Spring Cleaning with Essential Oils

Although commercial cleaners get the job done, they also introduce foreign chemicals into your living space. We already face so many chemicals surrounding us in our skin and hair care, plastics, and the foods we eat daily that removing them seems impossible. Using just a few items commonly found in your kitchen and some essential oils, you’ll be able to keep your home clean the safe and natural way. Here are two DIY projects that will help replace chemical-based cleaners in the home.
