The 3 Essential Oils You NEED This Spring!
Make spring cleaning an easier and more pleasant experience with the help of these 3 oils!
Many people don't realize that essential oils can do so much more than just diffuse a wonderful aroma. They have many purposes beyond self use. Read on to learn how you can easily achieve a fresh and clean home with oils!
1. Lemon
This seems very obvious, but it is definitely one of the best choices for a fresh scent and clean house.
Uses:
Make a Chemical-Free Bleach- Mix 4 cups of water, 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide, 10 drops of Lemon Essential Oil in a glass bottle and spray on tough to clean surfaces! For best results, spray the "bleach" and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before wiping away.
(No plastic containers, Lemon is a hot oil and will ruin the container)
All-Natural Pledge Dusting Spray- Mix 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of white distilled vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 15 drops of Lemon Essential Oil in a glass bottle and spray to dust furniture! Feel free to add another oil in addition to the lemon if you would like a different scent to your spray.
2. Purification
The perfect deodorizer and multi-purpose cleaning oil.
Uses:
Easy Natural Febreeze- In an 8oz spray bottle, combine 1 cup of water with approx. 20 drops of Purification (add gradually until you are satifsfied with the strength of the scent).
Dishwasher Detergent- In a container, combine 1/2 cup of baking soda, 1/2 cup of borax, 1/8 cup of citric acid, and 25 drops of Purification Essential Oil. Store in a glass jar.
3. Thieves
My all-time favorite oil! Amazing smell and so great for cleaning anything around the house, including your pups.
Uses:
Household cleaner- In an 8oz spray bottle, combine 1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon each of castile soap and distilled white vinegar, and 8 drops of Thieves Essential Oil.
Shake to combine and use to clean off counters, shelves, bathroom sinks, etc.
Homemade Hand Sanitizer- In a small squeeze bottle (like ones you would find in the travel section) combine 3 tablespoons of Organic Aloe Vera Gel, 1/4 teaspoon of Vitamin E Oil, and 10 drops of Thieves Essential Oil. Use as needed for a great smelling disinfectant.
