I make my own cleaning solutions because most store bought cleaners can have toxic and harmful ingredients. Also, making your own cleaners is less expensive. It is very easy and you will know exactly what ingredients are in your home.
Benefits of cleaning with essential oils:
-Effective
-Toxin Free
-Safe to use around children and pets
-Positive side effects
-Inexpensive
I put together a list of 8 Cleaning Recipes and included a Free Printable with 2×3 labels.

6. DIY: Dish Soap
2 cups unscented castile soap
20 drops Lime essential oil
8 drops Lemon essential oil
6 drops Invigorating Blend essential oil
Directions:
1. Fill a large, clean bottle with castle soap; dilute according to instructions if using a concentrate.
2. Add essential oils. Shake bottle before each use.
3. You’re done! Just add 1-2 tablespoons to dish water for use.
7. DIY: Garbage Disposal Refreshers with Essential Oils
2 cups baking soda
1 cup salt
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup liquid castile soap (any scent)
30 drops Lemon essential oil
Directions:
1. Combine baking soda and salt into bowl.
2. Add castile soap and essential oil into mixture.
3. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time while stirring with hands until it forms into the consistency of “damp sand”. It should stay together when you press it together. If you add too much water just add some more baking soda and salt until the consistency is right.
4. Grab a tablespoon measurement device and scoop packed spoonfuls onto parchment paper.
5. Once the mixture has been scooped, let dry for 24 hours or until they are hard. One batch should make about 36 garbage disposal refreshers.
6. Put into glass jar and use the next time you do dishes! Just put 1-3 refreshers into the garbage disposal and turn it on. You will immediately smell the refreshing Lemon essential oil.
8. DIY: Carpet/ Mattress Cleaner
1 cup of baking soda
10-12 drops of your favorite essential oil. (bergamot oil, Cleansing Blend are good 2 options)
Directions:
1.Combine ingredients in an airtight container.
2. Mix the essential oils into the baking soda.
3. Sprinkle it on your carpet or mattress.
4. Let is sit for 10 minutes.
5. Vacuum it up.
Start saving money and clean your home safely with essential oils and natural ingredients! No toxic chemicals needed!
