I wanted to do a little cat-walk with the oils and highlight their effective and very fantastic qualities. These are just a few of the oils that I chose to highlight. Most ALL of the oils have cleaning properties. I sourced my info from "MODERN ESSENTIALS" book, that I normally call the Bible for essential oils. It really is a must have book.
LEMON—antiviral,
antiseptic, uplifting, antifungal, antioxidant, astringent, invigorating
WILD
ORANGE—antiseptic
antifungal, antibacterial, disinfectant, antidepressant
PURIFY— antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral,

MELALEUCA—antibacterial, antifungal, anti-infectious, a strong antiseptic, antioxidant, immune stimulant, insecticidal
PEPPERMINT—antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral,
invigorating, anticarcinogenic
ONGUARD (contains: Wild Orange, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus radiata, Rosemary)—antibacterial, antiseptic,
antifungal, antiviral
LAVENDER--antifungal, antihistamine, anti-infectious, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antitoxic
These oils are so powerful that when we clean with them, they need to be stored in glass spray bottles, or containers. I get my glass spray bottles from aromatools.com. They are a couple of dollars and very worth the money. I personally have a bottle for a glass cleaner, dust mites, bathroom cleaner, counter cleaner, and I would say that that is the bare basics if that were all that you would order, about 4 bottles. It is always fun though to have a spare bottle to make a new kind of cleaner trying out new oils. I have been enjoying the 8oz or 16oz size of amber bottle. The 32oz is a little heavy when full, so I would end up only filling it up half way. You have to order the spray nozzle separate from the bottle and in total they are still under $2 a piece. If you want to make sure that you order exactly what you want I would order over the phone. Their contact info is below.
If you are local I did buy extra bottles when I went to aromatools if you would like to save shipping.

DeleteLove this! I see your recipe for glass cleaner above. What about your countertop cleaner? Does it kill little nasties like bacteria from raw meat juices, and sneezes from colds?
