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!
Staff favourites: Welcome Home Synergy, Citrus Dream Synergy & Lighten Up
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.
Staff favourite: Natural Home Synergy, Lavender & Rae-Drs Remedy Synergy
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!
Staff favourites: Lavender, Geranium & Cape Chamomile
LAVENDER LULLABY
1 C filtered water
10 drops Lavender Oil
Gently sake in a mister bottle and spray over linens and pillow 30 minutes before bed.
