Making Your Own CleanersHomemade Scouring Powder1 cup borax
Window Cleaner2 tablespoons vinegar
Countertop SprayFill a plastic spray bottle with water and several drops of your favorite essential oil. (Rosemary and lavender are good.) I keep a bottle in each bathroom and one in the kitchen for quick floor clean-up and countertop cleaning. They make my house smell wonderful!
As with all cleaners, keep away from children and use at your own discretion! Household Uses for Herbs
Garden Sachet Idea
Beautiful little drawstring bags can be purchased or easily made and then filled with fresh or dried herbs such as lavender and rosemary and rosepetals. I hang them from hooks in my wardrobe and every time I open the wardrobe now I am greeted with the scent of lavender. You can also hang them on doorknobs (provided your young children won't get into them). They'll give a nice scent whenever the door is opened or closed.
