Cleaning with essential oils

We’ve been talking a lot lately about cleaning with essential oils.

We talked about the 11 essential oils to naturally clean your home with.

I shared with you an essential oil diffuser blend to clean and deodorize your home.

We covered 5 essential oils to purify the air in your home.

And, 15 essential oils to use in the laundry.

But what about washing dishes using essential oils?


Washing dishes with essential oils

As you can see, I love to use essential oils in all areas of my home!

And the kitchen is no exception!

So, how do you use essential oils in the dishwasher?

The best and most efficient way to clean your dishwasher and dishes with essential oils is to add the oils to your liquid dishwasher detergent.

You can either mix essential oils into the bottle of detergent itself, so that it’s ready to go each time you wash.

Or you can simply add a couple drops of the selected oil to the detergent in the detergent compartment before each wash.

The nice thing about adding it directly to the detergent compartment is that you can change the oils you use each load. Whereas if you add it to the bottle, you have to use the same oils each time.
