Using Essential Oils to Safely Freshen Your Home
Are essential oils safe to diffuse?
Moms, before you reach for essential oils to freshen your home, make sure they’re of the highest quality available.
Look for oils that have been carefully produced and thoroughly tested. The company I trust for non-toxic alternatives is dōTERRA, which puts its essential oils through a rigorous testing process for contaminants and other substances that could compromise the oil’s safety or quality.
Not only that, they actually test the air, water, and surfaces in their facilities for mold, bacteria, and other contaminants. Talk about above and beyond!
High-quality essential oils go through extensive testing to ensure safety and purity. When used in the right amount, they can be safely used at home.
They offer a natural and pleasant scent that will make your home smell amazing without the risk of toxins.
Why do I choose dōTERRA essential oils?
It can be hard to trust the products you are bringing into your home. With dōTERRA essential oils, I don't have to worry. Their essential oils are rigorously tested, from source to you, to ensure their purity. No contamination or adulteration of any kind is allowed!
One more reason I find dōTERRA amazing is that not only do they provide non-toxic excellent products, but they are also committed to helping harvesters and farmers around the globe by providing fair wages and long-term partnerships.

How to diffuse essential oils
Using essential oils in a diffuser is one of the easiest and most effective ways to freshen your home without using harsh chemicals or synthetic scents.
Diffusers use water and electronic frequencies to create a fine mist that disperses your essential oil of choice into the air.
All you need to do is add water and essential oil to your diffuser and turn it on! In a matter of minutes, your home will be filled with pleasant scents that are both natural and healthy.
How can I control the strength of the scent?
With essential oil diffusing, you can control how long you diffuse, as well as the strength of the aroma.
If you're looking for something a bit more intense, simply add a few more drops to your diffuser. If you prefer something more subtle, fewer drops or an intermittent mist setting should do the trick.
dōTERRA essential oils are incredibly potent and come in different natural fragrances, so you can find one that fits your needs perfectly.
And the best part is, even when used daily, your dōTERRA essential oils will last for months!
What essential oils are best for eliminating home odors?
If you're looking for a natural and safe way to get rid of stubborn odors around the home, try citrus oils such as
Wild Orange or
Lemon.
Not only do they have a refreshing scent, but they can also be used to eliminate smell in different places. You can easily purify and deodorize your home.
For a refreshing scent that will make your house smell like new, I use
dōTERRA's On Guard® or
Purify oil blends. These purifying oils work great for deodorizing!
I also diffuse
Air-X for extra cleansing of the air in my home.
Check out these essential oils to naturally freshen your home:
Cassia - Strong and spicy aroma; perfect for creating a refreshing aroma in your home even in small doses.
Geranium - Sweet and floral aroma; gives off a calming effect when diffused aromatically.
doTERRA Balance® - Sweet and woody aroma; perfect for creating a tranquil environment.
Eucalyptus - Cooling vapor and strong purifying properties; advantageous for the skin and can be used to cleanse surfaces and the air.
