Mrs White's Domestic Help - the amazing powers of natural, organic lavender

-
The concentrated fragrance – and the cleansing and deodorising power – of natural organic lavender, captured in a handy spray.

Mrs. White, our Great Grandmother, always used a little lavender oil when dusting; adding a few drops onto her duster before wiping down wood and paintwork. We have decided to share her secret in the form of Mrs. White’s Domestic Help. 

Lavender oil not only smells amazing, but it also has natural antibacterial and grease cutting qualities. It is also a sleep aid so we can’t think of a better way of buffing up your bedstead but it has a million uses, as we've discovered after living with our test cans for a little while, including as a really handy and effective travel hand cleanser for picnics, long journeys and such like.

Not only is Mrs White's Domestic Help fantastic for refreshing woollens, and for spritzing ironing and upholstery, it's also turned out to be a really effective hard surface cleaner, too! 

It degreases and wipes away even ingrained stains quite effortlessly, perfect when that used tea bag has been lingering on the counter or red wine ring when you have been slurping more than stirring at the stove. 

Because lavender is known to be naturally antiseptic, antifungal, antiviral and antibiotic it is the ideal choice to cleanse and freshen the kitchen, bathroom and especially the nursery. You can even use it to spray cuts and grazes in an emergency - and as we've discovered, it makes an effective chemical and aluminium-free underarm deodorant, too. Cold on a chilly morning, though!

Good grief somebody should bottle this stuff and sell it!

Pop along to our Roullier White store in East Dulwich we would love to say 'hallo':

The Holy Trinity: Perfumes Made by Monks

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui

Bâtard Folding Picnic Knife by Lamson & Goodnow

As author of The Best Bread Ever; Charles Van Over is expected to show everywhere up with an armful of bread. Whilst Charles enjoys breaking bread with friends; he does insist that the bread is properly sliced with a breadknife, not just ripped apart. The problem here is that bread knives are very long and with their serrated edges they are not the easiest of things to carry around. Charles wondered why a folding bread knife could not be produced and took his idea for a pocket bread knife to Lamson & Goodnow, American manufacturers of the LamsonSharp range. The Bâtard Folding Picnic knife is the result of this collaboration. At Roullier White we believe this may possibly be the best picnic knife ever made. The French word bâtard – and yes it does translate how you think it does – is a shorter and thicker type of baguette. The knife, of course, will cut everything including cheese, fruit, vegetables and as you cannot have a picnic without wine it also has an integral corkscrew. Rou
