Spring Cleaning Never Smelled So Good

I don’t know if it’s because I have allergies, or just a sensitive nose, but sometimes I just cannot stand commercial cleaners. Still, I do want to make sure that my home is clean and safe from bacterial problems, especially in the kitchen. So, I’ve researched and tested some recipes using essential oils and other simple ingredients to be able to clean well, without dealing with harsh chemicals.
My two favorite essential oils are lemon and lavender. Lemon because nothing could smell fresher, in my opinion, and lavender because it is the queen of all essential oils and provides a calming effect to the mind and body. Both are great for cleaning, because they are anti-fungal, antibacterial, and antiviral.
I had also started using bergamot which is the scent of an orange native to the Mediterranean and used to scent Earl Grey tea.
