I, too, am a fan of scented water for ironing. I get it at Kohls in the bathroom accessories section. The bottle is normally $10 or so, but it frequently goes on sale for 40-60% off, and if you shop there often, they give $5 and $10 like-cash coupons, so I am able to keep a good supply of it for relatively cheap. Here's a link:

Question to those who use vodka/water. Does it really stiffen your fabric or just
make it nice and flat? I've not been impressed by Best Press at all. Would be nice to find a starch alternative...specially when working with black. I'm making a wall-hanging with black fabric and don't want white patches on it. |
Bed bath beyond has the linen spray here, I just bought some a few weeks ago. Every time I've purchased some it has been in a different area of the store

I've also seen scented linen spray in the laundry section of my grocery store.

I either use some lavender essential oil mixed with boiled cooled off water and fill a clean glass spray bottle I use this up and make new as needed. There is also sold hydrosol which is the floral/herbal water left over from the making of essential oils, the fragrant vapour condenses into floral water. Places like www.mountainroseherbs.com sell this in US .
On www.aromaweb.com you can find recipes if want to make a blend of oils, and then to mix into nice ironing water. |
Looks to me like I've just found an "excuse" to purchase some vodka! Thank you ladies! lol

The potato part is what gives a little starch. Takes out all wrinkles and honestly, there is a very nice aroma. (of course, you could take a swig when times get rough LOL)
