Here are a few different homemade cleaners I have on file that incorporate Eucalyptus oil and can be used to freshen and clean your home, just in time for Spring Cleaning.

Floor Cleaner

  • Add 1 tablespoon of liquid castile soap to 1 gallon of hot water and 1/3 cup Borax. Mix in 1/4 tsp to 1/2 tsp of Eucalyptus oil.

All Purpose Cleaner

  • Mix 1/2 cup vinegar with 1 cup hot water, add 1/8 tsp liquid dish detergent (nothing with bleach), 6 drops Eucalyptus oil. Pour into a spray bottle and shake before each use.

Soft Scrub Cleaner

Baking Soda
Liquid Castile Soap
Eucalyptus Oil

  • Mix baking soda and liquid castile soap until you have a smooth paste (some water can be added), stir in a few drops of the Eucalyptus oil. Take a damp sponge, dab into the paste and use to scrub over stained areas. Wipe off with a damp, clean cloth.

Kitchen Spray Freshener

  • Fill a small spray bottle with lukewarm water and add 3 drops Eucalyptus oil (ratio is about 1 drop oil to 4 ounces water). Shake. Use on freshly washed surfaces as a fragrant rinse. Store away from sunlight.

Linen Spray Freshener

1/2 cup Distilled Water
1/2 cup Vodka
10 drops Eucalyptus oil

  • Mix ingredients and pour into a spray bottle. Shake before use.

Eucalyptus Freshener Spray
*Can be used on carpets & upholstery

2 cups Distilled Water
20 drops Eucalyptus Oil

  • Mix and pour into a spray bottle. Shake before each use. Can be used as an air freshener, a carpet or upholstery spray. Test a small area first for fabric discoloration and do not spray on wood surfaces.

Garbage Pail Deodorizer

  • Mix 4 teaspoons Eucalyptus oil with 4 cups of baking soda. Store in an airtight plastic container. After cleaning garbage can, sprinkle a handful of baking soda mixture on the bottom (once dry).

Tub Scrub

1 cup Baking Soda
15 drops Eucalyptus oil

  • Mix the baking soda and oil well then scrub onto bathroom tub and sink with a damp sponge. Leave sit for a bit before rinsing off with clear warm water.
