I know people who make natural cleaning products add essential oils for smell but I never do. A big one is lavender essential oil - but if you read the bottle, it says it stains so I don't want to go spraying all over everything especially with room freshener. Plus a lot of people find essential oil irritating to their skin. There are always cautions regarding using essential oils while being pregnant.
What I do is clean without adding the essential oil. If you like the smell, then put dab on a cotton ball and set it in a dish to add a little fragrance to the room.

I would say no. Some essential oils are corrosive, and could cause a serious chemical reaction with ingredients in cleaning products. You would need to do some serious chemical research to figure out what could be mixed. Why don't you use the cleaning products as they are, and get an oil diffuser to fragrance your home? Or a reed diffuser?

while it may be natural, it doesn't mean it won't hurt your skin…for instance, pure essential oil of oregano can cause burns on some…and, what is the active ingredient in the oil? Will it interact with your cleaning product's active or inactive ingredient, and cause a problem? Do your research, then use the WHMS charts to determine the rest…your local Janitor's Warehouse, Acme Cleaning Supplies, or what ever will give you WHMS sheets for free. These can include your oils, sometimes, too…just ask…
