personally I would not add lemon, essential oils- or anything else to add fragrance- in my mind that is a recipe for disaster- oils leave stains (oily marks) lemon will yellow over time- I hate & will not use 'best press' mainly because it STINKS! makes my whole room reek for hours (yup-tried it once-never again) I know some people love the stuff---I've been using Niagra starch 40+ years- the slight odor that it has when sprayed is gone when item is pressed/dry- I do not understand why anyone would want to *perfume* their fabrics- or add oils/juices. *just me*
