I was thinking of ordering some. I have never tried it before. What is the best scent and what all can you use it for?!

I love lavender. We use it as a body wash, and a hand wash. We have also used it as a dishwashing soap (dishes done by hand), and in the laundry. I have tried it as a shampoo but didn't like it. I have also tried peppermint and liked that too but for a body wash it was a little too tingly in some places. (sorry if that was TMI) I have also heard that you can use the peppermint as a toothpaste in a pinch.

I use the peppermint kind as a tooth soap (instead of toothpaste) and I also use it as a face wash. Both ways leave a nice, fresh, tingly-clean feeling.

I'd love to hear of other uses . . .

I clean tub, floors and toilet with it as well as diluted in a spray bottle for general cleaning. Lavender smells soooo clean!

I think it is amazing that it can be used for household cleaning as well as a body wash/toothpaste etc. How is it for laundry soap? Does it work pretty well? Do you dilute it or just pour it in as is?

I love the peppermint! I use it for toothpaste, dish soap (for hand washing), laundry (I pour a TINY bit (maybe a cap-ful in the washer along w/ a half scoop or so of baking soda & then fill the fabric softener dispenser w/ vinegar). If there's stuck on food or whatever on the counters/sink whatever I'll make a paste w/ bronners & baking soda. Most stuff wipes right up, if not I let the paste sit on it for a little while & THEN it wipes right up . . .

Personally I find it too drying for hair/body, but I really don't use any soap in the shower, so it may be just me.
