|When I first started learning about essential oils and their uses, I was most interested in how they could be used to replace so many of the chemicals I was using on a daily basis in my own home. I went around and did an inventory check in my kitchen and bathroom since I hadn't really thought too much about what I used on my surfaces to clean.
I was surprised to learn just how many chemicals and toxins are used in household cleaner or even the spray that I was using to clean the mirrors and glass in my home. Sure it was helping to keep things disinfected, but what were the consequences to the health and well-being to myself and my well-being in the long term? I didn't have the answers, but I knew I wanted to search for more natural solutions so that I could feel like I had done all I could to protect my family against harm, but still maintain a clean house. As a doTERRA Essential Oils Wellness Advocate, I also educate others about the benefits of using essential oils in their life. One of the most effective essential oils I use in my own home and encourage others to consider purchasing (which is also the top-selling doTERRA Essential Oil and one of the most cost-effective) is Lemon Essential Oil. There are endless uses for Lemon Essential Oil, and one of the most widely used in my own home is for cleaning. This article will share two of my favourite ways to use Lemon EO for cleaning and I will also share how you can access a free DIY library to access other recipes to make at home, as well. I hope this article gives you the encouragement and confidence to consider using more natural products in your own home for the well-being of your whole family.

Essential Oil LabelsThe labels I used for my spray bottles were found on Etsy. There are lots of choices out there for labels (including do-it-yourself with a blank white sticker and a permanent marker) but these labels are high quality and look great. The labels from JMEssentialsCo are also easy to apply - follow the directions when you receive your labels for best results. I have not had any issues with mine and have been using the bottles daily for months!

I just bought a set of brown amber glass spray bottles so I can start making my own DIY cleaners with essential oils! I'm really excited to start. Thanks for these helpful recipes! I'm definitely pinning this for later. :) 4/7/2018 05:28:22 pm
Awesome! What combinations of essential oils did you use?
I love fresh scents, the citrusy ones and lemon grass are my favorite. I normaly buy ready, organic cleaners, but making it yourself seems much better: it is personal, on a budget and much healthier. Thank you for sharing these! 1/16/2018 02:58:05 pm
