Do you want your home to smell amazing?
This is super easy. You need a diffuser and essential oils. In our home we use orange essential oil, clove essential oil and vanilla. Add water to your diffuser than add 10-15 drops of your choice or combination of essential oils. Press start on your diffuser and get ready for amazing. Plus the essential oils help disinfect your home while making it smell great.
Scented vinegar for cleaning
Vinegar is an amazing addition to any natural cleaning collection. Did you know you can scent your vinegar? It’s real easy to do. For citrus scented vinegar fill a jar with citrus peels and vinegar. For lavender infused vinegar add lavender and vinegar to your jar. You can also scent vinegar with pine needles and rosemary. Essential oils are also great when wanting to scent vinegar.
When using peels, flowers, branches and plants to scent your vinegar, the longer you let the vinegar sit the stronger the particular smell will be. Scented vinegar can be used in homemade cleaning solutions and recipes.
