STEP 12 - SMELLS LIKE MIDDLE SCHOOL

broken image

You send your students outside to run around during recess or to sweat during that gym class basketball tournament.

Then they come back and raise their hands when you ask a question.

Talk about a recipe for ODOR disaster, especially if you teach MIDDLE SCHOOLERS!

Not only is a stinky room unpleasant for you, but yucky odors can make it tough for other students to concentrate.

It might be tempting to douse your classroom in air freshener spray or add a wall plug-in to every socket, but these products just mask odors. Even worse, they contain countless toxins and chemicals.

All you need is a diffuser and three to five drops of the CLEANSING BLEND to neutralize even the most unpleasant smells naturally and safely. If you don’t have a diffuser, you can make a room spray with a two-ounce glass spray bottle, water, and fifteen drops of this oil blend.

The CLEANSING BLEND has an airy, refreshing aroma that will be sure to banish foul orders with its fresh, woodsy scent. It contains Lemon, Siberian Fir, Citronella, Lime, Melaleuca, and Cilantro.

PRACTICAL USES:

• Diffuse to purify and freshen the air.

• Freshen smaller rooms (or a car) by placing a few drops on a cotton ball and putting it into the air vent.

• Add five drops to a small spray bottle filled with water and use to wipe down counter tops.

The CLEANSING BLEND smells fantastic, but it isn’t the only Essential Oil you can use as an air freshener. It’s fun to experiment by diffusing your favorite scents or trying out different DIY room sprays. Like these!
