Interior Recipes

Dashboard, Consoles and Door Panels
Spray bottle
1 cap of Thieves Household Cleaner
2 cups Water

This Cleaner can be used for the entire car. If you have some stubborn dirt spray and let soak for 2-3 minutes then scrub with a gentle brush. Then wipe clean. For a light dusting you can use a damp washcloth/microfiber cloth with 2-3 drops of your favorite Essential Oil and wipe.

Leather Seats
Spray Bottle
1c Distilled Vinegar
1/2c Olive Oil
4 drops Ylang Ylang

Shake and spray on seats the wipe off. I have also used this on the dashboard, doors and steering wheel. I love this oil because it gives a almost fresh linen scent. I have also used this Essential Oil with the damp cloth and just water with the oil to spray on the carpet.

Carpet
Spray bottle
2 caps Theives Household Cleaner
Gentle Bush

Using a Shop Vac, vacuum the floor, then spray the cleaner, scrub with the brush and then vacuum dry. After I am done I will spray a mix of 2c water and 4 drops Essential oil on the carpet. In my work truck I will use some of the more masculine scents such as pine.

After cleaning the car spary inside for a lasting scent. I not only do this but I will place some drops on a cotton ball and place under the seat. Or you can find a reusable car freshener and put some drops of oil in that.
