Aromatherapy is the use of pure essential oils extracted from plant parts, including the leaves, flowers, stems, bark, roots, fruits, and even seeds<\/span>. The extracted oils are used alone or combined with other carrier oils, such as almond and sunflower. Aromatherapy, as a practice, is often used in many spas and massage centers, but can also be used for <\/span>cleaning carpets and homes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Using aromatherapy for cleaning has many advantages, including for removing the smell of dirt, grime, and mold, all of which pose health risks to you and your family. By using aromatherapy, you can get rid of\u00a0<\/span>stale air and bad odor that causes nausea and sickness, especially in homes with poor ventilation. <\/span><\/p>\n

To help you get started with this proven effective cleaning method, below are 3 of the best essential oils with fungus and bacterial-killing properties to use for cleaning and disinfecting your home, carpet, and curtains.<\/p>\n

Lemongrass Essential Oils<\/b><\/h2>\n

Lemongrass essential oils are great for deodorizing carpets. We recommend adding a few drops of this essential oil in your preferred carpet cleaning chemical to give your carpet and home a great smell.<\/p>\n

This approach is even better if you prefer green, eco-friendly cleaning. The lemongrass essential oil will combine with the green cleaning chemical to heighten its cleaning effects while prolonging the lifespan of your carpet, rug, and curtains, all without threats from harmful and toxic cleaning chemicals.<\/p>\n

We recommend stocking up on lemongrass essential oil during your next cleaning supplies shop. And if you’re feeling creative, you can make up different solutions for different purposes and rooms in the house to meet future cleaning needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lavender Essential Oils<\/b><\/h2>\n

Lavender has a lot of uses, including its natural anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. Being one of the most popular aromatherapy essential oils, it’s easy to get in stores and relatively cheap too. Using lavender essential oil for cleaning can expose you to a whole new world, one where you spend less on scented candles and mists while incorporating green, healthy, and eco-friendly cleaning practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to its strong, welcoming smell, all you need is a few drops of lavender oil mixed with hot water to create a fantastic natural disinfectant. Your lavender disinfectant mix can be used for all general household cleaning, including wiping down countertops, mopping floors, and cleaning other surfaces in the home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For easy use, we recommend applying the lavender oil mix using a spritz bottle. The solution can also be lightly sprayed onto the pillows and bedsheets, clothing during ironing, or even placed in a diffuser to provide general deodorization and aroma in a room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eucalyptus Essential Oil<\/b><\/h2>\n

Eucalyptus essential oil is a widely used <\/span>natural remedy<\/span><\/a> antimicrobial, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties. Homeowners adopting this essential oil aren’t only adopting green and healthy practices but are also directly contributing to the health and safety of their homes. A few drops of eucalyptus oil, when diffused into the air, can kill germs, relieve cough, clear sinuses, and deliver other health benefits.<\/p>\n

The antiseptic properties of this essential oil is also beneficial in combating bacteria that cause tuberculosis, drug-resistant bacteria causing staph infections, different viruses, and fungi, including Candida.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
