50 Recipes to Detox Your Home
There are many reasons to Go Natural with your Cleaning Products, including concerns over being exposed to unnecessary toxic chemicals. Many people purchase commercial “Green Cleaners” to only find that they may be better for the environment, they are toxic to humans and their pets.
According to this WebMD article, “These products [antibacterials and harsh cleansers] don’t work any better than their natural or non-toxic counterparts, and they damage the environment and potentially place our long-term health at risk.
Essential oils are Antimicrobial and Kill Bacteria Naturally without Dangerous Side Effects to you, your family, pets and the environment.
My purpose in making Homemade, All-Natural Cleaners is to not only save money but also so that I can eliminate toxins found in the majority of cleaners available at the store.
Some of the basic ingredients you will need if you want to start making your own cleaners are:
baking soda
lemon juice
hydrogen peroxide
rubbing alcohol
washing soda
white vinegar
Castile soap
essential oils

Question: Question: Are essential oils effective cleaning agents? Which oils would you recommend?
Cleaning with Essential OilsEssential oils have complex chemistries that give them diverse benefits. Many essential oils have powerful cleansing properties. They are highly effective yet nontoxic, making them ideal cleaning agents. There are many ways essential oils that can be integrated into your regular cleaning routine—use oils to clean kitchen counters, bathrooms, and other surfaces; diffuse the oils to purify the air; or use oils to cut grease and other tough stains. Citrus oils tend to be excellent cleaning agents and stain removers because of their high monoterpene content. I would also recommend Oregano, Purify Cleansing Blend, or any of the dōTERRA On Guard products to add to your everyday cleaning routine.
