How to use lemon oil

Lemon oil is one of my favorites for keeping things fresh and for allll the DIY natural cleaning solutions!

DIY cleaning solutions 

Conventional cleaning solutions can contribute to indoor air pollution, can irritate your lungs, and cause allergy-like symptoms. Long-term use of conventional cleaning products has been linked to an increased risk of cancer. Making your own DIY cleaning products is simple, affordable, and made with safe ingredients - for you, your family, and your pets (who are family too!).
