How do I use post meal-prep cleanup in a diffuser?

Add Rosemary 3 · Lemon 2 · Lavender 2 · Basil 1 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 rosemary?

Swap rosemary for eucalyptus or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: eucalyptus is strong, cool and wide open.

When is the best time to use post meal-prep cleanup?

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

Post meal-prep cleanup · Rosemary, Lemon, Lavender blend

Meal prep done, and the kitchen is full of onion and garlic. Rosemary leads with green herbs, lemon and lavender split the middle, bright and gentle, and a single drop of basil adds a sweet-spicy accent. Turn on the diffuser while you wash the cutting board and wipe the stove. Mix a little into a spray bottle to wipe the fridge after stacking your containers.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
