Fragrant Linen Water
By: Pets'R'us
Apr 25, 2003
I will never be a domestic goddess, I like cooking but I hate ironing!! Spraying this on the pieces to be ironed makes that dreadful task a bit more bearable! The classic fragrance for this is lavender, but I make up different fragrances all the time, but do choose a clear and not dark colored oil. At the moment I have a mix of lemon and rosemary in the bottle. So far it has never stained any clothes, just make sure you shake the bottle before use. Years ago I received it as a present, now I give this away as a present and it is always appreciated! If it goes cloudy it is not abnormal, some essential oils do that.

Wonderful recipe and very inexpensive compared to those bottles of linen water at the kitchen/bath boutiques. I made my recipe with lavender essential oil and the vodka. I worried a bit that the vodka would leave a "boozy" odour but I cannot detect any alcohol odour. Ironing is not my favourite household task but this gives a touch of luxury to a very mundane chore. The smell lingered long after the iron was put away. This is a great gift idea as well....Thanks!

I love this! I made mine using 24 oz of distilled water, 2 oz of vodka and approximately 40 drops lavendar, 30 drops bergamot, and 30 drops sweet orange...I was an ironing fool and enjoying it!

Thank You... For making ironing a little more pleasant!!! This also made the whole room smell nice as I worked. I used peppermint oil on hubby's work shirts. Can't wait to try other scents!

I love the fragrance of this once its ready and the fragrance of this on the clothes that are ironed. It smells so fresh and lovely! After making this, I kept it uncovered in my room(forgot to cover the bottle) and the fragrance just filled my room and it was sooooo good that I just wanted to sink into it! I used surgical spirit(having Ethanol content 70%) as a substitute for the vodka and it worked well. I made this using grapefruit oil as the essential oil. I just gifted one bottle of this to a friend this afternoon and I can't wait to hear from her! She has to do alot of ironing for her family as well as another family she is staying with, so I think she'll be really glad to have this! Thank you so much for sharing such a good recipe. I'm going to share it with as many people as I can
