Clean Up and Kill Germs with Lemon Essential oil

Common Name Lemon Botanical Name Citrus Limon

Lemon Essential Oil is produced by squeezing the oil from the rind of the fruit.
It takes around 3000 lemons to produce 1kg of essential oil.  
Lemon essential oil promotes clarity of mind, invigorates and uplifts.
It is also powerful antiseptic with the ability to kill harmful bacteria in minutes.
Give your digestive system a boost by drinking some freshly squeezed lemon juice every morning.

Make your own Natural All Purpose Cleaner
You Will Need
  • A 500ml spray bottle
  • 50ml Environmentally Friendly Dish Liquid – I use Earth Choice
  • 25 – 50 drops Lemon Essential oil
  • 25 drops Lime Essential Oil (Optional)
Pour the dish liquid and essential oils in the bottle – if you have Lime oil,  use 25 drops of Lemon and 25 drops of Lime.
Fill with water shake well and there you have a simple, refreshing cleaner for your home.
Use to clean benches, walls, floors, toilet, sinks & showers.
For tough patches of dirt & grim put several drops of lemon essential oil directly on the spot let soak for a few minutes then wipe – you may need to alternate between spray & essential oil. Lemon is also great for removing crayon from walls & floors  
(use a test patch to ensure the oil doesn’t damage your paint)
