    I do make lavendar water this way. It makes the fabric smell so nice. I purchased a small cheap spray bottle from walmart. I shake mine often to keep it well mixed.

    I found some lavender spray at the dollar store. It's called l'essence de Provence but at that price it really comes from Hope Rose, Inc. in Spartanburg, SC. Check it out.

    Anyone who may be interested in essential oils like lavender lemon or such for this Boleks craft supply has several oils and are less expensive . They are in Dover ohio and columbus ohio also and have toll free numbers and and online ordering. I order from time to time . but do not confuse these with the bath and candle fragrances which they also sell. I use the lemon in winter and spring to releive congestion by wetting cotton balls and attatching to the air vents or a metal fan so it circulates and kills airborne germs and helps break up congestion in lungs just from breating in. Love my oils!!! Just search for Boleks crafts and it will come up.

    Bad part about it is that the Vodka would never make it to the iron!!
    :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    And I cant do Cheap Vodka :(

    All my Vodka goes into my wife and I usually mixed with Gin, Rum, Whiskey, Triple Sec, a splash of Sweet and Sour mix and a touch of Cola for color......Can we say "Long Island Tea" :thumbup:

    I would not put it into the iron due to the essential oil.

    I've been using this for years and it has not damaged any of my irons. I use distilled water, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I only put about 20 drops of oil in about a 38 fl oz of water with about 1/8 cup of vodka. I use a cleaned out "Dawn" bottle, as it makes no mess when filling the iron and I write "IRON WATER" all over it, so they won't try to wash the dishes with it!! :lol: :lol:

    Most health food stores carry essential oils.
