Make Your Home Sparkling Clean Using Essential Oils

Read the labels of the cleaning products under your sink and check if any of them are made with essential oils. Even if some of them are “lemon scented”, they probably contain countless other harmful substances that can be harmful to more than just the germs on your countertop.

Wouldn’t you rather clean the surfaces that your family touches every day with non-toxic, safe products that you can make at home?

If you’re worried that all-natural products lack the power to really clean and disinfect your house – it’s filthy after all, right? – relax. Essential oils have incredible anti-viral, anti-bacterial qualities that will leave your home sparkling clean and fresh, without leaving harmful coatings of toxic, smelly chemicals all over your home. No commercial cleaning product can do that, not even that bald, muscular guy with the earring.

When investing in the ingredients used to make home cleaning products, buy only the best, therapeutic grade essential oils and high-quality, natural items. In the long run, they end up costing less per month than the chemical choices and once you mix up a batch, it will last a long time.

An added bonus – knowing exactly what is in each bottle will make you feel great about cleaning your home, turning a chore into a health routine. Plus, the aromatherapy effects of essential oils not only clean your home physically, but clear the air and raise emotional levels on a very subtle but powerful level. I always tell my students never to underestimate the power of therapeutic grade essential oils. Seriously, they are so awesome you will never let yourself buy commercial products again.
