The Best Essential Oils for a Clean and Healthy Home
Are you worried about using harsh chemical-based cleaning products in your home, and the harm it can bring to your health and the environment?
We used to believe that the harsh chemical smell meant that our homes were really clean, but many cleaning supplies or household products can irritate the eyes or throat, or cause headaches and other health problems. Some products release dangerous chemicals, including VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which are chemicals that vaporize at room temperature. Studies also link exposure to chemicals from cleaning supplies to occupational asthma and other respiratory illnesses.
But there is another choice for deep cleaning your home, effectively and naturally with MadeKind Natural Cleaning Products. Essential oils are a game-changer for cleaning your home. MadeKind eco-friendly products can clean as well, if not better than commercial chemical cleaners using natural surfactants and essential oils. Not only do essential oils have powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties that can kill germs and leave your home smelling fresh and naturally clean, but they can also break down grease and grime with ease. And the best part? You're in complete control of what you're putting into your home, keeping your family and your pets safe with biodegradable cleaners.
As well as cleaning your home effectively, using natural cleaning products with essential oils will also improve your indoor air quality and create a healthier living space. At MadeKind, we infuse our cleaning products with the natural, refreshing blend of Rosemary, Lavender and Peppermint, not only to leave your home smelling fresh and clean, but also to empower you with the confidence that comes from knowing you're making a positive impact on the planet with every cleaning decision. Read on to explore the amazing benefits of using essential oils in your MadeKind cleaning products, and discover how you can make the switch to a natural, non-toxic cleaning solution.
Rosemary
Rosemary essential oils are perfect for use in cleaning products for your home as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties that can help kill infection-causing bacteria, viruses, and fungi and odor-causing bacteria in surfaces. Rosemary oil is a natural degreaser that can help dissolve and remove grease, grime, and stains from surfaces, all while protecting surfaces from damage caused by free radicals (which can contribute to aging and degradation of materials) with its antioxidant properties. Not only is rosemary oil remarkably effective in cleaning your home, but it is also non-toxic, biodegradable, and skin-friendly (for both pets and humans) making it safe for both the environment and human health.

Lavender Oil
Lavender oil is a powerful and versatile natural ingredient that can elevate the effectiveness of cleaning products. Its antimicrobial properties make it an excellent disinfectant, capable of killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi, which is particularly beneficial in humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Additionally, lavender oil's insect-repelling properties can help deter mosquitoes and moths. Beyond its practical uses, lavender oil also boasts a range of therapeutic benefits, including its ability to soothe and soften skin. The calming scent of lavender oil creates a peaceful atmosphere, transforming your home into a tranquil sanctuary. Furthermore, lavender oil acts as a natural preservative in cleaning products, ensuring they remain effective over time.
Peppermint Oil
Peppermint essential oil is a multi-faceted natural wonder that offers a range of benefits for your home and health. Its antimicrobial properties make it an effective natural disinfectant, capable of killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The invigorating scent of peppermint oil leaves your home smelling fresh and clean, while its natural insect repellent properties help deter ants, spiders, and other pests. Additionally, peppermint oil can lift and remove stains from surfaces, making it a great addition to cleaning products. Its antibacterial properties have been shown to be effective against various types of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli, making it an excellent choice for hand sanitizers and all-purpose cleaners. Furthermore, peppermint oil can help prevent the growth of mold and mildew on surfaces, making it a valuable asset for cutting boards, countertops, and other kitchen areas. It can also be used as a natural glass cleaner, leaving no residue behind. For a natural air freshener, peppermint oil can be added to air fresheners, diffusers, or room sprays. Best of all, peppermint essential oil is an eco-friendly alternative to harsh chemical-based cleaning products, making it a great choice for those who prioritize the environment.
