Cleaning with doTerra Oils!

Replacing unsafe and harsh-smelling chemicals in your home by using essential oils is one of the many benefits of using essential oils!
Here are a few cleaning tips:

Dishwasher:
Add a few drops of essential oils to your dishwasher and clean more than just your dishes! Suggested oils for your dishwasher: lavender, melaleuca, lemon, or wild orange.

Laundry:
Add a few drops of essential oils to your laundry and enjoy a fresh smell as well as a very effective disinfectant! Eucalyptus kills dust mites (dust mites feed on our dead skin cells and leave 10x their body weight in fecal matter behind every day, and we are lucky enough to be allergic to their waste!) add 5 or more drops to each load of laundry. Add your favorite smelling essential oil to a dryer sheet and make the whole load smell fantastic!

Surface cleaners:
Use as plastic spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of any citrus essential oil or a defense blend to disinfect your kitchen and bathroom surfaces. You can also add a few drops of your hand dish soap to the mixture for a more soapy cleaner. Suggested oils: (for a medium to large spray bottle) 3 or more of any of the following – lavender, lemon, grapefruit, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, thyme, onguard, citrus bliss, or melaleuca. Be sure to shake the bottle at the beginning of and throughout cleaning since the oils will separate from the water.

Floors and carpets:
*For non-carpeted floors, add a 1/4 cup of white vinegar to a bucket of water. Add 5 drops of lemon or melaleuca. For a really dirty floor add several drops of dish soap to the mixture- this will clean even the dirtiest floors!
*Carpet freshener- 10 or more drops of essential oil in a cup of baking soda or borax powder. Seal in a container over night to allow the oils to absorb into the powder. Sprinkle over carpet and vacuum up. Or, in a water based filter system like in a Rainbow vacuum, just add essential oils to the water basin! In a system with a bag or canister, add essential oils to a rag and place in the bag or canister.

Deodorize Kitchens and Bathrooms:
Add any of the following oils to a spray bottle (shake throughout use): a few drops of each, rosemary, lemon, eucalyptus, and lavender or the blend Purify.

My doTerra story

Let me start this blog by telling a little bit about myself. I am a 25 year old LDS Mother of three boys! I was born in Oslo Norway, but have been raised here in Salt Lake City for the majority of my life. I have been married to a wonderful man for six years now this April. I currently reside in West Jordan Utah, and have lived here for three years.

About a year ago my sister in law introduced me to essential oils. To be more pacific, doTerra essential Oils. I was looking for a all purpose cleaner for my kitchen that was safe for my granite counters, stainless steel and ceramic stove top. She gave me a bottle of Lemon oil and a really pretty blue glass spray bottle and asked me to try it. After doing some research I found that Lemon Oil is not only safe for all my surfaces but kills ALL the nasty germs in my kitchen. Salmonella, Ecoli, H1N1 virus to name a few. As an added bonus it was safe for my children. In fact I was told to take a drop orally everyday to boost my immune system. So Now not only do i clean with this Lemon Oil but Myself and my family take a drop as we walk out the door each morning. And it works, we hardly ever get sick.

I was diagnosed with bi-polar about four years ago. When I found out I was pregnant with my third child I decided for the health of my child I was going to stop taking my mood stabilizing medications. Shortly after the delivery I was showing signs of the disease. I was nursing and really wanted to keep my baby safe from the side effects of these medications, so I turned to essential oils. I started using a blend that doTerra offers called Elevation. I have not only not had to use any medication but I also had no post par tum depression of any kind. I was amazed of how a simple oil blend could offer me that much peace of mind.

Why I started selling doTerra essential Oils is easy. I LOVE the product. I love that it is safe to clean with and safe for my children. That it is saving me money on medical and giving me peace of mind. I love that it is all natural and 100% therapeutic grade.
