What is Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil best used for?
✓ Best spots
2 to 3 drops in the Dish Pump with Dishwashing Liquid for a fresh scent while washing up. A few drops in the toilet bowl after a Loo Cleaner Tablet dissolves. Also fine in the Atomiser Spray Bottle at 3 drops max.
⚠ Not in Foaming Spray Bottle
Despite not being true lemon oil, Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil shares some of the aroma compounds that give citrus oils their scent. Those same compounds accelerate wear on the Foaming Spray Bottle mechanism, so keep it out of the foamer. Use Eucalyptus Oil there instead.
