Scented Starch For Linens

You can substitute the lavender Essential Oil in this recipe for any fragrance you like.

■Dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in 1 pint cold water. Add 6 drops of lavender essential oil. Place in a spray bottle. Shake before using.
Fresh pressed linens, nicely starched, and lavender fragrance wafting in the air. Nice!

Homemade Linen Sprays

Combine vodka (which is also a disinfectant), distilled water and fragrant oils to make these lovely linen sprays. Here are three easy to mix recipes from Hallmark Magazine

Pour 2 TBS 100 proof vodka into a 32-ounce spray bottle then add the following:

Jasmine Bergamot Linen Spray
1 teaspoon jasmine oil and 1/2 teaspoon bergamot oil

Lavender Sandalwood Linen Spray
1 teaspoon lavender oil and 1/2 teaspoon sandalwood oil

Vanilla Ginger Linen Spray
1 teaspoon vanilla oil and 2 drops ginger oil


Directions: Top the vodka and oils with distilled water, cap and shake to mix. Spray linens as needed, shaking bottle lightly before each use.
