Citrus essential oils are known for their impressive cleaning abilities, and have long had ties to immune strength and resilience. If you’re looking to replace some of your cleaning products with natural solutions, then you might want to try incorporating citrus oils into your cleaning routine.

Ingredients:
- 200ml vinegar
- 1 tbsp baking soda

You will also need:

- Pour in the water and mix carefully.
- Add in the essential oils. Mix everything together.

- Spray onto hard surfaces and wipe with a damp cloth to leave them smelling amazing!
