Natural Cleaning Solutions

Cleaning the bathroom is not an experience people look forward to very often. Being stuck in a small closed space with harsh chemicals not only makes it hard to breathe, but can also be hazardous to your health. The next time you clean your bathroom, why not try mixing up an effective cleaner with many ingredients you already have at home.

All Purpose Cleaning Spray

There is no need to pull out your rubber gloves and surgical masks when you clean your home. It might surprise you to know that you can concoct simple and inexpensive non-toxic cleaners from ingredients already lying around your house. Using essential oils to create your own cleaning spray is not only safe on the environment, but is safe for your family as well.

Do It Yourself

Natural Body Wash

Personal care items, including most body washes, often contain artificial fragrances, chemicals, and dyes that can irritate the skin. Scented body wash is a fun way to wake up your senses in the morning or calm them down at night. Scented body wash can provide valuable nourishment to your skin, if it contains the right ingredients.

Essential Lip Balm

Everyone understands the frustration that comes from peeling, dry, cracked lips. Lip balm is one of the most common products we use to prevent this frustration and maintain soft and healthy lips, but did you know that many of them contain chemicals, artificial fragrances, alcohol, and salicylic acid that can actually irritate lips and cause dryness.

Soothing Salve

A good salve can be the base to many amazing recipes. Similar to the texture of petroleum jelly, you can customize this salve with essential oils to meet your needs. Add Breathe to help open up airways, Serenity or Lavender to help you sleep better, or Citrus Bliss for an invigorating moisturizer. The options are endless!

Fast-Fizzing Bath Bombs

Creating a spa like environment in your home can easily be done using simple household ingredients and essential oils. Bath bombs are a fun way to add excitement to your senses while enjoying the benefits of essential oils. They are also entertaining to use, and are loved by both kids and adults alike; because really, who doesn’t love a bath that fizzles?!
