for floors and general cleaning. Any more than that is really wasting the oils. If I wipe out my bathtub with baking soda and and a wet washcloth, I may only use 1-3 drops of oil per cleaning. 8-10 drops of oil should be sufficient for a 16 oz spray bottle of vinegar and water, any more is just excessive. Essential oils are powerful and potent so capitalize on that benefit and you'll extend your investment! Great questions on quantities Colleen.
