The thought of having to spend your Sunday cleaning may not be the most exciting notion, but there are mood-boosting benefits to having a clean home, especially when you bring the power of aromatherapy into the mix. Here are a few common cleaning scents that can help improve mood, boost energy, and create a warm, welcoming, and clean atmosphere within your home.
1. California Orange (Freshness)
With a fresh, uplifting and invigorating aroma, the crisp, clean scent of California Orange creates a refreshing atmosphere. It can help neutralise odours and leave the environment feeling incredibly clean and revitalised.
2. Lemon (Energy Boost)
The zesty aroma of lemon can uplift the mood, reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, and provide a much-needed energy boost for days when cleaning feels like an impossible chore. It's often used to create a positive, joyful atmosphere and to deodorise and purify the air.
3. English Lavender (Relaxation & Sleep)
English lavender, known for its soothing and floral aroma, is a staple in aromatherapy for promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality. Its calming effect can help you unwind throughout and after cleaning your home.

4. Peppermint (Focus)
The crisp, cool, scent of peppermint is known for its ability to enhance alertness and concentration. Its bright scent can help combat mental fatigue and improve focus, making it ideal for times when you need a mental or physical boost.
5. Vanilla (Comfort & Warmth)
Vanilla's rich, sweet aroma (reminiscent of home-baked cookies) is known to evoke a sense of comfort and warmth in many people. This makes it an ideal scent for creating a cozy, soothing, and welcoming atmosphere. Lighting a vanilla-scented candle is the perfect cherry on top of a well-done cleaning job.
