  This cleanser cuts through dirt fast and leaves behind a clean, unmarred finish -- plus the scent of citrus which can freshen even the most stale of kitchens. Using a small food processor, process the baking soda and borax until smooth. Add the essential oil and process further until smooth and free of lumps. Store in a glass or heavy plastic airtight container. To use, dampen dirty area. Put on gloves to protect your skin and nails. Scoop up Citrus Surface Cleaner using your chosen cleaning utensil (an old rag, paper towel, etc.) and clean the area until sparkling. Use more mixture for stubborn stains, less for minor stains.  
 
 

Lemon Cutting Board Cleaner

  
 
   Ingredients:  
  Click on the ingredients for more information.   
  1 drop Lemon  
  1 drop Tea Tree  
  1 tbsp table salt  
  1/2 cup lemon  
 
 
This easy cleaner is helps keep wooden cutting boards freshened and sanitized.
 
  The lemon and essential oil sanitize the board while the abrasive action of the salt cleans it. If you use your cutting board for raw meat, get into the habit of doing this after each use. Never use the same cutting board for fresh fruits and vegetables as is used for raw meat. Sprinkle salt onto cutting board. Squeeze a little bit of it onto the salt. Add the essential oil directly on top of the salt/juice mixture. Hold the lemon half in your hand, flesh side down, and scrub the fragrant salt thoroughly over the cutting board. Be sure to get all the nooks and crannies. Repeat as necessary. Rinse the board under warn running water and set in drying rack to dry before storing. This will make your kitchen smell great too!  
 
 

Lemon Furniture Polish

  
 
   Ingredients:  
  Click on the ingredients for more information.   
  1/4 tsp Lemon Organic  
  1 tsp Balsam Peru  
  1/4 tsp Orange Sweet  
  1/8 tsp Thyme White  
  1/4 tsp Grapefruit Pink  
  1/4 tsp Lemongrass  
  8 ounces Jojoba Carrier Oil  
  1 ounce beeswax  
 
  This furniture polish is all-natural and leaves your wood beautifully finished. It also disperses a fresh fragrance throughout a room any time of year. Measure the the beeswax and jojoba oil into a Pyrex measuring cup and place the cup into a bath of boiling water. When the wax is nearly completely melted, remove the cup from the water and stir the ingredients to thoroughly combine. Allow the mixture to cool for about 1 minute before adding the jojoba oil and virgin coconut oil and stirring to ensure the mix. Add the essential oils next and stir well to combine. Pour into a wide-mouthed jar so you can easily dispense it. To use, apply the mixture a little at a time to clean furniture surface using a soft wool or cotton cloth. I like to use worn dish towels because they are very soft and pliable. Some people do not like the oiliness of oil/wax polishes. If you are one of them, spritz the wood surface once or twice with natural apple cider vinegar before polishing. This will "cut" the oil a little bit and it also enhances the shine. The vinegar smell dissipates quickly.
