Essential oils for laundry care

• invisiblechef 16 years ago
  Most common and their benefits.
  
  
  Cedar : adds a clean scent
  
  Peppermint and Eucalyptus : good for colds and sinus problems
  
  *Rose geranium: good for sheets, very romantic
  
  Sweet Orange: Helps with removing stains, and whitening laundry.
  
  Tea Tree : anti fungal and antibacterial. Great for washing underwear and socks.
  
  Lavender : pillow cases, as it's very relaxing.
  
  Lemon: another whitener
  
  * also Ylang-ylang and Jasmine.
  
  You can add the essential oils by mixing 10 drops to 1 cup of baking soda which by the way is a natural water softener. Or during really stinky times add a few drops of essential oil to 1 cup of vinegar. I use this method a lot during salmon season, as my 'salmon towels' get really bad. But when I use the vinegar rinse during the rinse cycle all the smell is gone.
