Experts claim that almost all household products contain harmful chemicals that can trigger serious health issues.
Luckily, you can use tea tree oil to clean your house without putting your health in danger.

It is derived from an Australian tree known as Melaleuca alternifolia, and it has been used for centuries due to its antibacterial properties. It also acts as an antiseptic, antiviral, and antifungal agent.

Here is how to use this oil:

1. Clean the dishes

Before you add soap to the dishwasher machine, put 1 or 2 drops of tea tree oil to disinfect your dishes.
