Eucalyptus Oil - Australia's Natural Wonder

Contrary to popular belief, the leaves used to produce eucalyptus oil are not the same leaves that koalas eat. Koalas are fussy: from the 850 pieces of eucalypt that exist in Australia they will eat four or five, none of which produce eucalyptus oil used commercially.

Tips to use eucalyptus oil:

• Vacuum cleaner - a few drops on the filter of the vacuum cleaner and the same in clothes dryer. The warm air sends a lovely eucalyptus aroma through the house. 
• Central heating and air conditioning - wash filters in soapy water then rinse with clean water and put a few drops of eucalyptus oil on the filter. 
• Ceiling fans - clean the fan from built up dirt and dust

• Whiteboards - use a few drops of oil and wipe clean with a damp cloth. It removes permanent texta marks. 
• Child care centres - damp oily cloth removes daily grime of paint and play
• Office or workplace - computer keyboard, mouse, desk, chair, tools can be cleaned from germs and bacteria
• Pain brushes - oil paints brushes can be restored by soaking them into in diluted eucalyptus oil. 
• Chewing gum - harden gum with ice (in a plastic bag) then scrape it off. Apply oil and use a rubbing motion to remove the remaining residue. Excellent for removing chewing gum from hair painlessly and effectively. 
• Craft, gunk and glue remover - an excellent solvent, oil on a cloth quickly removes spill and blobs where you don't want them. Also useful for cleaning gunk from craft tools, including scissors and blades. Removes permanent marker and adhesive labels. 

• Natural insect repellent around the home
• Possum repellent - a rag soaked in eucalyptus oil and left in the roof keeps the possums from nesting there. Re-soak rag from time to time. 
• Cockroaches -Keep a cloth sprinkled with a few drops of eucalyptus oil in the cupboard where you see them. Repeat once a week. Keep one under the refrigerator to keep them away. If you see lots of cockroaches place the open bottle in the place so the fumes of the eucalyptus oil can repel them.
