Lemon. Well there has been much talk about the wonderful antiseptic & antioxidant properties of lemon. Everyone loves the clean fresh scent of lemons!
Lemon essential oil is cold pressed from the lemon rind. (requires 3000 lemons to produce a kilo of oil!! ~from The Essential Oil Desk Reference)Lemon has the ability to act as a cleanser and natural solvent making it superior for naturally cleaning and disinfecting the home. It works great, just 1 drop to remove gum, crayon, glue and adhesive.
Some other great ways to use lemon essential oil are; 1 drop in a glass of tap water to purify, 1 drop rub between hands as a hand sanitizer, 1 drop in a bowl of water, soak your dishcloth overnight to clean and freshen, can be used on canker sores, cold sores & common colds, great in a diffuser to increase alertness and decrease mistakes~ making a great choice to diffuse in schools & offices!
These are just a few of the ways you can use lemon essential oil. Keeping a small bottle in your pocket or purse will allow you to use it when needed. As with the other citrus oils, avoid direct exposure to skin for 12 hours after use on body.
I make my own general purpose house cleaner: 1 cup filtered water. 1 cup white vinegar, 4 drops lemon, 4 drops peppermint. Works great on countertops, bathrooms and even mirrors!!
