Lemon Essential oil – My Favorite Cleaning Product!

Common Name Lemon Botanical Name Citrus Limon

Lemons are high in therapeutic value – drink some freshly squeezed lemon juice in a cup of water every morning as a great way to boost your digestive system, cleanse your blood & liver and freshen your breath.

Lemon Essential Oil is produced by squeezing the essential oil from the rind of the fruit. It takes around 3000 lemons to produce 1kg of oil!

Lemon essential oil promotes clarity of mind, improving memory, digestion, invigorates and uplifts.

Lemon is my favorite oil for cleaning around the home – it is highly antiseptic with the ability to kill harmful bacterior in minutes.

Make your own Natural All Purpose Cleaner

You Will Need

• A 500ml spray bottle (a clean recycled one is fine)
• 50ml Environmentally Friendly Dish Liquid – I use Earth Choice
• 25 – 50 drops Lemon Essential oil
• 25 drops Lime Essential Oil (Optional)

Put the dish liquid and essential oils in the bottle – if you have Lime oil only use 25 drops of Lemon.                                                                                                                                                                                Fill with water shake well and there you have a simple, refreshing cleaner for your home.

Use on benches, walls, floors, toilet, sinks & showers.

For tough patches of dirt & grim put several drops of lemon oil directly on the spot let soak for a few minutes then wipe – you may need to alternate between spray & oil.

*Lemon is also great for removing crayon from walls & floors (use a test patch to ensure the oil doesn’t damage your paint)
