Greetings from Australia! ☺️ Subscribed as soon as I realised you were the lady from the other video I saw (with your sister and baby, with the roll-on recipes ☺️) Thank you so much for the amazing video content! I’m new to the aromatherapy world! I recently bought A LOT of variety of essentials oils… only to realised after researching, many articles mentioning “less is best” So now I’m trying to educate myself to better understand all these calculations for blending and the unlimited uses of essential oils In saying that, I’m hoping to create my own blends to give away to family and friends as a gift to enjoy and to prevent wastage (on my part) and hopefully they’ll get into aromatherapy with me 🥰

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you 😊

[@teresascott5567]

I absolutely love Doterra oils and making the change has been wonderful!

[@ouroilyhouse]

That is wonderful!

[@patriciawhite6429]

i love simply earth oils! a lot cheaper than Doterra oils. if you sign up for there monthly box you get a bonus box full of containers and some carrier oils and beeswax. it literally has ever container you need for beauty supplies and mixing oils. each box comes with 4 oils and recipe cards with a bonus gift. 35$ a month. i love it.

[@juliebrunet1955]

Thank you! Love these great recipes for cleaning! Is adding peppermint oil ok to the all purpose cleaner? I find it a great deterrent to ants trying to enter our house.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes it is!

[@Wellnessuntamed]

All these years later, are you still happy with these products? I’ve been a Doterra user for years but I have a ton of iron in my water. I have a filter and softener but still struggle with the iron that builds up over time. I have well water but I would love to be able to get rid of the Lysol toilet cleaner. Just wondering if you have had to tweak your recipes at all?

[@rachaelvermeulen]

Hey, just a question on the dish soap! I've been using this hand soap recipe and love it! However I've done a dish soap one and it leaves a oily/greasy residue on my dish after... I think this could be due to the fact we have very harsh water here, so does that nullify the strength of the castile soap? Many thanks, really appreciating your channel!

[@pioneer_home_creations4613]

Definitely going to use these recipes in my daily cleaning routine!

[@goodamericanjeansstylist]

Love the presentation, and rosemary.

[@anilev]

Hello, I'm very excited to try this recepie, but I have a question: 1. Don't the surficies stink like winegar after? 2. The essencial oils are.. well, oily. Don't they leave the surfacies a little oily? Thank you!

[@monikaykataria3838]

Yeah, i also think

This was such an amazing video! I started purchasing doTERRA essential oils in January of this year and they've been working wonders for me! Thanks to Fennel Essential Oil, I never have to pop a Tums ever again! Can't wait to get my house clean next by using essential oils. That multipurpose cleaner you made is definitely one I must try! Thanks so much for this! You're the best! 🙂😉

[@anitaperry7964]

I'm new here and very interested in oils. I don't have very many I have lavender, wal mart Lemon and sweet orange oils. but what I have tried I love. I've been using baking soda and vinegar for a long while to clean with and I love the vinegar with the mother for cooking and for taking and for my hair. Looking forward to more education on the oils. Thanks again for the videos

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you are enjoying my videos! If you are wanting to get more oils in your home, let me know. I sell doTERRA oils and can help you. Super glad you are learning and loving your oils so far. :)

Making all these products great one question what is the most important ones to keep in dark glass bottles as they are quite expensive i have lots of plastic bottles is keeping them in dark cupboard any better if I get glass bottles that are not as large do I just half mixture really enjoying making these natural things makes you feel good

[@ouroilyhouse]

You can use clear bottles if you plan to keep them out of direct sunlight or else they can lose potency overtime. Also essential oils can break down plastic so glass is best!

[@charitystock52]

Its good that your mixing essential oils with vinegar because without them vinegar won't disinfect things all the way.

[@robertolson3115]

If essential oils are natural, then so is kerosene, tequila, and whiskey. They are all derived from a natural source, and have all been processed in a similar fashion. They have the common link of being solvents. They also have common properties such as being antimicrobials. But I don't see anyone touting the benefits of Tequila to kill germs, yet ethanol is exactly what is being used today in hand sanitizers. Nobody touts the benefits of tequila as a cleaner, but it makes a great one.

[@MyGreenNest]

robert olson that’s cause they too busy drinking it

[@tonyamarsh4848]

I don’t use Tequila but Vodka to clean really dirty places like my toilets, tubs, and kitchen counters.

[@montselech]

Because why use tequila when you can used regular alcohol which is cheaper and it doesn't have sugar but you could used vodka. Lots do.

Do you spray the dish soap directly on the dishes or pour a little into the water as normal?

I personally just spray each dish because that's how I normally do dishes anyway. You can put some in a sink of warm water and use it that way as well. Either way works great!

[@shellyk5423]

Just love your KZbin channel. A hint that I learned to making the dish soap and hand soap was to put the water in first then the oils, and castle soap. Then the suds did not spill over the bottle and loose nearly 1/4 of the dish soap. Please keep on sharing your health choices.

I too am on replacing chemicals with natural less toxic products. But what to do with the comical cleaners I still have? I use them why waste resources. Plus in some cases, I can reuse the bottles after a good wash. I found you do have to understand basic chemistry. For example, baking soda and vinegar mixed together not the best cleaning mixture separately they are great. However, you have to take care of what surfaces vinegar is used on
