This absolutely worked the other day. You told me it could remove goo and it sure does! Now I don’t have to worry when TJ Maxx and Tuesday Morning put sticky stickers in the most tacky spots on my purchases!
Yay, Suzy! Plus now your purchases will smell fantastic. 🙂
I am glad my daughter told me about the oil
I am relatively new to essential oils/doTerra. I am still a little nervous about ingesting essential oils. What are your thoughts on that?
It’s good to be cautious and do your homework, Emily. You definitely should not ingest any old essential oil–only top quality therapeutic grade oils. (That’s why I use doTERRA.)
My recipe calls for one teaspoon orange extract. Can I use Wild Orange oil and how much?
Barbara–I’ve used WO oil instead of the extract before. Start with 1-2 drops essential oil. (And be sure to use a brand that is safe to ingest, such as doTERRA.)
How do I blend for cranky and moody 8yrs old. Do I need to dilute? By the way I am using Doterra Wild orange oil.
Wild Orange is technically safe to use without dilution, but you’d want to use only 1-2 drops at a time. Diluting the oil in a roller bottle would make it easier to apply, and would help to make sure you don’t use too much.
Thank you Kathleen. I have tried during the weekend monitoring my son on it.
Does Wild Orange Essential Oils help with dog odor in the house?
Hi, Rhonda, Personally, I’d rather smell Wild Orange than dog! 😉 Yes, definitely try Wild Orange for deodorizing your home. Lemon is good, too, as well as doTERRA’s Purify blend.
