Spray for ironing. There is a very expensive ($6-$8 per bottle) ironing spray that is lavender scented you can buy only at quilt shops, fabric stores, online, etc. I guess this is supposed to be the generic of that.

I was just wondering today if there was a cheaper way to get that stuff!!! I've never bought essential oils before....where would I find it???
|
I think Michaels carries it :D:D:D

Make sure it is essential oils and not just scented fragrance. One thing about the Lavender is that it will not stain where not all essential oils are the same color so some "might" discolor fabric. Just test first to be safe if you do use something other than Lavender.

You only need a drop or two of a pure essential oil. Fragrance oils have already been diluted with a carrier oil - usually a sunflower oil or vegetable oil depending on how cheap the product is.
Not only does it fragrance your linen, lavender is a natural insect repellent - handy in the linen press. The expensive lavender waters are made from hydrosol - a by-product of the distillation process. It isn't necessary to add alcohol to this type of lavender water. Guess what - I work on a lavender farm! |

Too funny and I go with the ice cubes myself. Who needs good smelling linens anyways? And after a glass or two they all smell just fine when you flop over and pass out. |
