Thursday Tip #1

Today is the first of a series I am going to do for “Thursday Tips” regarding essential oils.  I have long used essential oils for many things, including cleaning.  Hence, my tip for the day is how to make an all purpose cleaner with essential oils.  Essential oils have been recognized as having antiseptic, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties as well as being super efficient in deodorizing. 

All natural, all purpose cleaner
What you will need:

• Spray bottle 32oz/947ml
• Distilled Water
• Essential oils of Rosemary, Peppermint, Eucalyptus

Directions:

Add 7-10 drops of each oil to the spray bottle and then fill with distilled water. Shake and you are ready to go. 

Not only can you be rest assured that your house is clean but it is also clean without the use of harsh chemicals.  This cleaner won’t hurt your children or pets and it is safe on virtually any surface because it is pH balanced, meaning it is even safe for use on granite. 

Hint:
Essential oils were once only sold at specialty shops, but since they have gained popularity over the years they are now readily available at most grocery stores.  Just find them in the organic/natural section of your favorite store.
