Lemongrass worked a miracle on hand sanitizer that smelled like garbage

This review is mainly for lemongrass. I bought a gallon of hand sanitizer that smelled so awful, it made me want to vomit. My teenage son even begged me to get something else, and I said sorry this is all that's available and I've got a WHOLE GALLON, so we're stuck with it. Well I decided to do some research on whether there was anything I could add that could possibly counteract or neutralize the putrid smell. Lemon seemed to be the best bet, but alas, lemon oil is prone to cause photosensitivity. Well after doing more research I found that lemongrass does not have the same problem. I decided on this 3 pack of lemongrass, peppermint, and rosemary so that I could experiment with a few different scents. I also figured the peppermint is good for other things like warding off ants, which I have an annual problem with. When the very well-packaged oils arrived, I put 5 drops of lemongrass in 1 bottle of sanitizer, and 5 drops of peppermint in another bottle of sanitizer. Well the peppermint made only a slight improvement. That bottle of sanitizer merely smelled like peppermint scented trash, but I will say if your looking for a peppermint oil for other things, this is a very good one. The lemongrass, on the other hand, worked an absolute miracle! It completely neutralized the smell of trash and the hand sanitizer actually smells wonderful! My son even thanked me for getting a "different" hand sanitizer, lol! I have since added a few drops of lemongrass to the peppermint scented bottle, and it took care of that as well. I have not had a chance to use the rosemary yet, but if I find anything significant, I will let you know. The bottom line: if you have hand sanitizer that smells like garbage, 5 drops of lemongrass essential oil per 10 ounce bottle and NO MORE GARBAGE SMELL!
