ESSENTIAL OILS FOR CLEANING

What oils should you use for cleaning? Any of the following are great choices!

Lavender (My favorite, everyone must have!): Antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial
Lemon: Antimicrobial, antiseptic, insecticide
Rosemary: Antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral
Eucalyptus: Antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral

If you don't want to use Lemon choose another citrus oil such as Sweet Orange or Pink Grapefruit (Citrus oils are astringent and grease cutting). Tea Tree is another great one to use for cleaning because it is antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal. Tea Tree, Thyme and Rosemary are all powerful disinfectants.

Here's a great tip - a blend of Lemon and Pink Grapefruit added to whatever cleaning solution you use will not only help kill germs but it will also energize you for the work involved in Spring Cleaning!!!!
