For Cleaning Solutions:
Always add Essential Oils last, after you‘ve added your cleaning liquids to the spray bottle. Since oil and water don’t mix well, make sure to shake your product thoroughly before each use.
For a gentle Scent:
Add 5-10 drops of essential oils to 500 ml of cleaning solution.
For the properties of the oil to come through:
Add 10-20 drops in 500 ml of cleaning solution.
Freshen up your laundry:
Our Organic Wool Dryer Balls and Essential Oils make a perfect duo! Just add 2-3 drops of your chosen Essential Oil to each Dryer Ball for a light, fresh fragrance. If you prefer a more pronounced scent, you can use up to 5-6 drops, but starting with a smaller amount is often best. Allow the Dryer Balls to soak in the oil and dry completely before placing them into the dryer. Put the Dryer Balls in with your laundry and run your usual drying cycle. When you notice the scent fading, simply “refresh” your Dryer Balls with an extra 1-2 drops of Essential Oil.
Deodorize Bins:
Start by sprinkling a spoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda into the bottom of your bin. Add a couple of drops of your favourite Essential Oil and some hot water. Give the mixture a good swish around, using a cloth or brush to tackle any stubborn grime. Rinse well and dry. Before lining the bin with a fresh bag, sprinkle a little more Bicarbonate of Soda and add a few extra drops of Essential Oil. This will keep unpleasant odours at bay for the long haul.
Create your own scent:
You can mix and match various scents to customize your cleaning solutions, tailoring them to both your cleaning needs and your personal preferences. It’s a fantastic way to add a personal touch to your routine. Why not experiment with Cinnamon and Orange, or perhaps a blend of Lemon and Tea Tree? For a powerful disinfecting combo, give Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Tea Tree a whirl. Or, if you’re in the mood to unwind, a soothing combination of Lavender and Pine might be just what you need. Experiment and enjoy the process!
These are just some of the very many applications for Essential Oils! Check out our Recipe page for even more ideas!
Our Essential Oils are carefully packaged in amber bottles to protect them from light, which can alter their delicate composition.
To maintain the quality of your Essential Oils, store them upright in a cool, dark location, away from excessive heat or sunlight.
Always keep the bottle lids tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and to stop air or water from entering, which also helps to keep the oils from evaporating.
The plastic dropper fitted in the bottle allows you to dispense the oil with precision, one drop at a time, while also keeping air and water at bay. Make sure to keep it in place!
For best results when creating a cleaning solution with Essential Oils, we suggest using dark or opaque bottles. This helps extend their shelf life and maintain their quality for longer.
Essential Oils are e a fantastic addition to your cleaning routine, but it’s important to use them safely and correctly.
A little goes a long way with Essential Oils! These concentrated substances need to be diluted before use. To avoid allergic reactions or skin irritation, make sure to wear protective gear when handling them.
Never swallow Essential Oils, even in diluted form.
Never apply the pure concentrated oils directly to the skin.
Some Essential Oils, especially citrus ones, can cause allergic skin reactions when exposed to direct sunlight, potentially damaging skin cells. To avoid a photosensitive reaction, it’s best to refrain from applying oils labelled as photosensitive before you go out into the sun.
Keep Essential Oils out of reach of curious pets and children, especially those under the age of seven. It’s crucial to store them in a place that neither kids nor pets can access.
Use caution when using Essential Oils around pets; even small amounts can be harmful to your furry friends. Avoid using Essential Oils in cleaning recipes unless you have thoroughly researched the relative safety of the specific oil for your particular type of pet. Our oils include safety instructions for both dogs and cats.
Lastly, if you are pregnant or have certain health conditions, Essential Oils may not be the right choice. Always check with your doctor before using Essential Oils
