If you’ve been feeling the itch to get some spring
cleaning done, you may notice some areas of your home have been neglected for
far too long. Luckily, doTERRA Lemon oil can help make cleaning those
long-forgotten nooks and crannies easier. Here are 10 ways you can use Lemon to
clean your home.
#1. Microwave—Microwaves
are notorious for being tough to clean, especially after mishaps involving
spaghetti sauce or tomato soup. To ease the pain of cleaning, simply microwave
a cup filled with water and a few drops of Lemon, then wipe clean!
#2. Dishwasher—Pour
distilled vinegar into a dish and add 5–10 drops of Lemon oil. Place this dish
in your empty dishwasher and run on high.
#3. Stove
Top—Lemon oil makes cleaning one of the dirtiest areas of the kitchen easy. Add
vinegar and Lemon to a spray bottle, and watch the grime disappear!
#4. Appliances—From
dust to greasy food spills, appliances collect more dirt than you might think.
A simple solution of Lemon oil, water, and vinegar will help you clean
toasters, refrigerators, mixers, and more.
#5. Garbage
disposal—If you’ve been smelling something funky coming from your sink, it
might be time to clean the garbage disposal.
#6. Ceiling
Fan—Fan blades collect dust at turbo speeds and cling to them for as long as
you let them. To avoid choking on dust bunnies while cleaning your ceiling
fans, spray the inside of an old pillow case with a Lemon/water mixture and
loop the fabric around each blade.
#7. Washing
Machine—Run a mixture of Lemon oil, baking soda, vinegar, and water through
your empty machine on the hottest setting to break up dirt build-up and mildew.
Scrub any excess with a sponge, then run the machine again with fresh water.
#8. Trash
Cans—Regularly cleaning out trash cans can eliminate odor. For indoor trash
cans, spray the inside and outside of each can with a mixture of water, Lemon
oil, and vinegar, then scrub with a sponge.
#9. Windows and
Windowsills—The same mixture of Lemon oil, water, and vinegar in a spray bottle
that you’ve been using all around the house will do wonders for your windows
and windowsills. Simply spray glass and wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel,
then move onto ledges and sills with a toothbrush or damp sponge.
#10. Air
Vents—One of the most overlooked areas to keep clean in your home is the air
you breathe! Clean vents with a sponge dipped in warm water, vinegar and Lemon
oil to help eliminate allergens and dust from filling the air around you.
Lemon oil acts as a powerful cleaning agent and the
possibilities are truly endless! Share this post and let us know how you like
