There’s a laundry list of lemon oil uses, which is why I think that it’s one of the top essential oils to keep in your home. Here are some of my favorites:
1. Natural Disinfectant
Want to steer away from alcohol and bleach to disinfect your countertops and clean your moldy shower? Add 40 drops of lemon oil and 20 drops of tea tree oil to a 16-ounce spray bottle filled with pure water (and a little bit of white vinegar) for a traditional cleaning favorite.
This natural cleaning product can be used to kill toxins and bacteria in your home, especially in places like your kitchen and bathroom.
2. Laundry
If you ever leave your laundry sitting in the washer for too long, just add a few drops of lemon essential oil to your load before drying and your clothes won’t get that musky smell.
3. Wood and Silver Polish
A lemon oil-soaked cloth (with about 10 drops of oil) helps spruce up your tarnished silver and jewelry. Lemon oil can also be used for cleaning wood.
4. Dishwasher Detergent
Use my Homemade Dishwasher Detergent with orange and lemon essential oils to keep your dishes clean without using chemicals found in conventional detergents.
5. Goo-Be-Gone
Un-stick the sticky goo your kids leave behind with stickers and gum with lemon oil. Just add 3–5 drops of lemon oil to a damp washcloth.
6. Clean Hands
Got greasy hands from working on your car or bike and regular soap isn’t doing the trick? No worries — just add a couple drops of lemon essential with your soap and get your clean hands back!
7. Teeth Whitener
Mix lemon essential oil, baking soda and coconut oil and rub the combination on your teeth for 2 minutes before rinsing.
8. Face Wash
Lemon essential oil can be used on your skin to improve your complexion and leave your skin soft and supple. Use my Homemade Face Wash that’s made with lemon, lavender and frankincense oils, or simply combine 2–3 drops of lemon oil with baking soda and honey.
9. Nail Polish Remover
Try this DIY Nail Polish Remover that’s made with acidic essential oils like lemon, grapefruit and sweet orange. Not only does it remove your old nail polish, but it works to protect the health of your nails at the same time.
10. Promote Fat Loss
Add 2 drops of lemon oil to a glass of water 2–3 times daily to support your metabolism and promote weight loss.
11. Improve Your Mood
Diffusing about 5 drops of lemon essential oil at home or work can help lift your mood and fight depression.
12. Boost Immune System
To boost your immune system, kill bacteria and support your lymphatic system, mix 2–3 drops of lemon essential oil with a half teaspoon of coconut oil and rub the mixture into your neck.
