Why Use Essential Oils for Cleaning?
Essential oils like lemon, tea tree, and eucalyptus have antimicrobial, antifungal, and deodorizing properties, making them ideal for natural cleaning. A 2018 study in Microbial Pathogenesis confirmed that oils like tea tree combat bacteria, while a 2019 study in Journal of Environmental Science noted their eco-friendly benefits over chemical cleaners. Aroma Luxe’s oils, sourced for purity, provide a safe, sustainable alternative for a sparkling, fresh home.
