Remove Grease Stains with Lemon Essential Oil

Everyone in the family gets a grease stain on their clothing sooner or later.  French fries, butter, bacon, even suntan oil or face creams can leave a grease stain on your favorite shirt or pants.  No matter what the grease stain is it can probably be removed.  However, you must act quickly!  Pop a few drops of lemon essential oil on the grease stain, gently rub the essential oil in and watch the stain start to break up, now just throw it into the wash.  Always check the garments when you remove them from the washer to insure the grease stain is totally removed.  If it is gone, you are all set to just dry the garment as you normally do.  If you see that any part of the grease stain remains, repeat with a few more drops of lemon essential oil, massage the oil in and rewash.  Before drying be sure the stain has been totally removed. 

Peppermint Essential Oil will Do Away with Spiders

Did you know that spiders hate the smell of peppermint? Using just a small amount of peppermint essential oil can motivate them to find a new home.  Mix 15 drops of peppermint essential oil and a cup of water in a spray bottle.  Shake well and spray around your house (inside and out) where spiders hang around or enter the house.  Ideas of where to spray are around baseboards, doors, windows, porches, all corners etc.  We caution you to use this spray sparingly.  Do not saturate drywall or carpets.  You don’t want to get them wet and cause other problems.  The smell of peppermint will encourage the spiders to move elsewhere.
