Lavender foliage cleaning recipe

A truly wonderful general household cleaner can be made by filling jars toabout one-quarter full of lavender foliage (fresh or dried), then topping upwith warmed white vinegar. Place lids on jars and leave in a warm spot onthe windowsill for about two weeks (or longer if time allows), shakingdaily, then decant into spray containers, by which time you have a lovelyperfumed and effective product.

Use to clean kitchen benches (repels andalso kills ants), windows etc. It is also good to spray into the air aroundBBQs to repel flies and mozzies, but take notice of which way the wind isblowing as it will sting your eyes for an instant.
