    clean with essential oils

     

    I love to make my own homemade cleaners. I have found that homemade cleaners do a great job of cleaning around the house, sometimes even better than store-bought cleaners.

    When you make your own homemade cleaners you know what is in the cleaners. Plus, they smell amazing too because of essential oils. I like to add essential oils to my homemade cleaners to make them smell great and boost the cleaning power. If you haven't started cleaning with essential oils yet check out these tips on how to clean with essential oils.

    Not all essential oils work the same. When you are using them for cleaning you will want to make sure you use the right essential oils for the job. Some do a great job at killing off germs and some are a wonderful degreaser.

    Lemon- Lemon essential oil works great in the kitchen & bathroom. You can use it to cut grease and as a disinfectant. It's also antiviral so you can use it during cold and flu season in the bathroom & around the home.

    Peppermint- Peppermint essential oil smells great & is also a fantastic antibacterial solution. You can use it in the bathroom & around the house to kill off bacteria. It also works well at getting rid of stale smells in the home.

    Tea Tree- Tea Tree essential oil is antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. It works great in the bathroom to get rid of mold and mildew. It's perfect for an all-purpose spray around the house.

    Lavender- Lavender essential oil works well for the laundry room & bathroom. It also prevents mold & mildew plus it smells great. You can add a couple drops to your laundry for fresh smelling clothes.

    Rosemary- Rosemary essential oil is antibacterial. It works great in the kitchen & bath to kill off viruses and germs. You can add it to a homemade sink cleaner to keep your sink free from bacteria.

    Pine- Pine essential oil helps kill off household germs. It works to help make your house smell good and disinfect. You can add to a homemade floor cleaner to kill off germs & have a fresh smelling room.

    Thyme- Thyme essential oil helps kill off germs and bacteria. It works great in kitchen cleaners because it kills off salmonella. You can easily add it to counter sprays to keep kitchen surfaces clean & free from bacteria.

    Orange- Orange essential oil is a fantastic degreaser. It is a good oil to add to any stove or oven cleaner that you make to help break down grease and grime.  It also works well on countertops that have grease spatters.

    I am not brand picky with essential oils, but I do love Fabulous Frannie essential oils. I have noticed that they are just as good as the more expensive brands but cost much less. You can head over here to grab one of their gift sets or just buy one bottle. They are usually less than $5 a bottle.

    Another great place to get your essential oils is from Plant Therapy. They offer free shipping in the U.S! So it's a great place to get essential oils, especially if you don't have Amazon Prime.

    By using the right essential oil for the job you will make sure that your cleaners are powerful. When you clean with essential oils it makes your home smell great and helps your cleaners work better.
