Eucalyptus Essential Oil Uses:

Keep a bottle of eucalyptus in each bathroom and add 5 drops or so directly into the commode water to instantly freshen the area. The oil remains there until someone comes along and flushes it away. This is a fabulous way to freshen up your bathroom during the day or before company is to arrive.

Whenever shower drains, sink drains, and the garbage disposal begin to get stale, add a few drops to each and the odor immediately disappears.

When rinsing out the garbage can, 5-6 drops are added to a few inches of hot, soapy water on the bottom. Swish it around and it instantly deodorizes the can. Once clean and dry put another 5 drops onto a napkin and toss it into the can prior to lining it. This simple act will keep your trash can fresh between bag changes.

Adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to your hanging car air freshener will help revive it.
