Tea Tree and Peppermint Essential Oils

I just received two, full one ounce bottles of Essential Oils. I love, love, love all things "EO"
The company is called New York Biology. They have an extensive list of Essential Oils.
The two scented oils that I received are Peppermint Oil and Tea Tree Oil.
Tea tree oil is a fantastic cleaner and disinfectant.
Use Tea Tree Oil for:
Mildew: Combine 1 cup white vinegar and 60 drops NYB tea tree oil in a reusable spray bottle. Spritz on mold or mildew and let sit for 10 minutes. Scrub with stiff-bristled brush.
DIY soap: If you have time to burn and have this NYB oil, here is a great idea! Just  mix 2 cups melted glycerin soap base and 3 tablespoons tea tree oil. Stir until blended, pour into soap molds and cool.
Laundry: Do you have cloth diapers or teenagers? Make sure to add 1 tablespoon of NYB tea tree oil to the wash. The powerful antifungal properties of tea tree oil will help prevent bacterial and fungal infections.
Smelly Shoes? Make those feet smell better using Tea Tree oil to create this shoe powder. Mix 1⁄4 cup cornstarch, 1⁄4 cup baking soda, and 20 drops each lavender and tea tree oil for an effective homemade shoe deodorant.
General Cleaner: Any spray bottle you have laying around,  mix 15+ drops tea tree oil with 1 quart warm water for a multipurpose cleaner.
ALSO -  For a gentle and effective all-purpose cleaner, mix 20-25 drops of tea tree oil with ¼ cup of water and a ½ cup of distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle. Shake well, spray directly onto surfaces, and wipe down with a clean cloth. Remember the oil won't mix with the water or vinegar, hence the shaking.

This New York Biology Peppermint Oil has some great uses!

Aching Feet:  If your feet are sore at the end of a long day, mix up some Epson salt and peppermint oil with warm water. Soak your feet for at least 15 minutes. Not only will this relax your aching feet, but peppermint essential oil also has pain relieving properties.  
Bathroom Woes:   If you’re having trouble with constipation or trouble urinating (especially directly after childbirth), put a few drops of peppermint oil in the toilet bowl. Peppermint oil helps to open mucus membrane and a few drops in the toilet will open everything up. Bonus: fresh smelling bathroom.
Odor Eliminator:  Try diffusing or spraying peppermint around your home to help clean the air and get rid of any odors.  If the smell of paint fumes bothers you, try adding a 15ml bottle of peppermint oil to a 5 gallon bucket of paint and mixing it in to dispel the fumes.  
Strong, Natural Cleaner:  I make my own peppermint oil cleaner.  It is anti-septic and anti-bacterial. Just put 15 drops of peppermint oil into a cleaner bottle with one cup of vinegar and then add water. 


New York Biology Tea Tree Oil and Peppermint Oil are not safe for ingestion or use on skin.
