How Do Essential Oils Work in Cleaning Products?
Many essential oils have antimicrobial properties, which means that they can kill bacteria, viruses, and fungus. Essential oils are mixed with other natural products such as distilled water or white vinegar to create cleaning products that are free from chemicals. Natural cleaning products that utilize essential oils work better than the chemical cleaners you buy at the store and they are safer to use around the house.
Some essential oils are also great at removing stains and grease. Essential oils all have different properties. Those that work as degreasers are great for dishwashing detergents and others with antimicrobial properties are perfect for use in the bathroom and kitchen where germs are a big factor.
Why Should I Use Essential Oils to Clean My Home?
If you are still trying to decide whether or not you should use natural cleaning products with essential oils in your home, we’ll give you a few more reasons. Essential oils work better than other cleaners, don’t contain any harsh chemicals, smell great, and they are better for the environment.
No Harsh Chemicals
Using essential oils to clean your home allows you to forgo cleaners that contain harsh chemicals. Because certain essential oils can disinfect and sanitize, you don’t have to use products like ammonia or bleach. You can also skip the chemical cleaning products for degreasing and stain removal. Essential oils can help you clean your home without the use of any harsh chemicals at all.
They Work Better
Natural cleaners with essential oils actually work better than chemical cleaning products. The natural essential oils can kill bacteria, fungus, viruses, and can degrease and remove stains better than the products that contain a list of long chemically-based ingredients.
They Smell Great!
We can’t forget one of the biggest reasons that we love cleaning with essential oils — they make your home smell fantastic! When you don’t use chemical cleaners, you are not left with that pungent odor. You’ll find that when you clean with natural cleaning products that use essential oils, you won’t need to open your windows to air out your home while you’re cleaning.
They’re Better for the Environment
Using essential oils in natural cleaning products is also better for the environment than using chemicals. When you rinse out cleaning clothes or mops, wash the dishes, or clean the tub and sink, cleaning products go down the drain and will eventually end up in the environment. Wouldn’t you rather be washing a product down the drain that came from nature? Our planet sure wishes you would.
How to Choose the Best Essential Oils
Choosing the best essential oils can be tricky. Many companies dilute essential oils with other carrier oils to save money. These oils will cost less, but remember, when it comes to essential oils, you get what you pay for. You want to find essential oils that are pure. Many companies will label their products “natural”, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t contain other ingredients. Coconut oil, canola oil, and other carrier oils are natural, but it doesn’t mean you want them in your essential oils. The only way to know for sure if the product is pure, is to check the ingredient list on the bottle. The only ingredient listed should be your essential oil or extract.
At White Glove, we use only high-quality, pure essential oils in our cleaning products. When we clean your home, you’ll be able to smell, see, and feel the difference, every single time. Learn more about our all-natural cleaning services.
The Health Benefits of Essential Oils
Another reason that we love cleaning with essential oils beyond their exceptional cleaning capabilities, is because they also have other health benefits. When we clean with lavender, orange, lemongrass, and other essential oils, you’ll not only notice the difference in the cleanliness of your home, but the fragrances may also have health benefits. If having a clean home doesn’t make you feel calm and relaxed, the scent of essential oils in your home sure will.
Improves Anxiety and Depression
Many essential oils such as lavender, vanilla, and lemongrass are known to reduce anxiety and depression. The fragrances have also been used medicinally for their calming and relaxation effects.
Relieves Headaches and Migraines
Essential oils such as peppermint and lavender have been shown to relieve or reduce headache pain. Imagine using cleaning products that relieve your headaches rather than give you one with that harsh chemical smell.
Improves Quality of Sleep
Lavender essential oil is well-known for promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality. Other essential oils such as vanilla may have similar effects, but lavender is the most studied.
Enhances Mood
It turns out orange essential oil isn’t just good for removing grease from your dishes but is also known to be a mood enhancer. Having the aroma of orange oil in the air can make people happier.
Boost Energy
While some essential oils make you feel relaxed and calm, other oils such as peppermint oil are known to give you a boost of energy. This can also help encourage a happy mood.
