Lavender Cleaner: From Garden to Home
This week I started shifting how I provide for my home—not just through food, but through what I use in it every day. Instead of buying another cleaner, I began with something simple: Fresh lavender from my garden. 🌿 What I used: - Fresh lavender - 70% rubbing alcohol - Water - 2 drops of dish soap (I used lemon verbena) 🧪 Step 1: Infusion - Place fresh lavender into a glass jar - Cover completely with 70% rubbing alcohol - Seal and store in a cool, dark space - Let it infuse for 7 days 🧴 Step 2: Turn it into a cleaner - Strain the infused liquid - Mix with water (adjust based on strength preference) - Add 2 drops of dish soap ✨ What I use it on: - Granite countertops - Stone tile - General household surfaces 🧠 Why this matters: This isn’t just about making a cleaner. It’s about: - knowing what’s in your home - reducing unnecessary chemicals - creating something safe and effective 🔁 The bigger shift: For a long time, I focused on: ✔ healthy food ✔ movement ✔ routines Now I’m expanding that into: 👉 how I clean 👉 what I use 👉 what I can make myself 👇 If you’re starting: Keep it simple. That’s how this builds. 👉 If you try this, share it in the community—I’d love to see what you’re making.
