Essential Oil Spring Cleaning Recipes

Spring has arrived, and we've pulled together a few of our favorite spring-cleaning recipes for you.

Refreshing Room Spray
1 fl. oz. 190 proof alcohol (Everclear)
1 tsp. of essential oils of your choice for a 3% dilution. Add more essential oils if desired. For spring, our family likes Citrus Quench or Briar Rose blends.
3 fl. oz. minus 1 tsp. distilled water. (Basically, fill the 4oz bottle to the shoulder of the bottle.)
Combine well and pour into 1oz or 2oz spray bottles
Shake and mist your room as desired - ENJOY!

Kitchen Countertop Spray
½ cup Vodka or White Vinegar*
1 ½ cup Distilled Water
½ tsp Castile Soap (optional)
20-30 drops Essential Oil(s) of your choice.
Our family likes Spike Lavender or Citrus Quench.
16 oz spray bottle
Shake well to combine before spraying.
Use a microfiber or cotton cloth to wipe clean.
Use within a few weeks; refrigerate to extend shelf life.
*For granite countertops, use Vodka instead of vinegar, as vinegar can damage granite. Essential oils do not have acidic pH, and appropriately diluted they should be suitable.

Carpet Freshener
1 cup of Baking Soda
15-20 drops of Essential Oil(s) of your choice
Mix well and place in a glass-covered container (a quart jar works well) overnight so that the oil can be absorbed. Sprinkle over your carpet the next day and then vacuum.

Drawer Freshener
You can put a sachet in your drawers to keep your clothes freshly scented. Lavender, Briar Rose and Flower Garden are classic scents. For children's sleepwear drawers, our Peaceful or Heaven's Scent blends are especially fragrant and relaxing.
