Dale’s Top 5 Garage Picks For Essential Oil Uses

These Are My Top 5 Uses For Essential Oils

1- Cleaning Tools

A dirty slippery tool can be dangerous if not cleaned once in a while.

First, get yourself a clean rag. place 5-6 drops of Lemon essential oil in one spot then rub on the spot you wish to clean. lemon will remove grease and grime, add more Lemon oil as needed.

2- Cleaning Paint Brushes

Soak paint brushes in lemon, and vinegar, to remove and help paint. Depending on the paint type and how long the paint has been there this may not remove it all. 

It’s always good practice to wash out your paintbrush when you a done painting.

3- Removing Adhesive

Removing a sticker from an item you just purchased from a store or received in the mail always seems to leave a sticky residue. Here is a neat tip I found, place a drop of Lemon essential oil on it and rub around the sticky will come loose. If the item is plastic, wash it with soap and water, the essential oil will damage the plastic if left on too long.

4- Multipurpose Cleaner

12 drops of lemon oil

4 TBSP white vinegar

and water in a 16 oz spray bottle

5- Degrease Hands

Once again Lemmon oil to the rescue. Place 2-3 drops in the palm of your hand with your favorite soap, rub your hands together, and rinse with water, repeat if needed.

The Lemon will help cut grease because of the acidity. if your hands get iritated just use some hand lotion after.
