Deep cleaning, a process of eliminating both visible dust and micro-sized dirt and bacterial particles, is a necessity for every home space once in a while. This form of cleaning ensures that every nook and corner of one’s home is spotlessly clean and well looked after. People generally associate deep cleaning with using strong, chemical-based solutions and cleansing agents. However, one can use some helpful DIY items to deep clean their house. Using essential oils for air freshening A major part of deep cleaning is deodorizing. A house that reeks is almost certainly not very clean. To deodorize, people generally tend to use room fresheners that contain a large number of chemical solutions for immediate results. While such room fresheners are effective, they are also not the most environmentally friendly option. Instead, essential oils such as lavender, rose, hyssop, lemon, vetiver, cedarwood, grapefruit, and myrrh have as many deodorizing properties as any other room freshener. One can mix any of these essential oils with water and witch hazel to create a sprayable liquid. Here’s how to make a strong and environmentally-friendly mix- add a cup of water to a quarter cup of witch hazel, topped by about 5 to 7 drops of any essential oil.
