Why does Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil smell like lemon?

The lemon-scented tea tree is a variety of tea tree whose leaves contain aroma compounds that give off a fresh citrus scent. Crush a leaf and you would smell lemon straight from the plant. Because the oil is 100% pure, cold pressed in Australia with no synthetic fragrance added, the aroma in the bottle is the same one already in the leaves.

What is Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil best used for, and how many drops?

Add 5 drops to a load of washing or to your Spray Mop bottle, 2 to 3 drops to the Dish Pump with Dishwashing Liquid for a fresh scent while washing up, and a few drops into the toilet bowl along with a Loo Cleaner Tab. In the Atomiser Spray Bottle use 3 drops maximum, because any more can clog or damage the atomiser mechanism. Always mix well after adding, since essential oils do not dissolve in water-based cleaners. Keep it out of the Foaming Spray Bottle, because its citrus-type aroma compounds accelerate wear on the foaming mechanism. Use Eucalyptus Oil in the foamer instead.

5 drops in a load of washing or in your Spray Mop bottle. 2 to 3 drops with Dishwashing Liquid in your Dish Pump for a fresh scent while washing up. A few drops in the toilet bowl along with a Loo Cleaner Tab.

⚠ 3 drops maximum in the Atomiser

Stick to 3 drops in the Atomiser Spray Bottle. Any more can clog or damage the atomiser mechanism. Shake well before each use, because essential oils do not dissolve in water-based cleaners and will otherwise sit on top.

3 drops maximum Shake before use

⚠ Not in the Foaming Spray Bottle

Although it is not a 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.

No foamers Use Eucalyptus instead

How should I store and handle it?

The oil comes in a glass bottle with a polypropylene (PP) top. Store it in a cool, dry place. Always mix well after adding it to anything, because essential oils do not dissolve in water-based cleaners and will separate out if left to stand. Avoid direct contact with skin in its undiluted form.

Essential oils do not dissolve in water-based cleaners, so always mix or shake thoroughly after adding. Left to stand, the oil will separate out again.

⚠ Avoid neat contact with skin

This is a 100% pure essential oil, so it is strong straight from the bottle. Avoid direct contact with skin in its undiluted form, and keep it out of reach of children.
