Essential Oils for Household Cleaning

If you’ve paid attention to our blog, then you have probably picked up some great natural body care tips. Being an authority on the topic, we hope to help people out with a full natural alternative to traditional body care. But, you might be surprised to know that there are non-body care uses for our products as well. We’re excited to tell you about the use of essential oils for household cleaning.

One of our favorites is the Tunisian Rosemary and Peppermint E-Oil Blend. This essential oil is antifungal and antibacterial, so it has some great cleaning properties. The recommended use is to put a few drops into a bucket that is mixed one part water and one part vinegar. This mix then makes an ideal cleaner for wood floors and even items like wooden cutting boards.

But, the cleaning properties of this particular essential oil don’t end there. For bathroom cleaning and high-bacteria areas like around the toilet, it can be mixed with just vinegar in smaller doses. The properties of the essential oil and vinegar clean the area while also leaving it fungus and bacteria free. In the same way, mixing the Tunisian Rosemary and Peppermint E-Oil Blend with just water in smaller doses makes a great antibacterial spray for things like door knobs, keyboard keys, or any surface that is touched by hands. This offers great peace of mind for the germaphobes among us.

Of course, a fully clean environment includes the air around us as well. A few drops of this essential oil in a diffuser has been known to “clean up” the air and provide a mist in the air that is great for asthma and other bronchial infections. The true clean freak would be interested to know that even the air around them could be cleaner than it currently is!

As you can see, our E-Oil blends have some uses outside of the traditional realm. But, this is just the first entry in our essential oils for household cleaning series. Stay tuned here on our blog to learn even more about how essential oils can help clean up everything around you!
