Cleaning Using Essential Oils

admin — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 04:33:11 +0000

Replacing unsafe and harsh-smelling chemicals in your home by using essential oils is one of the many benefits of using essential oils!
Here are a few cleaning tips:

Dishwasher:
Add a few drops of essential oils to your dishwasher and clean more than just your dishes! Suggested oils for your dishwasher: lavender, melaleuca, lemon, or wild orange.

Laundry:
Add a few drops of essential oils to your laundry and enjoy a fresh smell as well as a very effective disinfectant! Eucalyptus kills dust mites (dust mites feed on our dead skin cells and leave 10x their body weight in fecal matter behind every day, and we are lucky enough to be allergic to their waste!) add 5 or more drops to each load of laundry. Add your favorite smelling essential oil to a dryer sheet and make the whole load smell fantastic!

Surface cleaners:
Use as plastic spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of any citrus essential oil or a defense blend to disinfect your kitchen and bathroom surfaces. You can also add a few drops of your hand dish soap to the mixture for a more soapy cleaner. Suggested oils: (for a medium to large spray bottle) 3 or more of any of the following – lavender, lemon, grapefruit, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, thyme, onguard, citrus bliss, or melaleuca. Be sure to shake the bottle at the beginning of and throughout cleaning since the oils will separate from the water.

Floors and carpets:
*For non-carpeted floors, add a 1/4 cup of white vinegar to a bucket of water. Add 5 drops of lemon or melaleuca. For a really dirty floor add several drops of dish soap to the mixture- this will clean even the dirtiest floors!
*Carpet freshener- 10 or more drops of essential oil in a cup of baking soda or borax powder. Seal in a container over night to allow the oils to absorb into the powder. Sprinkle over carpet and vacuum up. Or, in a water based filter system like in a Rainbow vacuum, just add essential oils to the water basin! In a system with a bag or canister, add essential oils to a rag and place in the bag or canister.

Deodorize Kitchens and Bathrooms:
Add any of the following oils to a spray bottle (shake throughout use): a few drops of each, rosemary, lemon, eucalyptus, and lavender or the blend Purify.

General cleaning and disinfecting:
Add any or all of the following oils to cleaning water: orange, lemon, or peppermint.

Good luck and happy cleaning:)
