How do I use post-holiday fridge purge in a diffuser?

Add Lemon 5 · Tea Tree 3 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 lemon?

Swap lemon for sweet orange or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.

When is the best time to use post-holiday fridge purge?

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Post-holiday fridge purge · Lemon, Tea Tree blend

The fridge after Tet, the Lunar New Year, is stacked with leftovers. Lemon leads bright and tea tree closes green and clean. Toss the old food, wipe the shelves with warm water, then add the blend to a damp cloth to wipe down the door and handles outside. Run the diffuser in the kitchen and the space smells fresh and clean again.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.
