While any essential oil can be used, the guide recommends using peppermint, spearmint, lavender, clove, lemon, or orange. You simply combine your oil of choice with baking soda - and ideally, it should be stored in an airtight spice jar.
"Baking soda is a natural cleaning agent, while essential oils add a pleasant scent and can enhance the cleaning properties of the mixture," Jennifer explains, noting that the optimal combination is 15 drops of the preferred essential oil with a third of a cup of baking soda.
The guide begins with a recipe but progresses through to potential applications - from using the product as a weed killer to its benefits as a sink scrub. Baking soda can also be used as a carpet freshener, Jennifer writes, noting that it should be left to sit for 20 minutes before vacuuming to help neutralize odors.
Jennifer states: "I love to use baking soda for natural cleaning because it's effective on dirt, grease, grime, and germs without the toxic smell of store-bought cleaners. Scented baking soda with essential oils takes it to the next level. It's so simple to do and you get double impact - the baking soda benefits and the essential oil benefits."
Loving Essential Oils offers a wide range of guides and how-to articles for anyone wanting to use essential oils more frequently, with recipes for bath salts, tips for beginners, and safety advice - such as the importance of dilution, and the benefits of creating a daily routine and building consistency of habit for optimal effectiveness.
