These awesomely common (and nearly endless) household uses for Lemon essential oil are soooo good that I couldn't help but share a few! I've compiled a list of some of the best. Enjoy!
1. Dreaming of stainless steel without those everlasting fingerprints? Add 3 drops of Lemon to a damp cloth and polish to perfection. I just love doing this on high traffic surfaces to extend that glossy, clean appearance.
2. Gum or toy slime in your child's hair? Work it out of their locks with 1-2 drops of Lemon oil. Yes, really! I found it to smell better and work faster than the ice and peanut butter method.
3. Have you just discover your little artist has left a loving trail of crayon drawings all over the walls...again? A little lemon oil goes a long way in creating a clean slate. I add a couple of drops to a cloth and buff away the marks.
4. Battle greasy stovetops, counters and microwaves with a mixture of Lemon and vinegar. Mix about 20 drops with 1 cup of white vinegar in a glass spray bottle and then add about a cup of water. Spray those greasy surfaces and swipe clean.
5. Do your linens smell like "storage closet"? Infuse your laundry with citrusy freshness by adding 5-8 drops to the rinse cycle when washing clothes and towels.
6. Meet your mid-day slump at work with a cold glass of water infused with a few drops of nature's citrus pick-me-up. This calorie-free treat will brighten your day! I also love adding Lemon and Thieves to hot water with honey for a soothing tea.
7. Put an end to hard-water buildup by tackling it with a paste made of baking soda, a little bit of water, and Lemon essential oil. Watch this powerful DIY Scrub soak it clean off!
8. Use a few drops of Lemon as needed to dissolve pesky stickers and marks on dishes or toys. This works for chalk pens, scuffs and permanent marker on glassware.
9. Snuff out stinky smells by placing a Lemon-infused cotton ball in the refrigerator, toilet paper roll, closet corner, car or the trash can – try it taped to the lid!
10. Add a little more pep to your step and clarity to your stroll outdoors by adding two drops each of Lemon Vitality, Peppermint Vitality, and Lavender Vitality oils to a vegetable capsule. This is worth trying!
