100 Uses for Essential Oils

Best practices for cleaning with

essential oils

Cooking with essential oils is easier than you think.
When you’re ready to start using essential oils in
the kitchen, here are a few best practices to keep in
mind as you get the hang of it.

• A little oil goes a long way, so it’s best to start with
a single drop of oil.

• The amount of oil you need will depend on the
type of cleaning you plan to do. Use less oil for
simple jobs like cleansing surfaces and more oil
for stains, scrubbing, or sticky and greasy messes.

• Test a small area before cleaning with essential
oils to see how the oil reacts with the surface type:
wood, fabric, granite, and so on.

• As you would with store-bought cleaning
products, practice responsible storage and keep
oils or homemade essential oil cleaning agents
out of reach of children.

• When using homemade essential oil cleaning
agents, always shake well before using to mix the
oil with other ingredients, as the oil will probably
separate after sitting in the cabinet for a while.
