The essential oil of this fragrant plant has disinfectant properties, and its cleaning powers have long been known. Even before the antimicrobial properties of lavender were discovered, it was used for cleaning purposes. The word lavender itself comes from lavare, meaning “to wash.” Try cleaning with lavender by adding a few drops of essential oil to any cleaning products you already make, such as vinegar diluted in water for cleaning floors.
• 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon borax
• Distilled or purified water
• 1/4 cup lavender liquid castile soap
• 10 drops lavender essential oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1. Mix vinegar and borax in a 16-ounce bottle. Fill the bottle 3/4 full with hot water. Shake until borax is dissolved.
2. Add the soap, essential oil and lemon juice. Shake well.
