Easy peasy lemon squeezy

A little bit of Lemon oil goes a long way in creating a clean slate!

Whether you’re tackling indoor traffic or battling bad odors, Lemon essential oil’s zesty aroma can shed sunshine on the situation.  Its invigorating scent is like the perfect rush-hour playlist—light, bright, and energizing!

  3. Infuse your laundry with the citrusy freshness of a lemon grove by adding 5-8 drops to the rinse cycle when washing clothes and towels.
  4. Use Thieves® Household Cleaner [lemon is a main ingredient!] to get every part of your home sparkling.
  5. Banish hard-water buildup by tackling it with a paste made of baking soda, a little bit of water and Lemon essential oil.
  6. Dreaming of stainless steel without syrupy fingerprints? Add 3 drops Lemon to a damp rag and polish those appliances to perfection!
  7. Did you or a loved one sit in some sap while on your great-outdoors getaway? Combine a drop of Lemon with a drop of V-6 oil and work it into that sticky spot.
