Spring Celebrate with Aromatic Essential Oils What better time to think about energizing yourself and maybe even cleaning out the cobwebs than springtime. We’ve put together some great essential oil combinations to cleanse and invigorate! Cleaning WINDOW SHINE Make your windows and mirrors shine by combining 3 cups distilled water, 1/2 cup white vinegar, and 15-20 drops of Peppermint in a spray bottle. Shake and spray onto desired surface. Wipe dry with recycled paper towels. WOOD SURFACE POLISH To make your wood surface look shiny new, this simple polish only needs to be used periodically. Add 5 drops of Lemon with ¼ cup olive oil to a spray bottle and shake well. Spray onto rag and wipe over wood surfaces until bright and shiny. AROMATIC CLEANER In a spray bottle, add 3 drops Tea Tree and 3 drops Lemongrass to 3 ounces of water. Spray countertops and other surfaces for a natural, aromatic clean. CLOTHES WITH AROMA STYLE Take your favorite oil aroma with you by adding 15-to-20 drops of your oil of choice to your next load of laundry. Be creative— try combinations also! ODOR-BE-GONE Freshen up your rooms with a delightful spritz of aromatic essential oils. In a spray bottle, combine 3 drops Tea Tree, 3 drops Lemon and 3 drops Eucalyptus with 1 ½ to 2 cups of distilled water. You can also add a Tablespoon of baking soda. Shake gently and spray throughout the house.
