1 lavender
You can create a natural carpet cleaner at home using lavender to bring a new scent and you will feel more relaxed and calm. Mix a cup of baking soda and about 10 to 12 drops of lavender essential oil. Sprinkle the mixture on your carpet and wait 30 minutes before vacuuming.
2 bay leaves
Bay leaves are very effective in repelling six-legged insects of any kind. Ideally, place a few dried bay leaves on the pantry shelves. Alternatively, if you have a kitchen door, hang a spring to dry inside the door.
3 Rosemary
You can create a natural all-purpose cleaning spray around the house using rosemary. Method: Collect some springs of rosemary with some orange peel. Soak these in a jar of white vinegar for a few weeks, then strain the solution and mix in equal parts water. Keep the mixture in a spray bottle and use it as needed. Rosemary provides strong disinfectant properties that will keep your home clean and fragrant.
4 Oregano
Oregano is an antibiotic that is powerful enough, so this herb is a perfect and non-toxic alternative to bleach. You can also use it to clean surfaces you use for cooking and hand washing. Although it does not work like oregano bleach, it does not come with harmful chemicals and harmful fumes.
5 cloves
Clove provides antiseptic and antifungal properties, making it perfect for combating household molds. Make sure you have 100% clove oil and add 1/2 teaspoon to the spray bottle filled with water. Spray the solution to sit on the tile grout and let it sit for two hours. Then use a scrub brush to remove stubborn dirt.
6 lemon balm
Lemon is a tough de-greasier, and it comes with fresh, clean scents suitable for cleaning the kitchen. You can do this by collecting a handful (approximately 1/2 cup) of lemon balm leaves from your herb garden and placing them in a jar with 1 1/2 cups of white vinegar. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 2 weeks, then strain the leaves and pour the solution into a spray bottle.
7 Mint
Mint acts as a natural pesticide. Mix 1/2 teaspoon peppermint oil and 1/2 teaspoon don dish soap with water. If you put the mixture in a spray bottle, you can easily repel pests around your house like flies, ants, and spiders. Spray around windows and doors to prevent bugs (add 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice for extra flavor).
8 Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus has antibacterial and antiviral properties, combining well with eucalyptus tea tree oil to make home cleaning products in the bathroom. Mix 5-6 drops of each oil in water in a spray bottle daily for easy cleaning of the bathroom sink, shower, faucet handles, and counter surfaces.
