Ditch the Chemicals – How To Create Your Own DIY Natural Elixirs

The use of pure essential oils around the home is becoming increasingly popular with more people opting for a healthier home environment. What's cool about making the switch to natural oils? It can save money, take up less cupboard space and help save the planet!

Pure essential oils have cleansing, deodorising, healing, disinfectant, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties. 100% plant-based oils are both human and eco-friendly and are toxin-free unlike most cleaning products available in supermarkets. Often chemical-based ingredients used in most conventional cleaning products can be just as harmful as the dirt and germs they are meant to eliminate. And many brands promote the use of so called -pure essential oils' as key active ingredients in their products, yet the quality and quantity of these oils is poor.

You can create your own DIY elixir for showers, carpets, tiles, furniture, bench tops and toilets and you'll find a little aromatherapy goes a very long way. Your home will be sparkling clean and the fresh aromas will be blissful!

5 Recipes to get you Started
Disinfectant: Place a few drops of Eucalyptus/Cedarwood pure essential oil into water in a clean spray bottle. Use the spray around the home as a general surface disinfectant.

Hard Floor Cleaner: Place a drop of Lavender, Peppermint and Tea Tree pure essential oil into a bucket of hot water to mop hard floors. The oil combination cleans, removes bacteria and debugs your home all at the same time.

Sticky Residue Remover: Use a couple of drops of Eucalyptus/Cedarwood and Lavender pure essential oil to remove sticky label residue, blu-tac remains and temporary 3M style wall hangers.

Carpet Freshener: Depending on the size of your carpet area, mix up to 20 drops of Lavender pure essential oil with 250g of baking soda and sprinkle a small amount on to your carpet for a few hours, then vacuum. Baking soda absorbs odors and essential oils add a delightful fresh scent.

Soap Scum Cleaner: Place a few drops of Lemon, Orange and Tea Tree pure essential oils in a clean spray bottle. Apply the spray onto the tiles and shower screen then use some bicarbonate of soda on a cloth to remove the soap scum and rinse off.
