Could you use some fresh scents in your bathroom? Loving Essential Oils offers a guide to using aromatherapy recipes and essential oil blends as a natural, environmentally-friendly way to keep your bathroom smelling cleaner.
I'm always excited to read about new ways to use essential oils as a natural, eco-friendly alternative to highly toxic household chemicals and abrasive synthetic cleaners. So I was thrilled to see the folks at Loving Essential Oils put out their aromatherapy guide to the best oils for diffusers or sprays in bathrooms!

To help keep your stinky bathroom fresh, they've included a handy list of the top rated essential oils with cleansing, antifungal, antibacterial properties, such as lemon, pine, tea tree, peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, orange and grapefruit.
As with their previous guides, the Loving Essential Oils team is committed to teaching you about how essential oils can be used for day-to-day health and wellness.
Recent research from the Journal of Medicines (Basel) shows that certain essential oils carry significant antimicrobial properties, with implications for their use in a wide range of environments. With the recognition that bathrooms tend to be an area of your home that sees heavy usage and is at risk for bacteria growth, guide from Loving Essential Oils is designed to help you maintain good hygiene while enjoying the benefits of aromatherapy.
“Bathrooms get hammered with some really funky odors and you want to make sure they smell as fresh and clean as possible,” explains a spokesperson. “Essential oil blends can help make this space a pleasant place!”
You'll find a Top 10 list of essential oils that are especially effective for bathroom cleaning and aromatherapy, with a short commentary on the qualities of each oil. I had no idea that lemongrass, for instance, is powerful deodorizer, while spearmint is kid-friendly and can relieve queasiness!
The Loving Essential Oils team also discusses the benefits of using diffusers, versus homemade sprays or toilet drops. The guide shows you how to make use of expired oils that are no longer fit for topical or internal use, but can be repurposed as bathroom air fresheners.
With step-by-step guidance, the guide offers several DIY recipes for you to try at home, including a “Spring Bathroom” diffuser blend with lemon, grapefruit, and peppermint, and a “Bathroom Freshness” mix made from eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree. Several deodorizing spray recipes are included as well.
If you're like me and go crazy over natural cleaning products, you're likely to enjoy the “Sink, Grout, and Tub Scrub” made from pine, tea tree, and lavender essential oils, as well as baking soda, vinegar, and castile soap.
