Who wouldn’t want to live in a home that’s sparkling and clean and smells divine? Well, the thing is everyone wants to have a clean home but not everyone has time – and correct tools – to do thorough cleaning. This means that in almost every home in Hong Kong we can find cleaning products that are packed with chemicals that can harm your family and even your pets.

Here at HoPE, we’re all about bringing the goodness of nature to your home. That’s why we’re giving you an all-natural cleaning hacks using essential oils. You’re on your way to making cleaning time a relaxing time as well.

Why Use Essential Oils for Cleaning?

Essential oils are used in many products as fragrance. So when you use it around your home, your family would certainly love to come home to the fresh and inviting aroma it will create.

Aside from its aroma, more and more households are switching to homemade cleaners with essential oils because of its health benefits. You too can enjoy the health benefits of essential oils simply by inhaling the aroma while cleaning with it. The list of health benefits of essential oils could go on and on but the most common health benefits you can get when cleaning with essential oils are:
  • Boost energy
  • Increase focus and concentration
  • Stabilizes mood
  • Maintains hormonal balance
  • Improve circulation
  • Support respiratory health
  • Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral
If you think that cleaning with essential oils would cost you a fortune, then you are wrong. It seems pricey when you look at the price of a 10 ml bottle of an essential oil against 250 ml of a home cleaning agent. But what you don’t realize is that you would only need a few drops out of that 10 ml bottle to clean multiple areas of your home. And a few drops from the same bottle of essential oil can also be used in your diffuser or add to your favorite carrier oil or cream to enjoy the aroma and health benefits to your body. The bottom line is that a 10 ml bottle of essential oil goes a long way. It could even last for months!
