It can be easy to add essential oils into your cleaning routines and habits! Many essential oils have cleansing properties and even antimicrobial properties that help promote a healthy and clean environment. Some of the best essential oils for cleaning are lemon, tea tree, lavender, eucalyptus, wild orange, peppermint, cinnamon bark, and arborvitae.


Lemon All-Purpose Cleaner

  • 5 drops lemon oil

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 cup vinegar

Combine all ingredients into a glass container and shake well. This can be used on many surfaces and clean up lots of messes, dust, and dirt!



Simple All-Purpose Cleaner

  • 1/4 cup white vinegar

  • 1 3/4 cup water

  • 30 drops of essential oil

Some recommendations for the 30 drops of essential oils:

  • 15 drops of lavender and 15 drops of lemon

  • 10 drops each of eucalyptus, wild orange, and peppermint

  • 30 drops of OnGuard blend

  • 15 drops Grapefruit and 15 drops OnGuard

Be creative with the recommended cleaning essential oils and create your own unique blends for your spray.


Glass Cleaner

  • 16 oz spray bottle

  • 1 1/2 cups white vinegar

  • 1/2 cup distilled water

  • 8 drops of a citrus oil (lemon, lime, wild orange, grapefruit, tangerine, or the Citrus Bliss blend)

Add vinegar, water, and essential oil all into the spray bottle. Shake well. Use to clean shiny and glass surfaces for a shiny polished look.


Stove Top Cleaner

  • 1/4 cup baking soda

  • 1/4 cup table salt

  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 2 Tbsp water

  • 4-5 drops Purify essential oil blend

Mix the ingredients together until a thick paste forms. Spread this mixture onto the stovetop and leave it on for 15 minutes (or longer for tougher stains). Remove mixture and wipe surface clean.
