DIY Bathroom Freshener

The idea of making your bathroom smell like a “Spring Breeze” or “Berry Blossom” may be delightful to you, but often those seemingly innocent names for commercial air fresheners are deceptive given the harmful effects that can occur from being exposed to them. Instead of freshening your bathroom with artificial fragrances that contain toxic chemicals, freshen your bathroom naturally with essential oils using this easy tip.

Materials: All you need is a roll of toilet paper and your favorite dōTERRA essential oil or blend.

Directions: When you take out a new roll of toilet paper, add 2-3 drops of essential oil to the cardboard middle. It will then automatically freshen your bathroom every time it is used.

Suggested Essential Oils:

Geranium

Citrus Bliss

Grapefruit

Elevation

Lavender

Lemon

Tub and Tile Cleaner

6 drops Melaleuca

6 drops Eucalyptus

1 cup white vinegar

4 tsp castile soap *

Glass Spray Bottle *

Combine ingredients in a glass spray bottle *. Shake well and spray generously on tub and tile. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes and wipe clean.

Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Melaleuca – Baking Soda – White Vinegar

You can clean your toilet with very inexpensive ingredients you have laying around the house. The fact that they’re green and natural is a big plus too, I think. This is a cleaner you would use for a deep clean about once a month. If you’re like me and use the toilet bombs the rest of the time. I use the toilet bombs about every other day.

Powder Grime Cleanser

Lemon

Bathroom Freshener

Elevation – Lavender – Citrus Bliss

Soft Scrub Cleanser

This is a nice soft scrub cleaner for your bathroom sink, toilet and shower. It won’t scratch your bathroom fixtures, it will get them clean and it will save you some money and you’ll be cleaning green too. It’s a win win situation. I think you’ll love this essential oil bathroom cleaner.

Powder Cleanser

With this powder cleanser you don’t have to scrub for hours on your hands and knees. Very little work is required with this cleaner. You just sprinkle some of it on whatever surface your are cleaning. You let it sit for 15-30 minutes then come back later and wipe everything clean.

Sounds easy doesn’t it? I haven’t tried this but I’d like to know if it works. Have you tried it? I’d think with the course salt * in this you wouldn’t want to use it on anything that scratches easily. You can use an old parmesan cheese container with the holes in the lid. It makes a good inexpensive container.

You can put the mixture in through the large hold with a spoon or funnel and sprinkle it out the smaller holes. One of those large empty spice bottles would work too. They  would be easier to get the mixture inside of the spice bottles too.
