Six Essential Oils to Keep “Calm” Around a Little Longer
(For That Fresh, Peaceful Feeling That Lasts Beyond Cleaning Day)
You know the moment: The house is quiet. The floors are gleaming. The counters are bare. The air smells like lemon and lavender, and for the first time all week, you take a deep breath that feels like yours.
That’s the magic of a clean home.
But what if that feeling didn’t have to disappear two days after your cleaning service?
At Delmi’s Cleaning Services, we believe your space should feel like you—fresh, calm, and ready for whatever the day throws your way. One of the best ways to keep that vibe going between visits is by using essential oils.
Here are six of our favorite oils to help your home feel clean, cozy, and completely refreshed—naturally.
🍋 1. Lemon – Your Everyday Fresh Start
Lemon oil is a go-to for brightening both your home and your mood. It’s crisp, energizing, and helps banish lingering kitchen smells.
Try this:
Mix 10 drops with white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Use it on countertops, garbage lids, or anywhere that needs a quick refresh. It’s like a reset button for your space.
💜 2. Lavender – Wind Down Without the Wine
Whether you're folding laundry or prepping for bedtime, lavender oil helps soften the edges of your day. Its calming scent turns your home into a retreat.
Try this:
Sprinkle baking soda mixed with a few drops of lavender onto rugs or mattresses. Let it sit, then vacuum for a subtle, calming scent. Bonus: It makes your whole bedroom feel like fresh sheets.
🌿 3. Tea Tree – The Quiet Powerhouse
Tea tree oil doesn’t scream for attention—but it works hard behind the scenes. Great for those tucked-away spots that collect moisture or funky smells.
Try this:
Blend with vinegar and spritz around bathroom tile, sinks, or windowsills to keep things fresh between cleanings.
🌱 4. Peppermint – Energy in a Bottle
When you're juggling a hundred things, peppermint oil is a little burst of clarity. It’s clean, uplifting, and perfect for those afternoons when you're just trying to get through it.
Try this:
Add a few drops to cotton balls and tuck them under the sink or behind the trash can. The scent is a subtle reminder that you’re still in control—even when life feels messy.
🌬️ 5. Eucalyptus – Spa Day for Your Senses
Eucalyptus is perfect for turning your home into a place that breathes with you. It clears the air—literally and emotionally.
Try this:
Add a few drops to a bucket of warm water before mopping. The scent will linger just long enough to make your floors feel more like a spa than a task.
🍊 6. Sweet Orange – The Cheerleader
Sweet orange oil is that friend who brings sunshine, even when the laundry’s piled up. It’s perfect for lifting your spirits and refreshing your space in one go.
Try this:
Use it in your diffuser during busy mornings or before guests arrive. It sets the tone—bright, welcoming, and totally put-together (even if you’re not).
Here’s the Truth...
Essential oils won’t clean your home. That’s what we’re here for.
But they can help you hold onto the feeling a little longer. The calm. The control. The comfort of knowing your space is yours again.
If life has been non-stop lately (and when isn’t it?), consider this your permission to take the load off. Let Delmi’s Cleaning Services handle the baseboards and stovetops—so you can focus on what actually matters.
