The kitchen and bathroom are often a source of odors and bacteria. Use the following mixtures to freshen, deodorize, and disinfect the air, work areas, cupboards, bathroom fixtures, sinks, tiles, woodwork, carpets, door knobs, phones, keyboards, on toilets and around the base of smelly toilets, etc.
These blends are safe for the family and the environment, and smell oh so good!
The Young Living essential oils in these spray mixtures will also help eliminate germs and bacteria. Don’t expect to get these kinds of results with novelty aromatherapy oils found in health food stores.
Twenty years ago I became interested in essential oils because I was fed-up with spending a fortune on so-called natural household cleaners. I was determined to find nice smelling solutions that I could make myself for all of my household cleaning and as an air freshener. Young Living wasn’t in business twenty years ago so I had to buy my essential oils from another company, which were the best I could find at the time – they were not therapeutic-grade like Young Living’s so I could not use them topically or internally – still, I thought they were better than the ineffective natural cleaning products I was using.
I discovered Young Living oils in 1998 and as soon as my order arrived I compared my Young Living oils to the other brand I had been using – YUCK! I could not believe how disgusting the other brand of oils smelled. I threw out about $600 worth of essential oils that day, I just could not bring myself to use the inferior brand, not when I had the real deal in my hands… finally!
To this day I have not found any brand of essential oil that is more pure than my Young Living oils. I can use the Young Living oils in ways I had only dreamed – topically, internally, in cooking, as well as what got me into essential oils in the first place, for household cleaning and sanitizing.
I used Young Living oils for around 6 years before I decided to become a distributor four years ago. I just love these oils and the quality cannot be beat, their effectiveness is amazing.
The first recipe below is one of my all time favorites, I still use it even after all these years. I have found it to be superb at destroying odors and killing germs.
Tip: Since essential oils separate easily from water, always shake well and shake every so often as you use these mixtures. They will deodorize and clean the air, instead of covering or masking the odors.
