Easy DIY ‘Lemon Spritz’ Cleaner Recipe
Our DIY cleaner recipe is perfect for refreshing the home and for those who prefer natural and non-toxic cleaning.
In a spray bottle, combine the distilled water, white vinegar and drops of SOiL Organic Lemon Essential Oil. Shake well before each use.
For stubborn greasy surfaces, allow spray to sit for 5-10mins before wiping cleans.
For tough grime, first throw on a little bicarbonate of soda then spray, creating an abrasive cleaner. Wipe clean with a warm damp cloth.
Organic Lemon Essential Oil: Made from the peel of the Citrus Limium variety, this lively oil with its refreshing citrus aroma is highly antiseptic, making it useful in treating wounds and infections. Can be used in the home to clean and deodorise.
Please note that All SOiL essential oils are intended for external use only. Unless otherwise advised by a medical practitioner. Do not use undiluted on skin. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. If sensitivity occurs discontinue use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medications or under medical supervision seek professional advice before use. Please keep out of reach of children.
SOiL advocates the responsible use of essential oils. We grow and source the finest quality essential oils from around the world to supply you with pure, potent plant extracts for aromatic and therapeutic applications. Essential oils are many times stronger than the plants they are derived from and are far more concentrated than the herbal tincture extracted from the same plant.
Accordingly, we recommend that you avoid oral use/ingesting pure essential oils without seeking professional advice beforehand. The issue is not the quality of the essential oils you take orally – there is no such thing as a ‘therapeutic grade’ of essential oil nor is one brand of essential oils safe to ingest over another brand. The issue is safety and even though essential oils are 100% natural, plant-derived extracts, they are botanical medicines which have the potential to cause harmful side effects when taken orally. Essential oils should only be prescribed for oral use in a clinical setting, by a suitably qualified practitioner.
There are many methods of obtaining the aromatic and therapeutic benefits of essential oils, namely; inhalation, massage, skincare preparations, bath and compress. If you require individual advice on oral use/ingestion or in relation to a specific medical condition, we recommend you consult a qualified practitioner, as described above.
