Next, add a tablespoon of vinegar, which Carolina points out kills dust mites and half a cup of water to the oil mixture.

Finally, add a couple of drops of washing-up liquid and ten drops of lemon essential oil to the mixture.

Once you have all the ingredients together, decant them into a spray bottle and shake it well.

Carolina suggests using the mixture once a week by spraying it on a microfibre cloth and wiping it along your surfaces.

the dust repellent potion can be used on a variety of surfaces in the home and won't cause damage to any paintwork.
