STEP 8 - CLEANING UP FOR COMPANY

broken image

So, everyone is coming to YOUR house for Thanksgiving? Well, someone has to do it, right?

Having the extended family over for the holidays can be a wonderful blessing; it also provides you with an opportunity to let your hosting, decorating, and cooking skills shine!

But it can also be a challenge to get all the CLEANING done, done well, and done on time. And for many, scrubbing the house with the usual cleaning concoctions available in most grocery stores is not ideal—harsh, toxic chemicals are not really what you want filling your house at ANY time of the year.

The good news is that Essential Oils not only provide a safe, all-natural alternative, they also work extremely well, making your cleaning not only healthier, but easier as well.

There are five Essential Oils and oil blends that are especially excellent for cleaning around the house:

• Lemon

• Melaleuca

• Protective Blend

• Cleansing Blend

• Wild Orange

And here are some tips for using these Essential Oils to clean up for Thanksgiving:

• Add Lemon Essential Oil to a spray bottle of water to clean tables, countertops, and other surfaces.

• Use Melaleuca with vinegar to help cleanse and purify dirty floors.

• Add Protective Blend to equal parts Water, Peroxide, and Alcohol. Stir in with rags. Use as a natural cleansing wipe.

• Add a few drops of Cleansing Blend to your laundry rinse cycle to help eliminate odors.

• Add Cleansing Blend to Vinegar in a spray bottle to clean toilets and other bathroom dirty zones.

• Combine Wild Orange with Olive Oil and Vinegar for a refreshing and invigorating wood polish.
