Both eucalyptus oil and garlic are very common in Vietnamese households. Although each has many uses in daily life, few people think of combining them. Try combining eucalyptus oil with garlic and you will see unexpected benefits.

Surprising benefits of combining eucalyptus oil with garlic

To make the most of the benefits of the eucalyptus oil and garlic mixture, first, take a few cloves of garlic and peel them. Cut the garlic into small pieces so that the fragrance of the garlic can be released better.

Next, take a disposable face mask, cut off one end. Separate the layers of the face mask and put the garlic inside. Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the garlic. Tie the face mask tightly and place this bag in areas with many mosquitoes, such as windows, doors, and under the bed. Mosquitoes dislike the smell of garlic and eucalyptus oil. When they smell this, they won’t dare to come near. Making this mosquito repellent bag is simple and cost-effective for families.

In addition, you can also combine ginger and eucalyptus oil to achieve similar results. Chop the ginger into small pieces and put it into the face mask, then add a few drops of eucalyptus oil. Hang the ginger and eucalyptus oil bag in areas where mosquitoes tend to gather to repel mosquitoes. Your home will be free of mosquitoes even during favorable conditions for their growth. Moreover, your home will have a pleasant, lingering fragrance.

Other uses of eucalyptus oil

+ Eliminate bathroom odors.

First, pour 150-200 ml of white vinegar into a small bowl or spray bottle. Then add 10-15 drops of eucalyptus oil and 200 ml of water to dilute the mixture. Shake the mixture well.

After preparing the mixture, spray it directly into the toilet bowl or around the bathroom. The odors will gradually diminish and disappear completely. In addition, you can also spray it into the trash can to eliminate foul odors, prevent bacteria and small insects from breeding and developing.

You can also use this solution to spray under the bed, in the corners of the walls, and other hiding places for mosquitoes to avoid them. Furthermore, the eucalyptus oil and white vinegar solution can also eliminate shoe odors, remove double-sided tape on walls, or clean bamboo mats, leaving a fresh scent in the room… Just spray it in the areas that need treatment, and you will see immediate results.

+ Suppress pests on plants

If there are flies or small insects affecting the growth of your plants, you can use a mixture of eucalyptus oil and dish soap to deal with them.

Just add a few drops of eucalyptus oil and a little dish soap and water into an empty plastic bottle. Shake the bottle well and then spray it on the spots where flies, red spiders, or other small insects appear. This method is effective and safe for indoor plants.

+ Remove ink stains from clothes

If your clothes accidentally get stained with ink from a ballpoint pen and you have tried but failed to remove it, you can consider using eucalyptus oil combined with toothpaste to clean it.

First, apply eucalyptus oil to the area where the ink stain is located. The oil can dissolve the components in the ink. Then apply toothpaste around the ink stain, as toothpaste contains abrasive materials that have a certain cleaning effect. Next, pour a little clean water onto the ink stain and rub it with your hand. The ballpoint pen ink will gradually fade. Finally, wash the clothes with regular laundry detergent to ensure they will be clean and white as new.
