On September 17, 2025 I presented a program at the Batavia Public Library on Green Cleaning with Herbs. The presentation was recorded by Community TV and we have the link to share with you here. If you have wanted to see me in person but have not had an opportunity, you can check this out.

At Backyard Patch Herbs, we believe in using nature’s bounty to keep our homes fresh and toxin-free. Our Green Clean program dives into the art of chemical-free cleaning, offering techniques and recipes to make natural cleaning both easy and effective. Here, we’re sharing a simple yet powerful herbal cleaning recipe to get you started!
Herbal Citrus All-Purpose Cleaner
This multipurpose spray is great for countertops, sinks, and even glass. The vinegar cuts through grime, while citrus and herbs provide a fresh scent and antimicrobial boost.
Ingredients:
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1/4 cup dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, lavender, or a mix)
Peels of 1 lemon or orange
10 drops essential oil (optional; lemon, tea tree, or lavender work well)
Instructions:
Place citrus peels and dried herbs in a mason jar.
Pour vinegar over the ingredients and let sit for at least a week to infuse.
Strain out the solids and mix with water in a spray bottle.
Add essential oils if desired, shake well, and use as needed!
This cleaner is a fantastic way to harness the antibacterial properties of herbs while filling your home with a fresh, uplifting scent.
