Life is busy.
This time of year is crazy.
Together, this means that life is currently chaotic and hot-mess-y.
Yup, so that’s my poem that sums up the speed of life that I’m pretty sure most of us can relate to at the moment. It was inspired by coffee consumption, lack of sleep, and the inability to find time to do housework. Don’t get me wrong, I adore all this season has to offer— it’s beautiful colors, cooling temperatures, and bustling activities included. Afterall, it’s a blessing to have access to the many things that keep us busy during the day. That being said, tending to a bulging schedule can take a toll on your regular cleaning regime and sometimes you just need a minute to at least feel like you’ve got a sense of calm amidst the crazy.
To all of you out there who want to take in all the cozy fall vibes in a home that’s filled with the aromas of autumn but can’t seem to find the time to do so, this Defeat the Reek Diffuser is for you. This odor eliminator diffuser recipe includes essential oils with powerful odor-fighting properties that just so happen to have scents that go along perfectly with September’s season.

Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil
You know what makes this Defeat the Reek Diffuser Blend one of the best essential oil diffuser recipes for clean air? This Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil, that’s what. Because citronella is one of its main constituents, this essential oil has the ability to overpower all sorts of stink. Plus, lemon eucalyptus essential oil is filled with antifungal properties[i] that’ll knock out any fungus that may be behind your odor issues.
Blood Orange Essential Oil
Blood Orange Essential Oil is a recipe for cleanliness in and of itself. It’s main component, limonene, is a renowned natural cleaning agent[ii]. In addition to its actual cleansing properties, it’s fresh aroma is pretty hard to beat. Before using this odor eliminator diffuser recipe, I was a pretty loyal orange essential oil user, but the hint of tanginess mixed in with this oil’s overall sweetness has me dividing my allegiance.
Clove Essential Oil
Last but not least, Clove Essential Oil is the spicy secret to creating an autumn aroma with your odor eliminator essential oil diffuser recipe. While its antimicrobial properties work to eradicate all things icky and stinky in your place,* its fragrance will create a crushed leaves, homey baking, rolling breeze sort of space. So yes, don’t take me lightly when I say that clove is one of the best smelling essential oils for home use.
