How to use Eucalyptus essential oil in glass spray bottle for cleaning

by sng creations 22 Jul 2023

Using eucalyptus essential oil in a glass spray bottle for cleaning is an excellent way to take advantage of its natural antibacterial and antiviral properties. Eucalyptus oil is also known for its fresh and invigorating scent, making it a great addition to your cleaning routine. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Ingredients and materials you'll need:

  1. Eucalyptus essential oil (100% pure and natural)
  2. Distilled water
  3. White vinegar (optional, for extra cleaning power)
  4. Glass spray bottle (preferably amber or dark-colored to protect the oil from light)
  5. Funnel (optional, but it makes pouring easier)
  6. Microfiber cloth or other cleaning cloth

Instructions:

  1. Select a suitable glass spray bottle: Choose a clean glass spray bottle with a capacity of at least 16 ounces (473 ml) or more 500ml is Ideal. The size will depend on how much cleaning solution you want to make.

  2. Prepare the essential oil mixture: The typical ratio for a basic eucalyptus cleaning solution is 10-20 drops of eucalyptus essential oil per 1 cup (240 ml) of water. If you want to enhance its cleaning power, you can also include 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 120 ml) of white vinegar. The vinegar helps to cut through grease and grime, but it is optional if you prefer a milder scent.

  3. Add the essential oil to the bottle: Use a small funnel to help you pour the eucalyptus essential oil into the glass spray bottle. Begin with the recommended number of drops based on your chosen ratio. You can adjust the number of drops to your liking, but be cautious not to add too much, as essential oils are potent.

  4. Add water and optional vinegar: Fill the spray bottle with distilled water, leaving some space at the top for easy shaking. If you're using vinegar, add it after the water. The vinegar may create a slight reaction with the oil, causing some cloudiness, but it won't affect the cleaning power.

  5. Mix the solution: Gently shake the spray bottle to mix the ingredients. Avoid shaking too vigorously, as this can create excess foam.

  6. Label the bottle: To avoid any confusion, label the spray bottle with its contents and purpose, such as "Eucalyptus Cleaning Solution."

Tips:

  • Always use 100% pure and natural eucalyptus essential oil to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
  • Perform a patch test before using the solution on any delicate surfaces to ensure it doesn't cause damage or discoloration.
  • Avoid spraying the solution on sensitive electronic devices or screens, as the liquid could damage them.

Usage: Use your homemade eucalyptus cleaning solution just like you would use any commercial cleaner. Spray it on countertops, sinks, bathroom surfaces, and other areas that need cleaning. Wipe with a microfiber cloth or cleaning cloth to remove dirt, grime, and bacteria. The eucalyptus essential oil will leave behind a pleasant and refreshing scent, making your space feel clean and revitalized. Plus, its natural antibacterial properties will help keep your home sanitized and fresh.
