Carpet Cleaning "We used 10 drops of Lemon Essential Oil for each gallon as we cleaned our carpets today. It was amazing how it brightened up the rug and helped pull stains out....and what a fresh smell! We got daring and decided to use Lavender Oil for the bedroom and it was great! I also noticed that by having the Lemon in the solution, there was not a problem with foaming in the dirty water." Happy Housekeeper in Georgia |
Rosemary Deodorizer & Immune System Booster 6 drops Rosemary Combine oils and water in a 2-ounce glass spritzer bottle. Shake well before each use and spray liberally into the air. This spray will combat odors and infectious organisms. During cold and flu season, add 2 drops of Eucalyptus. The blend works well in a diffuser also without the water. |
Take Away the Paint Smell Paint can make any room look brighter, but the smell lasts quite awhile and the process of painting is not very uplifting to the spirit or mind with all those fumes. Add one (1) 5ml bottle of your favorite essential oil to any five gallon bucket of paint. Stir vigorously and viola! You've got your own personal paiint odor to help you get the job done with a more energetic or brighter outlook! Do this with Lemon Essential Oil and help to protect your liver too! |
Clean Without Bleach
"I just mopped the kitchen floor in a gallon of water, a squirt of Sunshine Concentrate and 7 drops of Lemon Essential Oil. I liked using bleach to disinfect, but I know it is so bad for me and the pets, so I switched to Lemon Essential Oil which smells so wonderful that it makes my mouth water! A really nice benefit is that the floor is not sticky or slippery which is the typical problem with chemical floor cleaners and the bleach leaves a residue that I would have to rinse off. It sure is nice to smell lemon and feel refreshed after mopping the floor instead of dazed out from bleach vapors." Robin |
