I have been slowly using it for everything. Using cheese cloth, I make little packets, filled them with the lavender and put them in my drawers. I put a handful of lavender in each vacuum bag, so every time I vacuum the room smells nice, not like hot air blown through dust. The other thing I use the lavender for is in the bathroom. I will crush up a small handful and sprinkle it in the toilet bowl. I figure there is enough oil left in the blooms to create a layer on the water and hopefully trap most of the bad smells. (this also helps if you're trying to save water and not flush every time) My Memere grows lavender and the other year she gave me a bottle of dried blossoms.

When her perfume bottles were empty, she would take the tops off and place them in the drawer's. There is enough in the bottles to evaporate and it leaves the drawer contents smelling really good. I have been doing this for over 40 year's. Lloyd My mother taught me a handy trick to keep my dresser drawer’s and clothes smelling good.
