Recipe: Calming Lavender Linen and Room Spray
Create a simple, non-staining spray ideal for fabrics and ambient scenting, utilizing the relaxing properties of the "Lavender Flowers" Fragrance Oil.
Ingredients:
-
Ninety milliliters Distilled Water
-
Ten milliliters Polysorbate 20 (Solubilizer)
-
One milliliter Preservative (e.g., Liquid Germall Plus)
-
One milliliter (approx. 20 drops) Fragrance Oil "Lavender Flowers"
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step: In a small, clean beaker, combine the Fragrance Oil "Lavender Flowers" and the Polysorbate 20. Mix thoroughly for one minute. The Polysorbate acts as a solubilizer, allowing the oil-based fragrance to disperse evenly in water.
Second Step: In a separate container, combine the Distilled Water and the liquid Preservative. Stir well.
Third Step: Slowly pour the mixture of Polysorbate and Fragrance Oil into the preserved water base. Stir or shake the final solution gently until it appears clear or uniformly milky, indicating proper dispersion.
Fourth Step: Transfer the finished linen spray into a small spray bottle with a fine mist setting.
Recommendations for Application and Storage:
-
Dosage Control: A 1% dosage of the fragrance oil is generally ideal for a linen mist, providing a noticeable yet non-overpowering scent on fabrics.
-
Testing: Always perform a spot test on a hidden area of delicate fabrics before widespread use to ensure the fragrance oil does not cause staining or discoloration.
-
Usage: Mist lightly over linens, curtains, towels, or in the air for an instant, soothing boost of lavender aroma, particularly effective just before bedtime.
-
Storage: Store the room spray at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, which can degrade both the preservative and the fragrance compounds.
