For windows, mirrors indoors I make infused white vinegar with lots of lemon peel and rosemary. Leave 10 days sunny window, filter and use diluted with warm water.
Floorwash with warm water infused with lemon peels.Floorwash used water thrown outside front door on tiled area.
Cotton ball with few drops eucalyptus e.o. put into the new vacuum bag.
Dust with cloth slightly moist with one of my herbal waters. Today used orange/clove.

I like the cotton ball in the vaccum cleaner bag! What a great idea, and I bet a few drops of lemon oil would do a similar freshening action :fairy:

Thanks!

To freshen bedlinens in-between changing to clean/fresh bedding use the house spray to refresh it or a lavender mist to freshen and help with sleep.
Blankets, plaids etc. can also be misted.

Today made a floorwash for Yule. On stovetop in water simmer orange and lemon peels, clove and cinnamon. Then strain and dilute in more water add a drop of pine essential oil and use as a floorwash. Some I use to freshen up windows and mirrors. Used water goes outdoors by entrances.

Great idea! I love lavender smell it always helps me sleep better. Will try to spray it between bedlinens in the closet of my property in Spain https://tranio.com/spain/ or even buy a special closet refreshing pads so it can make a nice smell for all the things that are laying there. Thank you for the tip!

New Years Eve floorwash/floormop 1/2 pail warm water any blessing herbs infused vinegar you have in your supplies and pinch of cinnamon powder. This was used on laminate and vinyl floor only. First clean normal way like vacuum or swiffer or broom sweep, then a soapy mop nothing too chemical myself used a green tea hand wash liquid soap in warm water. Floors were reasonable from previous cleaning with all purpose household cleaner eucalyptus.
A blessing for house over the watermixture, then floormop keep thoughts on the house blessing if not too cold open a window for a bit, have at least one candle burning white or a brown for house correspondence. After maybe some incense but my infusion was strong scented enough not too need extra incense.

Today some housekeeping spring cleaning and sorting out the candles ..... most are now in a decoupaged shoebox. And had this ASMR video Witchcraft Shop Ambience for inspiration whilst doing these small chores which was pleasant listening to it seeing it.....

I’m doing some housework now while listening to reggae in the background and chanting some witchy chants I found on Pinterest. I also light a candle and ask the Goddess to lend me a hand since I don’t like housework much.
