Benefits of Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil, one of nature's most useful and important oils, was first researched in 1923 by Australian Chemist, Dr. A.R. Penfold. He found that the essential oil had antibacterial and antiseptic properties 13 times stronger than the accepted standard of the time! In 1930, the chemist published an article that stated that Tea Tree Oil's disinfectant action was sixty times greater than that of ordinary hand soap. By the 1940's Tea Tree Oil was issued in first aid kits for army and navy personnel!

As a household cleaner, Tea Tree Oil's antiseptic and antibacterial qualities make it a safe, natural, and effective choice. It is very tough on mold and mildew and has the power to dissipate (within a few days) any nasty odors.

All of Clean Freak's products contain Tea Tree Oil, with the highest concentration found in the Kitchen and Bath Blend. Don't let harsh chemicals and toxic fumes do your dirty work anymore! Clean Freak's products are derived from all natural sources and capitalize on what nature was intended to do!

Essential Oils vs. Fragrance

Essential Oils work as rubbish collectors, attaching themselves to toxins, free-radicals, cell debris, heavy metals, renegade cells, fungi, bacteria, viruses or other debris and taking them to the exits for disposal. The human body takes the most vital properties of essential oils and uses them to bring itself into balance and is left in a healthier state.

Fragrance oils work completely different on the human body. The difference between essential oils and fragrance oils can best be described by a comparison of a real slice of orange to a piece of orange candy. The real orange has health benefits for the body and comes directly from nature. The color, shape, flavor, scent, taste and vitamins come directly from nature. It was designed to nourish our body as well as provide vitamin C with vast health benefits.

A piece of orange candy gets it’s sweetness from sugar, shape from gums, is artificially flavored and colored, has no health benefits what so ever and actually can be bad for our health. An essential oil is an orange and fragrance oil is a piece of orange candy. The body gains nothing of value from fragrance oil because this man-made substance was only created to duplicate an aroma. Whereas the essential oil a function of a plant to protect, heal and pollinate life. The hormonal, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral property of a plant is captured in the essential oil and the human body is able to use the plants vital energy to benefit itself.

New Scent Just For Baby!

Introducing Clean Freak's Baby Care Blend! This particular blend is especially suited for babies with two different types of Chamomile as well as soothing Lavender. The addition of Tea Tree Oil helps keep babies' toys disinfected and ready for play! This new cleaning blend is wonderful for wiping down changing tables, highchairs, or any other "baby" surfaces in your home.

Shake it up!

Just a quick note, because Clean Freak is an all-natural product (meaning there are no SYNTHETIC ingredients) you might find that a line will develop near the top of the bottle. This line is due to the settling of the essential oils. Because Clean Freak does not add chemicals to stabilize the oils (which many cleaning products do in order to preserve shelf life) simply shake the bottle before each use to redistribute the oil.

Why Clean Freak?

I can't decide if I'm a Clean Freak or not. Does wiping under your children's placemats while they're still eating a bad sign? It's not that I want to rush them, I'm just tryiing to make my job a little easier by cleaning a little at a time rather than waiting for the whole tornado to blow through. Ever since I had kids I don't think I've ever seen more dirt from shoes, cracker crumbs, and sticky handprints in my life. By the time we eat breakfast, emtpy our toy bins, eat snack, read all our books, eat lunch, play one more round of "pirates" and "princesses" my little ones are pooped and ready to nap. And, so am I. However, I know that when they finally drift off to Neverland my other job begins: CLEANING UP! Oh how I wish this wasn't so. I mean, truly, if only I could snap my fingers or rub my tummy, or SOMETHING, ANYTHING, to make the mess go away, my life would drastically change. Like, I could actually find time to read a book, or finish a phone call, or maybe even just SIT and STARE AT THE WALL!

I could go on, but that's just a waste of vital energy! Instead, I do clean up, I do wipe down the counters, dust the tables, clean the windows, amd scrub the sticky fingerprints. And for a moment in time (time just enough for those little angels to wake up) I feel like I actually completed a task! But, us mommies know the rest of this story: kid wakes up. kid gets hungy. kid gets snack. kid makes a mess. MOMMY CLEANS AGAIN!

So, here's our defense ladies: Clean Freak. It's every mother's answer to that dreaded task of cleaning. While it may not take away our job, it at least gives us something back....(and it won't take 18 years!). Just imagine yourself spraying your all-purpose, non-toxic, biodegradable, "GREEN" cleaning agent on all your surfaces: wood, marble, granite, glass, stainless steel, and all of a sudden you are at a Day Spa getting your toes done and your neck massaged at the same time? Ok, so that might be a bit of an overstatement. BUT, with every spray, you could be smelling scents like Lavendar, Lemon, Orange, Peppermint, and fresh Ginger. Ahhhh.....nice. Somehow those fingerprints aren't too sticky....and, oh, wait, there's something else I see that could use a spray, and rice from last dinner over there, and Jack's red marker on the window over there.....what else needs cleaning? "Hey, kids! Time to make a mess! Mommy wants to CLEAN some more!" Just think of it as nature's gift to us: AROMATHERAPY! It's nature's way of saying "Thank You" to all us of moms out there. Stressed? Tired? Wired? Smell it all away and don't waste one precious minute as you "rehabilitate" your mommy soul!
