When I got married last year, I decided that I wanted to keep my home as organic as possible, especially with cleaning products that are full of toxic chemicals that can actually cause horrible headaches to those with allergies. In my search I found Essential Oils. These oils are highly concentrated oils, extracted from plants and herbs, and completely all natural.

One oil that use is a Purification oil and I think it is amazing!! Its made from a combination of natural extracts from Citronella, Lemongrass, Rosemary Melaleuca, Lavandin and Myrtle. As most of you know my husband is in the army. Well ALL of his army stuff smells AWFUL. Imagine the rigorous training they go through on a daily basis. No matter what, after I wash his uniforms I would never get the stench out.

Using essential oils in the laundry

When I heard that a drop of Purification on a cotton ball inserted into the litter pan could prevent the cat litter from smelling, I decided to try it on Artie’s uniforms. I put a drop of Purification oil in with the detergent and to my amazement his army stuff actually smelt good! It worked miracles! Not only do I use it for washing Army uniforms, but I also use it on my dogs blanket! Not only does it work in the wash but if you put a couple of drops on a cotton ball and put in your smelliest shoes/boots, it will neutralize the odor. check out this recipe for homemade laundry detergent !

I have also found that it has therapeutic properties and can help alleviate itching, or can be a disinfectant for a blister. The oils can also be used in a diffuser to get rid of any home/office odor….these are just a few ways that I use this natural oil and its definitely a life saver in my home!

Till next time, Hooah!
