10 Ways to Use Essential Oils- Home & Garden


HOME & GARDEN

  • Create an aromatic space for your loved ones while cleaning. Put 5 drops of your favorite essential oil on a cotton ball and place it in a vacuum cleaner bag. Try Peppermint, Spearmint, Cassia, Purification, or Pine. Geranium can help with doggy odor.
  • Soak a dishcloth overnight in a bowl of water and add a few drops of Lemon to disinfect and kill germs. It is especially important for traveling or a cold to disinfect your space. Thyme and Eucalyptus are natural sanitizers.
  • Create an all-natural kitchen sink scrub by mixing ½ cup baking soda, ⅛ cup vinegar, and 5 drops each of Bergamot and Lime. Put the mixture in the sink and scrub. Complete the process by washing the sink down with warm water.
  • To clean and increase the shelf life of fresh fruit, fill a bowl with cool water and 2-6 drops of Lemon. Drop washed fruit into the water and stir. Your fruit will be luscious for days longer than usual.
  • For sticky messes, use 1-2 drops of Lemon to remove gum, oil, glue, adhesive, or crayon from most surfaces.
  • To dispel household cooking odors add a few drops of any citrus essential oil to a simmering pan of purified water. Get rid of cigarette smoke and cooking smells by placing a few drops of clove, Rosemary, Tea Tree, and Eucalyptus in a pot of simmering water. 
  • When washing out the fridge, freezer, or oven, add Lime, Grapefruit, Bergamot, or Lemongrass to the final rinse water for a refreshing aroma.
  • Get rid of pesky bugs without harmful chemicals. To help keep squirrels, spiders or mice away place 3-6 drops of Peppermint on a cotton ball at the place they enter.

  • To help keep flies, away mix 25 drops of Peppermint or Lavender with 16 oz. purified water in a large spray bottle. The mix can be used on countertops, windows, and doors. Be sure to shake well before each use.
