With the trend gearing itself too more natural products, it only make sense to talk about aromatic cleansing agents for your home.

A lot of these herbal-cleansing agents use essential oils. You can also find them made with water or vinegar using plants from yours or a friend’s garden.

When we take a look at herbs for cleansing, there’s: Basil, lavender, tea tree, rosemary, sage, bergamot, thyme, oregano, lemon balm, lemon verbena, rose and hyssop to name a few. Since fragrance is a personal preference, feel free to go beyond this list. Many of these plants are said to have anti fungal or antiseptic properties.

You’ll also need tools and supplies. So, a new spray bottle for your herbal cleansers, several soft cloths that don’t leave lint or fibers behind (cotton is a good choice). A small saucepan, measuring cup, and an eyedropper will also be needed.

Next to your kitchen, your bathrooms see more traffic than any other rooms in the house. Between germs, soap scum, bacteria and mold, bathrooms can get pretty dirty.

Here are a few recipes to help you create your aromatic cleansing agents.

For Porcelain or Stainless Steel Sinks, Let’s start with your bathroom

½ cup vinegar
3 drops essential oil (bergamot, lemon balm, lemon verbena or rose)

Your refrigerator and freezer has all sorts of spills, odors and stick stuff in it.
