I use essential oils every day, especially for solid surface cleaning. I make my own fabric softener and laundry detergent and generally put a few drops of lavender EO in those products for the lovely, clean smell it leaves. Tea Tree EO helps both DH and I if we get itchy scalp, adding a drop or two in our shampoo. It’s also great for bug bites diluted with a carrier oil. Of course always do a skin patch test 24 hours before trying EO on your skin because they are potent! You don’t want to make things worse if you are allergic 😮

If anyone is interested, here’s the all-purpose cleaner I make with EO’s:
1 capfull Thieves EO
5 drops Lemon EO
5 drops Purification EO
24 oz. water
Put all in spray bottle and top off with white vinegar. Shake well before using.
