Did someone say it’s spring cleaning time? Spring is finally here and it’s time to throw open your windows, let some fresh air in, and tidy everything up. Don’t forget to add these to-dos to your list:
Pack away your heaviest winter clothes and blankets for next year.
If the weather has shown signs of warming up, make a laundry date! Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to some detergent and give all your heaviest winter items a good wash. Then pack everything away in vacuum-sealed bags, tubs, or chests.
De-funk your exercise equipment.
Spring cleaning isn’t just about making sure your house is neat and tidy. Take some time to give your workout gear a nice scrub to get rid of bad odors and germs. Clean your rubber-coated weights and yoga mat with this awesome Eucalyptus + Lavender mat spray, and give those stinky sneakers a refresh with a spritz of Eucalyptus!
Give your carpets a spot treatment.
After opening all the windows and letting the light in, you may have noticed a few spots on the carpet that you didn’t see before. No worries! Eucalyptus oil is a great stain remover. Mix ¼ cup of the oil with 1 cup of water and shake to make a spray that safe for the carpet. After testing it on a small area, spray and leave on the spot for a minute or so, then scrub away.

Life is stressful and hectic, so when you come home, you expect to relax and be rejuvenated. Essential oils can help you do that; and the best way to use them is with a diffuser. Diffusers disperse the oils into the air, permeating the room and providing with you their benefits continuously. They’re the best way to help you live a better, healthier life.
So, here are nine perfect reasons you should have an essential oil diffuser:
9 Undeniable Reasons to Have an Essential Oil Diffuser
1. Sleep
Sleep prepares you to tackle tomorrow, but you can’t do that if you don’t sleep well. So, run your diffuser throughout the night with essential oils such as lavender to help you fall and stay asleep. You’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready for another day.
2. Freshen the Air
Essential oils are known for their potent, fresh aroma. Just choose the scent you want to fill the air. Diffusers are also healthier alternatives to name brand air fresheners, which fill your home with harmful chemicals. Instead, essential oils bring health benefits and provide long-lasting aromas. Two birds, one stone.
3. Stay Healthy
Keep your home healthy and happy by diffusing essential oils such as eucalyptus, peppermint, and citrus. These oils purify the air by eating up bacteria, protecting your home from illness, and boosting your immune system.
4. Safer than Candles
Candles can pose a fire hazard if left unattended. Prevent these types of disasters by using an essential oil diffuser instead. And besides being safer, essential oils don’t use chemicals like candles, leaving you with a healthier atmosphere.
5. Mood Enhancing
While essential oils and aromatherapy are known for their relaxing scents, there are also several oils that can be used to boost your mood. Oils like lavender and citrus oils can be diffused to energize a room and give it life, such as an office to help you work, or a weight room to get you ready for a big workout.
6. Mental Focus
If you want to be more productive, diffusing essential oils in the air can improve your cognitive function. In fact, using oils like eucalyptus and peppermint regularly can actually help heal causes of poor mental focus.
7. Prevent Snoring
Another reason to leave a diffuser on overnight is to help your significant other not wake you with their snoring. Eucalyptus oil clears passageways and improves breathing, which will prevent snoring and allow you to sleep better.
8. Allergy Relief
It seems that everyone has some kind of allergy these days. Allergies can cause watering eyes, scratchy throats, congestion, among other things. But diffusing essential oils such as eucalyptus and peppermint can relieve these symptoms with their potent aromas and ability to clear sinuses.
9. Relieves Stress
One of the greatest benefits of a diffuser is creating a stress-free home. Menthol and lavender are two of the best oils to help you relax and decompress after a long day. You can make any room your escape with these oils and a diffuser.
