Aromatherapy Kitchen Recipes

Make your own essential oil home made cleaners

I buy almost no commercial cleaning products at all any more because I'd rather make my own. I know exactly what's in them, I know that they're eco-friendly, and I know they work.

Here are a few of my favorite aromatherapy kitchen recipes; tried, tested and refined until perfect.

Disinfectant Cleaning Spray

You can use it everywhere: Spray it on your sinks, toilets and countertops to disinfect them. Spray it onto a cloth and damp-wipe to dust your furniture. Use it to clean your car, your office, your patio furniture...

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon borax
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 2 cups water
• 30 drops essential oil (jump down to essential oil blends)

Directions

1. Boil the water. Pour it into a large glass measuring cup or pitcher with a spout.
2. Add the borax and stir until dissolved.
3. Add the vinegar.
4. Let cool, then pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
5. Drop in the essential oils.

Caution

Do not use this recipe to clean windows, mirrors or glass; it will cause streaks.

No-Rinse Aromatherapy Floor Cleaner

Fill a bucket (or your sink) with hot water. Pour in about 1/4 cup (a splash) of white vinegar. Add 15 drops essential oil.

That's it - just wash and let dry. No fuss, no muss, and it works on ceramic tile, vinyl, laminate and hardwood floors. I love this recipe!

Aromatherapy Quick Trick for Dishsoap

Adding lavender and lemon not only makes your dishsoap smell wonderful, but it kills germs and bacteria and helps cut grease. Yummy and effective!
