Is there a big difference when using either one in cleaners? I have lemon, but should I be using lemongrass?

They have similar properties, I don't think it would make much difference other than scent.

Thanks Rachel. I do like the way the lemongrass smells vs. just lemon.

I use lemongrass EO in my homemade deodorant. It has a more subtle fragrance than lemon oil, which I know people have used for centuries in housecleaning.
