3 Quick & Easy Ways To Use Dried Lavender At Home (In a sachet is not one of them.)

Lavender is a versatile plant with many uses both in fresh and dried form. One of the best things about lavender is it emits a sense of calm and relaxation. Today I’m sharing three quick and easy ways you can use dried lavender in your home, helping to create a calming atmosphere.

1 - Use while vacuuming:

Sprinkle your flooring with dried lavender buds before vacuuming. As you vacuum the lavender’s gorgeous floral fragrance will be released into the air. 

2 - Lavender and rosemary fire logs:

The fragrance of these herbal bundles will create a relaxing atmosphere when added to your wood burning stove.

To make them all you need to do is take 10 stems each of dried lavender and rosemary. Layer the herbs, alternating ends, and tie tightly with raffia. Place them in the fireplace along with your wood logs.

3 - Lavender Vinegar:

This is super simple to make and a great natural cleaning product for your home. Put one part dried lavender buds to 4 parts white vinegar in a glass jar and cover with a plastic lid (or cover with a piece of plastic wrap before adding a metal lid). Let sit for a couple of weeks, then strain the lavender buds out and put the infused vinegar in a spray bottle. Use as an all purpose cleaner on sinks, countertops and mirrors. 

I hope you enjoy these uses for dried lavender. If you have any other suggestions please share them in the comments below.
