You know us well, we only use natural organic essential oils for fragrances. Early on in our journey, we said a solid no to synthetic fragrances that pollute our homes and cause serious health damage to people. Children and pets are particularly vulnerable. This is why during our product development we decided to only work with pure ingredients that add a gentle pleasant fragrance without overwhelming your olfactory senses. Read more about just how bad synthetic fragrances can be for your health and the planet.

As we were saying, our non-toxic refillable cleaning products come with carefully chosen, natural essential oils. Not only will these fragrances keep your home smelling like a spa, but we’ve included these oils for functional purposes for their natural antibacterial products, anti fungal and antiviral properties. 

The best essential oils for cleaning house.

Eucalyptus: 

Minty, sharp and pungent. 

The eucalyptus plant and oil have grown in popularity in the last couple of years, and for good reason. It is essential as winter approaches. Eucalyptus oil has antibacterial and antiseptic properties which, will arm you against colds and viruses. It can also help to stimulate your immune system and act as an anti-inflammatory agent. If you can’t be bothered to make your own, try our Bathroom Spray scented with eucalyptus oils, we thought a minty fresh smell in your bathrooms would be perfect.

Lavender:

Floral, fresh and sweet. 

Lavender oil can be directly applied topically to treat common skin problems such as acne, eczema and dry skin. It’s also one of our favourite ways to soothe headaches, cuts and stings. 

Trouble sleeping? Lavender oil is known to be the best natural remedy as it helps with stress and anxiety. Just add a few drops to a warm bath or make a pillow spray. Combine 1 cup of water with 5-10 drops of lavender oil in a spray bottle, shake well. Lightly spray your pillow from about a meter away and drifty sway into the land of lavender fields.

And you guessed it right, it is also a perfect addition to your cleaning routine. Add a couple of drops to our liquid laundry detergent before running a load. It’ll get rid of bacteria from your clothes and add a heavenly natural scent.

Rosemary oil:

Powerful, refreshing and herbal. 

This is another gift from mother nature. It will keep your home safe from bacteria and give you an energy boost. If you don't want to add any more oils to your cleaning routine, diffuse a couple of drops in the morning to help your concentration. Rosemary oil has also been proven useful for hair health. Add a few drops to your shower and watch your hair become thicker and glossier.

Geranium: 

Bold, sweet and floral

Could you tell it’s our favourite? Much like the other oils, geranium is known to have amazing antibacterial properties and it’s the perfect addition to your cleaning routine. Check out the Multipurpose Starter kit that is fragranced with 100% organic geranium oil. Customers have described it as “the Jo Malone of cleaning”. We’ll happily take the compliment!
