Pure Essential Oils have cleansing, deodorising, healing, disinfectant, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties. 100% plant-based oils are both human and eco-friendly and are toxin-free unlike many cleaning products available in supermarkets.

 

 

Often chemical-based ingredients used in most conventional cleaning products can be just as harmful as the dirt and germs they are meant to eliminate.

Flaunt your healthy home by creating your own DIY potions for showers, carpets, tiles, furniture, bench-tops and toilets. You’ll find a little Aromatherapy goes a very long way. Your home will be beautifully clean and friends will want to know your cleaning secrets! Read on for some aromatherapy recipes to get you started, then have fun inventing your own.

 


 

Healthy Home Recipes

 

Air Freshener

Frankincense 3, Lemon 3, Orange 4 OR Celebration Blend 10

Ant Rid

Lavender 3, Peppermint 4, Tea Tree 3
Mix oils in a spray bottle with 500mL water. Spray on surfaces where ants are invading regularly until the ants disappear.

Aromatic Vacuuming

Geranium 1, Lavender 1, Lime 1
