Spring Greening!
Ahhhh spring time. Its that time of year when we all get the itch to start cleaning the dust bunnies and killing dandelions. Here are some healthy alternatives to cleaning without the harmful chemicals. It will take the headache out of weeding and cleaning!
Consider using Eucalyptus oil as a multi-purpose household
cleaner. www.greenlivingtips.com suggests using it for these items:
- Make a general disinfectant for toilets etc and again, it’s a very simple recipe. mix 50 ml (1.6 oz) of eucalyptus oil with a litre (quart) of water. That’s it – you can store it as you would a normal disinfectant.
- Eucalyptus oil can be used neat in order to remove sticker/decal residue from glass
- Add 1-2 teaspoonfuls of eucalyptus oil to your load of washing for a fresh scent along with the anti-microbial benefits
- Use the oil neat to help remove paint, grease and ink from clothes
- If you have a hanging car air freshener that’s almost dead, reinvigorate it by adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil
- Half a teaspoon mixed with half a litre (half quart) of water makes for a good bug repellent for plants
- To use as a room air freshener, Mix a quarter of a teaspoon or 15 drops of eucalyptus oil with a half teaspoon of vodka, place in an atomizer/spray bottle and add 2 cups of water. This should be quite subtle, so you may need to add more.
