The Power of Scent

The Power of Scent

Studies show that scents can have powerful effects on people. If you’re in need of a pick-me-up, try sniffing citrus. The smell of the vitamin C-packed fruits has been shown to boost energy and alertness, and studies have revealed that lemon scents in particular can reduce stress and leave a positive impression on others. Scents and smells can be used to our advantage since they can have a direct impact on the nervous system and the biochemistry involved in the sympathetic and parasympathetic responses. (Fight or flight vs. a calm, ready and regulated state).

Stay away from chemical and artificial based products, such as artificial air fresheners, cleaners, candles, perfumes, and sprays...stick to essential oils to support the olfactory system in a healthy way. Our Koala Eco All Natural Dish Soap and Kitchen Multi-Purpose with pure Australian Lemon Myrtle and Mandarin Essential Oil is pure citrus bliss and packed with powerful cleaning power.

Lemon Myrtle provides the world’s richest source of citral, a liquid found in citrus fruits that offers potent antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal properties. in addition to its fresh smelling scent, Lemon Myrtle is a powerful and safe option to chemically fueled kitchen surface sprays.  “It’s a common belief that nasty molds and bacteria such as Aspergillus Niger, E. Coli, Salmonella and Listeria that reside in kitchens, require a hard surface spray to be killed. Lemon Myrtle has been proven to kill the types of bacteria that lurk in kitchens, which is why we have used it as the primary ingredient in our Koala Eco All Natural Dish Soap and Multi-Purpose Kitchen Cleaner.

Mandarin Oil is also known for its first class cleaning qualities, Mandarin Oil also acts as an effective detergent, deodoriser and disinfectant.  In addition to being supremely effective in repelling common household bacteria, Mandarin Oil is also known for being the most calming and uplifting essential oil, which is why we decided to combine it with the Lemon Myrtle into our dish soap and multi-purpose kitchen cleaner

Our dish soap and kitchen multi-purpose spray are tough on grease leaving your pots and pans sparkling your hard surfaces disinfected and your hands soft and scented. No toxic chemicals here just pure goodness with our biogradable naturally derived ingredients. You can feel confident that while you’re cleaning your dishes or kitchen it is safe, effective and may even brighten your mood. Allow the duo of citrus in our Lemon Myrtle and Mandarin to lift your spirits and infuse your home. Use Dish25 at checkout for 25% off of our dish soap this week only.
