doTERRA Vacuum Cleaner Tips
By gwendee1
Enjoy the aroma!
- Vents and air ducts:
- Drip several drops of your favorite essential oils on a tissue and place it in the collection bag of your vacuum. This will diffuse a pleasant odor as you clean as well as kill germs that are often found and disseminated as you vacuum.
- Change your air return filters often, and when you do, drip 10 drops of your favorite sanitizing essential oil to reduce pathogens, lesson allergic responses to duct air and to kill fungi and mold in duct work.
- Consider: On Guard™, Citrus Bliss™, Purify™, Oregano, Peppermint, Cassia.
