Therapeutic-grade orange essential oil consists of about 85-96% d-Limonene. Limonene is an efficient cleaning agent which is promoted as being environmentally friendly and preferable to petroleum distillates – who wants to use products that are cancer causing anyway!? The smell of Young Living Orange and Peppermint essential oils is considered much more pleasant than what is used in store-bought cleaners and air fresher products (because they are higher quality and super pure).
This easy recipe for making your own air freshener spray is terrific for those who enjoy being more ‘Green’ and eliminating toxic chemical air fresheners from their home. Make two bottles of this recipe, one for the kitchen and another for the bathroom to dispel stinky odors and kill unwanted germs.
How Smart is This

There are 250 drops of essential oil in a 15ml bottle. Using essential oils in recipes is not only eco-friendly it saves you a lot of money over the course of the year!
