Most Australian households are familiar with eucalyptus oil, many will actually have a bottle of eucalyptus oil on hand.  There’s a myriad of uses domestically for eucalyptus oil including as a disinfectant and cleaner, stain/grease remover or for medicinal purposes.

With a growing trend to eco-friendly solutions eucalyptus oil is becoming increasingly popular in commercial applications in a wide range of uses. When it comes to disinfecting properties, eucalyptus oil possesses natural anti-microbial agents that kill harmful micro-organisms.

Gnaraloo Station (www.gnaraloo.com) swear by the benefits of using our York Gum (E. loxophleba lissophloia) or affectionately known as lox liss, eucalyptus oil for cleaning their accommodation as it not only provides a natural disinfectant, it is eco-friendly and leaves a great scent of the Australian bush in each cabin. With the exception of the toilets and hand basins, the eucalyptus oil is used everywhere to clean their accommodation. They mix a few drops in the water to mop and clean floors, mix it with water in a spray bottle to create a surface spray and deodoriser and also make up the miracle spray in bulk for benchtops.  Being located in a remote and isolated region they enjoy being able to buy our lox liss eucalyptus oil in bulk.   

Chaudiere Marine Services use the Kochii eucalyptus oil for cleaning their boats.  The natural anti-microbial of Kochii make it great for controlling mould in areas such as the bilges.  The powerful smell of Kochii also helps combat the pungent smell often emanating from the bilge.  As Kochii has a high cineole content it only takes a few drops mixed with water to create an effective cleaner.

These are just a couple of examples of how eucalyptus oil is used commercially for cleaning.  The lox liss eucalyptus oil has a lower cineole content than Kochii but has a much higher yield making it very cost-effective for commercial application. Eucalyptus oil can be used on its own to remove gum and grime, mixed with water as a cleaner or as a key component of the Miracle Spray.
