What would you do with unlimited access to all the amazing natural products and essential oils at Rae Dunphy Aromatics? Well, we're spilling the beans on our favourite tips and tricks! Here is the first instalment of the 'RDA Staff Secrets' Series. We hope you enjoy these as much as we do!


VACUUM LIKE A BOSS

Place 5 drops of your favourite  essential oil or synergy on your vacuum’s filter before vacuuming and reapply as needed depending on the size of your home. Not only do all essential oils have anti-microbial properties that will clean the air, your entire house will smell divine!

SPARKLING STOVETOP

Having trouble getting rid of caked-on oil and grease on your stovetop, hood and backsplash? Try placing a few drops of soap grade  lemon or orange oil with a dash of baking soda right on the stains. Use a dish scrubber and have your kitchen sparkling in no time!

HANDY HAND SANITIZER

30-60 drops of essential oil or synergy

120ml  Glycerin base

Mix well and transfer to a travel sized squeeze bottle (a  massage bottle with a polylok cap works great) or pump bottle for the home or office.

LOVEABLE LAUNDRY

FABRIC SOFTENER

Add 1/4 C -1/2 C of distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle of your wash. This will naturally soften your clothes, reduce lint, reduce static cling and prevent colours from fading!

REUSABLE DRYER SHEETS

Place 2-3 drops of your favourite essential oil or synergy on a piece of scrap fabric and add to dryer. Reload and reuse fabric scrap with essential oil for each load. Clothes, linens and towels will come our smelling fabulous!

ProTip: Great way to re-purpose those lone orphan socks!

IRONING AROMATHERAPY

If you iron your clothes and use a mister bottle with water, try adding a couple drops of your favourite essential oil or synergy to the water. Shake gently before spraying and not only will your clothes smell great, you’ll get your aromatherapy dose for the day!
