I use the following recipe that was posted on this board about a month ago.
2 cups distilled water
2 oz. vodka
6-12 drops essential oils (I use lavender)
1/3 cup liquid starch (I use Sta Flow)
Hint: I put it in a spray starch bottle that was empty.... (BPS). The sprayer is finer than empty bottles you buy. It works wonderfully.

I also love that my home made recipe is safe not only for me, but for the environment. I'm not a 'tree hugger', but I do try and do my part where and when I can. :D

I've never had a problem with mold. I use a 50/50 ratio and mix it in a large spray bottle. That spray bottle lasts me about a year. It molds?? I've never noticed a smell or floating things in it at all. My quilts don't come out different smelling or anything. I used the last of my current bottle last night and was getting ready to make some more. Should I add salt to it?? I just use stayflo and water.
