Cleaner Air at Home If you have a smoker at home here's a tip for you.
Essential oils are effective air cleaners.
They actually combine with and change the
air particles, Not just cover things up as
artificial air sprays do. Diffuse essential oils
on a regular basis and you'll notice a huge difference.
Here's a recipe to get you started or try one of your own.
6 Spruce
6 drops Orange
6 drops Lemon
