Everyday cleaning recipes with Young Living Essential Oils...

For all those natural, DIY-loving homemakers out there, I have assembled a summarized list of affordable and easy recipes for creating your own products for cleaning the home - from the kitchen to the bathroom! One of the wonders of essential oil-infused cleaning products is their highly concentrated antibacterial and antiviral properties. Some of the most effective EOs to use for every day cleaning use are Lavender, Clove, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil) and Citrus oils such as Lemon and Lime.

 

Purification Bathroom Air Freshener

Place 1/8 tsp of epsom salt at bottom of 2 ounce amber/blue glass spray bottle. Put 15 - 18 drops of Purification over the epsom salt and let it soak in. Then, fill the bottle with purified or distilled water to the top. Shake and use. 

This air freshener cuts through odors without a perfume-y, synthetic fragrance. It makes your bathroom smell very uplifting after a few sprays. 

The Young Living Purification blend contains Citronella, lemongrass, Rosemary, Melaleuca, Lavandin, and Myrtle.

 Citrus Vinegar Cleaner

Fill a quart size jar full of leftover citrus peels. Pour white vinegar up to the top. Add 5-8 drops of each essential oil. Let mixture sit in a cool, dark place for a couple weeks. Remove citrus peels and pour vinegar cleaner into a glass spray bottle for cleaning counter-tops in the bathroom and kitchen.

I used Orange and Grapefruit in this blend, but I have also used Young Living's Citrus Fresh blend and Lemon. Their citrus oils are the most affordable, ranging from $10 - $16, which is why they are so *perfect* to use for every day cleaning.
