Use essential oils that please your senses and at the same time deep
clean your home. Essential oils are ideal cleaning supplies. They
remove toxic mold, stale air, unpleasant odors, and kill viruses,
bacteria and dust mites.
Imagine
your kitchen pleasing with the smell of lemon, grapefruit, cinnamon,
or rosemary. Your living room inviting with fragrant cushions of
peppermint - a natural insect repellant. And pine, cedar wood,
sandalwood, frankincense, juniper and clary sage are relaxing companions
in your sitting room.
For a calming and romantic environment in the bedroom, choose rose,
ylang ylang, jasmine, geranium, and lavender. Scent your office with
basil, rosemary, and lavender for concentration. And don't forget to
scent the pet pillow with flea deterring lavender and peppermint.
HERE ARE A FEW PLACES IN THE HOME YOU CAN USE THEM:
Dishwasher:
A few drops of oil may be added to the dishwasher to help disinfect and
purify. Some popular oils are pine, orange, tangerine, lemon, and
peppermint.
Vacuum Cleaner:
You may also saturate a disposable cloth or tissue with several drops of
essential oil and place it into the collecting bag of your vacuum. This
will diffuse a pleasant odor as you clean.
If your vacuum collects dirt into water, simply add a few drops into the
water reservoir before cleaning. This refreshes both, the carpet and
the room.
In the Dryer:
Instead of using toxic and irritating softening sheets in your
dryer,
place a washcloth dampened with 10 drops of lavender, lemon,
melaleuca, bergamot, or another essential oils. While the oils will not
reduce static cling, they will impart a distinctive fragrance to your
clothes.
Painting:
When painting, add a 5 ml bottle of your favorite essential oil such as
White Angelica, Abundance, or Sacred Mountain, to 1 gallon of paint.
Mix well. The oil will counteract the unpleasant smell of paint.
Because essential oils are not fatty oils, they will not leave oil
spots on the wall.
Deodorizing: Kitchen and Bathrooms, etc.
The kitchen and bathroom are often a source of odors and bacteria. use
the following mixtures to freshen, deodorize, and disinfect the air,
work areas, cupboards, bathroom fixtures, sinks, tiles, woodwork,
carpets, etc. These blends are safe for the family and for the
environment.
Since the oils separate easily from water, always shake well and keep on
shaking the bottle as you use these mixtures. They will deodorize and
clean the air instead of covering the odors.
