Happy Home Floor Wash
1 handful of dried or fresh rose petals
Peels of one lime
7 drops Lemon EO
1 tsp to tbsp liquid soap
Place your rose petals and lime peels in a large pot. Add a quart of water and bring to a boil. Let simmer 5 minutes. You'll know it's done when the roses and lime peels have no more color. Remove from the heat and take a dishtowel or large rag and drape it over the top of the pot. Gather and tie the sides to make a sort of sieve. Strain the *tea* into your mop bucket. You can now add your lemon essential oil and a teaspoon to tablespoon of liquid soap. The amount of soap you use depends on what kind of soap you have. Add more hot water to the bucket until you have around 1-2 gallons of mop water. Hold your hands over the bucket and say:
"I bless this pot of magical herbs with love and light for all who enter here."
Imagine all of this bright sparkly energy floating down from the heavens, through your crown chakra and down through your arms and fingers and into your pot. You are now ready to mop or spritz some love and light all around your home.
