With water, Lavender essential oil and a splash of vodka you can infuse your linens with the fresh, clean smell of lavender and freshen the air in your home with the same! It's affordable, versatile and will actually change the molecular structure of the air in you're breathing. A diffuser in a spray bottle!
Lavender Linen Spray, one of life's simpler luxuries. All you need for your rise to Homekeeping Goddess status are three ingredients and an 8 oz BPA free spray bottle. Note: BPA free plastic is acceptable for homekeeping sprays but I prefer glass to plastic when making any kind of body spray if therapeutic essential oils are going to be used.
I understand that vodka may be a surprise however, it really does have practical applications! Vodka acts as an emulsifier, without it the oil and water separates, it's anti-bacterial and evaporates quickly. It also sweetens the blend, strange but true. You can certainly omit the alcohol, sober Lavender Linen & Home Spray with water can be great too...just be sure to shake the contents often!
Just a sidenote: Vodka is GREAT in cleaning solutions! Since making my own household cleaners, I've run across many a recipe that calls for regular unflavored vodka.
Now go forth and dust off your iron! Huh, you say? I know, it's probably been a while since you ironed your sheets but trust me....treating yourself, your guests and your home to Lavender scented linens is the ultimate greeting after a long day.
