Spending the day cleaning the house can be exhausting, especially with those dizzying chemical fumes clouding your mood. The next time you want a clean home without the toxic turmoil, try pure essential oils. Certain essential oils have antimicrobial properties that help ward off germs naturally. A drop or two of Lemon Oil for example, combined with baking soda can free your fridge of smelly leftovers and leave a lemon fresh scent. Try these other essential oil hacks for a clean home and turn spring cleaning into a breath of fresh air.

Squash those sticky counter tops.

1-2 drops of Lemon Oil can help remove clay, crayons or play-doh residue on the walls or tables.

Say goodbye to cigarette smoke.

Ditch the store-bought dryer sheets.
