I'm trying to get a good linen spray recipe to use with essential oils or fragrance oils... I bought some denat alcohol as it was listed from the supplier as being suitable but then i failed to find a recipe that uses the darn alcohol so i'm stuck with a bottle, lots of fragrances and no recipe... can anyone help?

You can use it on the top/bottom of M&P soap. When you pour the soap into the mould, spray some on the bottom, and it takes out the bubbles.

You can also use it for layering M&P soap too - spray a layer of alcohol on the layer of soap - it helps the next layer to stick.

Hey Emma

I usually put 50ml of distilled water, 50ml of alcohol and approx 20 drops of EO in a spray bottle and hey presto I have myself a room/linen spray.

I also have found a recipe that says use 20oz distilled water, 1 1/2 oz alcohol and 1/4 oz EO, never tried it but you could give it a whirl!

I know what a solubuliser does but what could you use? Could you use distilled water as purified water?

Hi Emma
I thought distilled and purified water were the same?!!! not sure...when I make products for clients I use bottled water and my own, just from the tap...solubiser is sold as it is named..I personally don't use it...just shake up the bottle or add a tiny bit of water dispersable grapeseed oil, that helps the EOs to disperse

By the way...a warning...he he...don't make Green Tea Room/Linen Sprays with a green tea bag!  I found a recipe and thought oooohhh that sounds good...well of course, it turns the water the most yakky brown colour and well, stinks to be honest.......one straight down the drain....Green Tea FO would prob be Ok tho
