Natural Cleaning with Essential Oils

Have you ever heard me say that the average home is one of the most toxic places we encounter on a daily basis?


The reality- it is.


Check this out: https://www.ewg.org/ewgverified/is-your-home-healthy.php

Cleaning naturally with essential oils is the second way to reduce that toxic load, plus cleaning with essential oils will do a solid for your body & the environment!


The #1 way to reduce toxic load is to make the switch to all natural plant based lifestyle/body products. One easy step in a clean-living direction is to start with an easy swap like switching your shampoo to a cleaner version. I share why I started with shampoo, in my recent blog post: 'Why I Stopped Washing My Hair With Shampoo'.


But, I digress. Moving onto cleaning naturally, with essential oils... so you don't have to protect your lungs like this gal.





TOP OILS FOR CLEANING NATURALLY WITH ESSENTIAL OILS

• ALLLL of the citrus oils like Bergamot, Lemon, and Lime essential oils are powerful cleansing agents that also purify the air and surfaces and can be used as natural cleaners throughout the home. Citruses also help protect against environmental threats…Think viral infections

• Wild Orange is another great citrus oil to cleanse and purify surfaces. Putting a few drops in your own all-purpose spray will not only add a great cleansing boost but a lovely aroma as well!

• Douglas Fir and Siberian Fir are also cleansing and purifying oils. These oils deodorize the air and leave a fresh, piney scent on surfaces.

• Eucalyptus is refreshing and cleansing.

• Tea Tree is very well known for its purifying properties. Use on surfaces to protect against environmental threats. When diffused, Tea Trees will help purify and freshen the air.

• Purify Cleansing Blend is composed of Lemon, Siberian Fir, Citronella, Lime, Tea Tree, and Cilantro. This blend is specially designed to dispel unpleasant odors and purify the air.

• Peppermint is refreshing and rejuvenating. It repels bugs & rodents naturally and creates an invigorating atmosphere when diffused or used topically on surfaces.

• OnGuard Protective Blend is made up by doterra that has Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary essential oils. It provides natural protection against environmental factors and overall cleaning capability. On Guard can be diffused to clean the air or used topically on hard surfaces too.

Cleaning makes me cranky, so if you need me, I'll be over here avoiding it all costs.




I'm a Selfcare Coach & if you hang around with me long enough I will convince you are worth anything your heart desires

​

I live on a small island on an island on the West Coast of Canada, with my husband & two boys..

​

I pump my tires on empowering women + living an intentionally clean & natural lifestyle. We DIY the shit out of everything. I get great satisfaction out of women leaning in and leading themselves to a life of abundance.

​

I learned quickly that I hated working on other people's terms in any employment type setting. Essential oils have allowed me to build a business and lifestyle that I don’t need to take a vacation from. I have created a chemical free environment for my family, I take care of myself daily, I am home when my kids return after school, and I have a business I love!

​

When friends and family were polled for my top 5 (good & bad) attributes, this is what they shared about me:

​

1. loyal

2. driven/goal oriented/committed

3. impatient

4. straight shooter (yet never mean spirited)

5. authentically herself


It's always selfcare season- xo, Melissa J.
