I see alot of recipes calling for essential oil, but no one ever says where to find it. Can someone please tell me where to find it? Thanks!

I have always made my own citrus cleaners and find they are VERY effective, simple to make, and very economical. I use a plant spray bottle, to make it in, and use from, again, VERY cheap to buy

1 part white vinegar
1 part lemon juice
4 parts water
10 drops of preferred essential oil
i have used lemon grass, grapefruit, & orange
(lemon grass is MY favourite!)
add all to bottle, shake
and you are ready to go

and this leaves mirrors, windows & tiles streak free. It cleans cooker spills, work surfaces, etc, and leaves a lingering citrus smell.
