defrosting the fridge

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · code BL-2405


Defrosting the fridge, wiping every shelf, and old food smells come drifting out. Camphor and geranium run side by side, cool-spicy and green rose, while tea tree leaves a clean green note. Mix this bottle into the water you use to wipe the outside of the fridge and the counters, then put a few drops in the diffuser. Never put essential oils inside the fridge, where food is stored.

How it unfolds

On opening. Camphor (icy, strong and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

Safety

Skin irritant

Camphor can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use defrosting the fridge in a diffuser?
Add Camphor 3 · Geranium 3 · Tea Tree 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of camphor?
Swap camphor for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.
When is the best time to use defrosting the fridge?
Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.
