Hi, my name is Chanda and I am an essential-oil-aholic.
Sorry, but it is true! I beg your forgiveness if the topic does not interest you, because I have been excessively prone to blogging all sorts of DIY’s using essential oils. I loooove the aromas and I adore all their uses and healing properties. Do I think they are the solution to everything? Nope. Not a chance. But, I have seen their usefulness time and time again.
This little recipe is one of my favorites because it smells amazing and is totally safe to hand over to my kiddos so that they can help with keeping our home clean, too. Actually, it makes me relieved to know that I have a go-to cleaner that is safe for us all to use. Here is a fun fact…did you know that many housekeepers no longer have fingerprints?? The chemicals that they use during the course of their job literally eat away at their hands so much that they know longer possess those distinct swirl patterns anymore. Crazy right?? And don’t even start on the topic of cancer!! Like I said, I am addicted to essential oils now!

Fill your spray bottle 3/4 of the way with fresh water. Add 1/4 cup of your favorite Castile soap. I adore almond, peppermint or lavender!
After adding the lemon oil and melaleuca oil, give your spray bottle a gentle shake to mix things up. Now get ready to enjoy the amazing aroma and the benefits of essential oils in your home!
Sniff, sniff…..ahhhhhh….it kind of surprises me just how much peacefulness comes from a clean smelling home. The kind of peacefulness that makes you not worry about the pending cold and flu season.

Can I use any washing up liquid soap? Don't think we have Castile soap
