Lavender

I regularly wipe off the student desks in my classroom. Mostly it’s about keeping the writing surfaces clean, but it also helps keep germs from spreading.

I usually use Clorox disinfectant wipes – lemon flavor. I like how they smell. Recently, I got a sample pack of Lysol wipes – lavender flavor. I used them yesterday, even though lavender cleaners never smell like lavender. I like what real lavender smells like, but artificial lavender scent is awful.

I was surprised. The wipes smelled more like lavender than any cleaner or air freshener I’ve ever smelled. I still like the cleaning power of the Clorox ones better, but now I know where to go if I ever need a more authentic lavender scent.
