Linen Water Recipe?

ro...@marigny.UUCP (Robyn)
i like to iron with linen water, but i can usually only find lavender
or rosemary scents. i like a lighter scent, like Sweet Pea. i found
an old post with a recipe for lavender linen water, and i imagine that
making it with other scents would be the same, except for the EOs.
does anyone do this? any suggestions for scent combinations?

I use a spray bottle of water with a few drops of lavender and sweet
orange EOs. The house smells wonderful on ironing day.

Isn't there a risk of the EO staining the fabric? Has this ever been a
problem?

No, no staining. A few drops of EOs are diluted in about a pint of
water. I especially love spraying linen water on my pillowcases; it
makes for sweet dreams.

i've also seen a couple recipes online that instruct you to emulsify the
EOs in an ounce or two or vodka. i think this would eliminate any possible
staining.
