Peppermint & Cleaning go hand in hand!

Here are some great ideas to help you go green while you clean with peppermint!

  1. Freshen up your microwave by putting about a 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract on a damp cloth and wiping down the inside of you microwave.
  2. Take a clean spray bottle and put in a tsp or 2 of peppermint extra, then fill with water. Then spray where needed as a "air freshener"
  3. When done washing your kitchen cutting boards, give them a few sprays from your spray bottle to help deodorize and clean them.
  4. As peppermint is a natural cleaning agent, use a damp rag with some peppermint extra on it to wipe down the baby's high chair or toys etc.

Yes, I enjoy washing dishes!

You are most likely saying "is she out of her mind?" I have always enjoyed doing the dishes. I find it relaxing and calming. I guess it is the water movement and the time I have to think about things as I doing the dishes. I usually take this time to think and reflect on certain things that are happening.

My dish washing experience has gotten even more relaxing and calming for me as I have discovered a little trick to help me enjoy it even more. I now add a few drops of my Watkins All Natural Peppermint Extract.

Your Cat & Peppermint Extract

I was doing some research on cats as I have one and I love learning new things to spoil and help him stay in great health. I came across a site that suggested that instead of giving your cat a bath especially in this cold, rub some peppermint extract on them. This will help eliminate any odors. It also stated if you are bringing home a new kitty, try this so that it hides the smell of the new cat.

I found this very interesting, hope you do to!

Another great way to enjoy the benefits of this fantastic product is to apply and rub it across your forehead and along your temples to help relieve your headache pain.
