Lavender’s place in the home has a centuries-old tradition, not just for its refreshing fragrance, but also for its usefulness in a variety of common household applications that utilize its key oil solvent, disinfectant, and insect repelling properties. Many of us are looking for natural, effective, and pleasant-smelling alternatives to chemical cleaners. Here we aim to bring greater awareness to lavender as a completely natural and safe alternative to the potentially harmful synthetics used in many spheres of modern daily living.
Why Clean with Lavender?
Lavender essential oil is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, yet gentle enough to use around kids and pets. Its fresh, calming scent also turns everyday cleaning into a soothing ritual rather than a chore.

- Add a few drops to a vinegar and water mixture for an all-purpose spray.
- Mix with baking soda to create a natural scrub for sinks, tubs, and tile.
- Apply a drop or two to a cloth for dusting and leave surfaces smelling fresh.
