Cleaning Benefits of Lemon Oil

by Shannon Lush from LUSH HOUSE · 1 minute read

Lemon oil is extracted from the oil in lemon peel. Here are some of
Shannon's favourite uses of lemon oil:
Furniture polish
It is a really good penetrating oil and combines very well with beeswax to make an
excellent furniture polish.

Insect inhibitor
It’s also a good natural insect inhibitor for example, if you want to keep spiders out
of your home, wrap some pantyhose around the head of a broom, add a couple of
drops of lemon oil (or alternatively rub a lemon directly over the pantyhose) spread
it evenly over the broom head with your hand and then extract the cobwebs with
the broom, making sure you touch the walls as you go, so the oil is transferred
! around the house. Spiders won’t like it and will stay outside.

Inexpensive citronella candle

Put two drops of lemon oil in the well of your candle. When you light the candle
" and the well warms up, the smell will permeate the surrounding air and the
mozzies and flies will stay away.
