I spend a lot of time in the kitchen; cooking, baking, cleaning...
My oils are there to help, when it is time to finish up cleaning. Here is the mixture I use for the countertops:
Add 5 to 10 drops of the following oils to a 16oz (500ml) glass spray bottle:
- peppermint
- melaleuca
- On Guard
- Purify
- lime or lemon
- spearmint
- Terrashield (I use this during summer to keep the bugs away!)
You can also add 1 to 2 tablespoons of white vinegar if you do not mind the smell. Fill the rest with water. Happy cleaning!
By using essential oils for cleaning you avoid harsh chemicals. And since the oils are potent, a small amount goes a long way.
You don't have to use all the oils I listed above. Or you can add different oils that you like. Endless possibilities—all smell nice and clean effectively!
Stay healthy, stay happy!
