Eucalyptus oil is a superhero when it comes to keeping your home clean and fresh! Made from the leaves of eucalyptus trees, this oil has loads of amazing properties like being anti-fungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and a deodorizer all in one. And let me tell you, I'm absolutely smitten with the Bosisto's 100% pure blend from Melbourne, Australia - it's 1 of my go-to’s!

Here are 8 super simple ways busy mums can use eucalyptus oil around the house:

1. All-Purpose Spray: Fill a spray bottle with warm water and add a capful of eucalyptus oil. Label the bottle and shake it up. Spray it on a clean cloth and use it to wipe down surfaces like countertops, tiles, and stainless steel appliances. It's perfect for getting rid of fingerprints and sterilizing toilets!

2. Floor Cleaner: Add 2 caps of eucalyptus oil to a bucket of hot water and mop away! It's great for wooden floors because it doesn't leave streaks or sticky residue. Plus, it leaves your house smelling fresh!

3. Laundry Freshener: Add a cap of eucalyptus oil to your laundry along with your regular detergent. It helps get rid of odors and greasy stains, especially in gym clothes. Works well in both hot and cold water cycles.

4. Sticky Situations: Got sticky labels or gum on hair or carpet? No problem! Apply some eucalyptus oil to a cloth, hold it on the sticky spot for 30 seconds, then wipe it off with a clean cloth. Repeat until it's gone!

5. Relief from Coughs and Colds: Eucalyptus oil is a well-known remedy for congestion. Add 1-2 caps to a bowl of hot water, lean over it, and inhale the steam. For extra effectiveness, cover your head and the bowl with a towel. You can also add it to a diffuser while you sleep!

6. Bed Bugs and Dust Mites: Spray a fine mist of eucalyptus oil on your mattress and pillows each time you change your sheets. It helps clean the area and keeps dust mites away.

7. Pest Deterrent: Pesky critters like cockroaches, ants, and spiders hate the smell of eucalyptus oil. Spray it in corners and places where insects like to hang out, or soak cotton wool in the oil and leave it in strategic spots.

8. Relief for Aches and Pains: Mix eucalyptus oil with equal parts baby oil and rub it on sore muscles and joints. It provides temporary relief from arthritis pain, muscle aches, and soreness from exercise.

With these easy tips, you can harness the power of eucalyptus oil to keep your home clean, fresh, and free from pesky pests, all while taking care of your family's health and well-being!
