Oils for Cleaning...what I have done and what I am planning to do.

Part 1 - Lemon

This is my #1 go to for cleaning because it works sooo well, and because it is fresh, uplifting and can cheer up my little one with one swift sniff. 

Lemon as a wood cleaner 
- 1/4 cup vinegar
-1/4 cup olive oil
20 drops ( 1 ml ) of Lemon ( I used 10 drops Arbour vitae and 10 drops Lemon for a more unique fresh woodsy smell ) 

Put in an old olive oil bottle or jar or and pop a little on a clean cloth for wood top treatment once every month or two. 

Lemon as a deodorizer and multipurpose cleaner shaker. 
​
- one cup of baking soda 
-20 - 30 drops of Lemon

I put the soda and the oil in a mason jar and shake it to combine it. Using a metal skewer, I poked six holes in the top of the lid to  make it a shaker. 

The best part is that you can customize these shakers to include whatever scent you want. 

- On Guard
- Eucalyptus
- Tea Tree
- Lemongrass

I use these shakers on carpets, in the toilet, in the bathroom and kitchen with my vinegar eo mix on hard to clean grease surfaces. 

Lemon and White Vinegar Spray

Part I used an oil spray bottle and put 1/4 vinegar with 1/4 water in it and 20 drops of lemon. I use it for a multipurpose surface cleaner. 

Here is why I choose to clean with vinegar and make my own cleaners :) 
and...Tea tree and On Guard are also two keepers when it comes to cleaning with vinegar. The house doesn't smell pickled when I include them.
