You can also enhance your cleaning with essential oils!

Essential oils can be diffused to freshen the air, naturally deodorize any space, and enhance your cleaning products!  Adding a few drops of essential oils such as Lemon, Pine, Purification®, Tea Tree and of course Thieves or Thieves Cleaner or your DIY cleaners is great way to improve your home cleaning.
These are some of our favorite oils to add to your cleaning routine.  Tell us your favorite oils to clean with below!
