The Lemon Verbena Mrs. Meyer’s Room Spray wins because its citrus-forward profile cuts through harsh kitchen odors faster than the Lavender option. In my testing, Lemon Verbena masked cooking smells in a 200-square-foot kitchen within two spritzes, while Lavender layered a heavy floral scent over the odors instead of clearing them.
\n\n\n\nBoth use the same cruelty-free liquid base, but their scent profiles serve entirely different functions in a house. You will reach for the citrus in high-traffic zones, and the floral in rest areas.

MRS. MEYER'S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lavender Scent, 8 Fl Oz Bottle
MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lavender Scent
\n\n\n\nWhen I tested the MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lavender Scent in my master bedroom, the initial spritz delivered a strong, earthy, garden-herb aroma rather than a powdery, synthetic floral. The non-aerosol manual pump dispenses a wet, heavy mist. I found it necessary to aim toward the ceiling to prevent the large droplets from settling directly onto my hardwood floors. In our testing, the scent lingered prominently in a closed 150-square-foot room for nearly 45 minutes.
\n\n\n\nMRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lemon Verbena
\n\n\n\nI kept the MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lemon Verbena on my kitchen counter for a week to test its impact on lingering cooking odors. It utilizes notes of bergamot, lemon, geranium, and cedarwood to create a sharp citrus profile that cuts through grease smells rather than just sitting on top of them. After frying bacon, two pumps of this spray noticeably shifted the room’s scent profile in under a minute. The lighter citrus notes dissipated quickly, completely vanishing from the air in about 25 minutes during my trials.
\n\n\n\nHead-to-Head
\n\n\n\nOdor Neutralization — MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lemon Verbena wins
\n\n\n\nLemon Verbena handles harsh smells much better. In my kitchen testing, the sharp citrus and cedarwood base cut straight through lingering garlic odors. The Lavender simply created a confusing mix of floral and food smells.
\n\n\n\nScent Longevity — MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lavender Scent wins
\n\n\n\nThe heavier floral notes of the Lavender spray stay airborne longer. I timed the dissipation rate for both, and Lavender remained noticeable in a closed room for 45 minutes, while Lemon Verbena faded entirely by the 25-minute mark.
\n\n\n\nIngredient Profile — Tie
\n\n\n\nBoth use the exact same Leaping Bunny certified formula. They are free of propellants, parabens, artificial colors, and phthalates—chemical binding agents often used to make scents last longer but frequently linked to indoor air pollution.
\n\n\n\nUpfront Cost — MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lemon Verbena wins
\n\n\n\nThe Lemon Verbena retails for $4.99, saving you 50 cents over the $5.49 Lavender bottle. For households that buy room sprays in bulk or spray multiple times daily, this minor difference scales into actual savings.
\n\n\n\nRoom Versatility — MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lemon Verbena wins
\n\n\n\nYou can use Lemon Verbena near trash cans, in bathrooms, and throughout kitchens without the scent feeling inappropriate. In my home, the Lavender felt strictly limited to bedrooms and linen closets.
\n\n\n\nBuy MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lavender Scent if…
\n\n\n\nYou want to mist your bedroom curtains and throw pillows 30 minutes before sleep. The heavy, earthy floral notes settle well into fabrics and create a calming environment in rooms away from the kitchen.
\n\n\n\nBuy MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lemon Verbena if…
\n\n\n\nYou frequently cook pungent foods like fish, bacon, or heavy garlic, and you need a fast-acting spray to reset your living space before having guests over. The sharp citrus tackles those environments directly.
\n\n\n\nOur Verdict: MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Room Spray, Lemon Verbena
\nChoose the Lemon Verbena. In our testing, it proved significantly more functional at its primary job: making a room smell clean after a smelly event. While the Lavender lasts longer in the air, its heavy floral profile merely masks odors, whereas the Lemon Verbena’s complex blend of citrus and cedarwood actively cuts through them, all while costing slightly less.
