You may have added essential oils to your diffuser to make your home smell divine, or added something to your relaxing before bed routine.
But Duvander says they can also work as super effective cleansers while the scent gives your mood a boost.
“Instead of inhaling chemicals, inhale scents of lemongrass, sweet orange and pine. This allows you to take advantage of the benefits, which include promoting relaxation, relieving headaches and tension, and the oils can even act as a natural air deodorant to kill from airborne pathogens like the common cold virus, “she says.
The scientific consensus on essential oils continues to evolve, but there is research to support Duvander’s claims.
If, like me, you have doubts that something like lavender can work as well as Jif or Handy Andy in cleaning your home, Duvander says the products have been tested by commercial cleaners.
“The quality is there, we’ve run tests on the products on the road, including a blind test on our laundry detergent against brands that use chemicals, and we know ours removed the dirt
and stains alike. The range is also used by commercial cleaners who have commercially tested the range over the past 18 months, “she says.
As for Dunvander’s favorite oils?
“My first favorite was definitely lavender, the smell is lovely and I love the natural benefits, but now I love all the different oils from kawakawa to ylang ylang to bergamot.”
She hopes the products could help kiwifruit reduce toxic levels in their homes without sacrificing sparkling surfaces.
