It’s always pleasant to walk into a room that has a wonderful fragrance—a non-toxic scent that won’t harm you and can actually do a lot of good. Various essential oils can add flavor to every room in your house. 

Kitchen 

The kitchen is an area we like to have nice and clean—and smell that way, too. Lemon, of course, fits the bill, as does orange. Lemon Essential Oil is antiviral and antifungal, and it cleans and disinfectsOrange Essential Oil also has antibacterial properties, a natural disinfectant that also invigorates body and mind. If you’re looking for a cozy feel around the holidays, try cinnamon. To get rid of cooking smells, put a few drops of lemon essential oil with water in a spray bottle, then shake and spray. 

Living Room 

If you’re heading to the living room for some rest and relaxation after getting home from work, a few drops of Vitality Extracts Stress Away Blend can uplift, relax, calm, and regenerate. It’s a blend of Bergamot, Sweet Orange, Ylang ylang, Pink grapefruit, and Patchouli.  Calm Essential Oil Blend is another great choice to relax the body and mind. It combines Mandarin Oil, Lavender Oil, Tangerine Oil, and German Chamomile Oil.

    GREAT info!!! Thank You! What oil is good to get rid of Spiders?

    • CS TEAM

      Thank you for inquiring about a spider repellent using essential oils! We have a basic recipe for great spider repelling sprays! The most common essential oils used for repelling spiders are listed below along with instructions on how to make your own spray using one or more of the essential oils listed:

      • Lemon oil
      • Orange oil
      • Tea tree oil
      • Lavender oil
      • Peppermint oil

      5-10 Drops of any of the above essential oils, such as peppermint oil, or a combination of the oils
      3-4 drops Dish Soap
      16oz Water
      Directions

      Mix all the ingredients in a glass spray bottle and spray affected areas weekly until you no longer notice spider activity. Make sure to avoid eyes when spraying the affected area. We recommend using an amber colored spray bottle as essential oils should be stored in the dark to retain their potency.
