What scent comes to mind when you think of clean? Does your mind go toward fragrant, fresh laundry or the aroma of bleach?

Although many people have grown accustomed to associating the smell of bleach with cleanliness, did you know that you can effectively sanitize your home while invigorating your senses using products enhanced with essential oils?

The sweet smelling all-natural addition does more than just freshen up your room’s vibe, these aromatic oils have antimicrobial, antibacterial and antiviral properties extracted from nature’s most essential resources. Many of these oils will clean most surfaces simply by adding water.

DIY Personal Scent

What’s even better about the fresh new scent of cleanliness is that it can be customized to your personal preference. Natural cleaning solutions enhanced with lavender or cassia give off that floral scent while still wiping away dirt and germs. Adding lemon essential oil to water makes a great disinfectant or furniture polish, guaranteed to give you that professional quality shine with a subtle citrus scent.

If you prefer your home has a more earthy fragrance, eucalyptus or cedarwood are great options. You could also try a fresh pop of spearmint in your bathroom or kitchen, to give it a boost of inviting freshness. Although essential oils have countless beneficial properties for cleanliness and overall wellness, it is the wide range of natural fragrances that have revolutionized the scent of a clean home.

Knock Out Nose Blind

Our homes are full of more unpleasant odors than we realize, as we become accustomed to the smell of pets, sweat, and wafting aromas from past meals that linger inside our walls. Strong smells tend to stick around and we become nose blind to their offensive odors. Thankfully, the gentle scent of essential oils will soften their impact when a guest enters your house.

When you go a step further and clean your home using the antibacterial, antiviral oils, they will also break up the toxins causing the unpleasant smells.

There are many alternatives that will improve your home’s natural scent, but none are as safe or as effective as cleaning with essential oils. Candles, incense and waxes emit gases into the air and can be hazardous if left unattended. Air fresheners can often contain harsh chemicals and they don’t actually clean your home. Fresh flowers are nice, but they are expensive to keep up.

Ensuring that your home smells clean and fresh doesn’t have to be associated with bleach, as many of have been accustomed to. By using essential oils combined with natural cleaners like water and vinegar, you have so many options!

Your home can smell like Roses, Wild Orange, Basil, Oregano, Frankincense or Peppermint. The extensive variety of oils can be blended for a custom sweet smell or you can use different scents in every room depending on your preference.

In short, essential oils are the fresh new scent of cleanliness and proven to improve your well-being, so it’s an easy choice in cleanliness for your home.
