I haven’t used store-bought cleansers since the year 2004 when a health challenge awakened me to the importance of ridding my environment of any toxins or potentially harmful chemicals. I think it is a very good idea for all of us to consider as our health is precious. I know this made a difference for me and my loved ones. And the smell of a home freshly cleaned with lemons and scentful natural oils feels wonderful. This magical floor wash rids your home of negative and unhealthy energy and will shift things to the positive. The scent alone is enchanted.

Gather the following: 

1 quart of white vinegar

 4 lemons

8 drops lavender oil,

3 cinnamon sticks

3 sage leaves

3 mint stems with leaves

1 cup hot water

 a new mop

In a 4-quart glass mixing bowl, pour a cup of hot water, place mint, half cup of lemon juice, 8 drops of lavender oil, 3 sage leaves, and three cinnamon sticks.  Stir and steep for a half hour.

 Take a clean bucket and fill with two gallons of warm water and a quart of white vinegar. Using a kitchen sieve, strain the herbal mix into the bucket and give a star with a wooden spoon. If your floor is a delicate or antique and rare wood, leave out the lemon but otherwise, this is a suitable albeit magical floor wash for any purpose. Take your brand new mop and dip it into the bucket, wring it out and clean the floor very thoroughly. Notice the shift of energy!
