Want to add an essential oil? The best options

Essential oils are NOT required ingredients to make effective homemade cleaners, but they can add a lovely scent and beneficial properties.

Here are a few of my favorites and why.

• Tea Tree Oil: Known for its antibacterial properties, tea tree essential oil is commonly used to make natural cleaning products. 
• Peppermint: Adds a fresh, vibrant, minty scent. 
• Lavender: Adds a calming scent. 
• Orange or Lemon: A fresh, citrusy scent. 

What Not To Do

This all-purpose vinegar solution should not be used on natural stone. The acid etches and dulls natural stones such as marble and limestone. Instead, we recommend wiping down these types of countertops with a sponge or dish towel dipped in mild detergent.

Don’t use this solution on electronic screens. Vinegar can damage a screen’s anti-glare properties and even make a touchscreen less responsive,
