    Tea tree oil

    Hi all

    So ive been using tea tree oil mixture to eliminate odour on rugs and spraying on bibs and towels before putting it in the wash to avoid mould.

    Have been also using it to stop mould and must around the house.

    Anyway, the smell is very smelly and kinda giving me a headache lol.

    Can i mix it with something else to dilute the smell like another oil??

    Currently i am using 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil to 1 cup of water.

    I also have replaced my deoderant with a tea tree one but end up smelling worse than body odour.

    Add some lavender or eucalyptus?

    If your washing is getting a thorough sun drying it doesn't really need an anti-fungal but vinegar is a less smelly alternative.
