Best Smelling Essential Oil Blends
Everyone likes a fresh and clean smelling home, right? But there are many odors that can linger in a home. Sometimes they are not even noticeable to the people in the home, but visitors will definitely smell the bad aromas.
Recently cooked foods like fish, fried foods and broccoli odors seem to hang around forever. I personally like the smell of broccoli but not every one does (my hubby).
Got pets? Sometimes pet odors permeate the home too.This is never pleasant to smell when visiting someone's home. Especially a wet dog smell, yuck!
There may even be a musty smell if there is lack of airflow in a room... my boys bedrooms come to mind here.
No need to fear, essential oils are here to get rid of the funk!
Best Essential Oils for Home
Essential oils are a great way to keep your home smelling clean and fresh. Different essential oils have different scents, so you can choose the oils that are best for your needs and desires.
Lavender oil has a light, floral scent, while eucalyptus oil has a refreshing, mentholated smell. Each oil has unique benefits that can improve your overall wellness. Try using a combination of different oils in your diffuser to create a custom blend of scents for your home.
Here are some essential oils to combine together: sandalwood, rose, ylang ylang, clary sage, geranium, jasmine, neroli, patchouli, petitgrain, roman chamomile, vetiver, clove, frankincense, cardamom, and many more.
