But taking their cue from the popularity of citrus soaps and berry body lotions, designer-housewares stores such as Williams-Sonoma and the Terence Conran Shop are offering household-cleaning products--dishwashing soaps, floor cleaners and countertop sprays--infused with essences fit for a Zen retreat. Consumers can choose among scrubs that smell like green-tea patchouli, citrus-mint ilang-ilang or basil lemon verbena.
