Upscale shops are selling bottles of lavender linen water at very
upscale prices to add to the laundry rinse water or spritz on sheets that are never air dried or curtains to refresh them. This makes a fancy Christmas gift; purchase a pretty bottle and make some tags with directions to tie on with ribbons.
Mix 100 drops (5 ml) of lavender essential oil and 5 drops of
peppermint essential oil with ¼ cup vodka. (Use the good stuff. You can buy 50 ml "nip" bottle of high test at the liquor store. It will be enough.) Stir into 3 cups of distilled, spring or well water. It
will turn cloudy, but it won't stain cloth. Store in a glass container
and shake before using. Add a quarter cup to rinse water with your bed linens for a comforting scent that will soothe you to sleep.
Here's a highly effective cleaner for floors, appliances, porcelain,
dishes and hands. It has a clean fresh scent, won't peel the skin from your hands and is mildly bug proofing. Can't use it on windows though.
"Go, and never darken my towels again."
