I know though that essential oils can mark fabrics if they're full strength, or at least some of them can. The best bet would be to test first to get a good idea of what fabrics this would be fine with. To scent the water without essential oil you could try an infusion, but I have no experience with that in relation to using it as fabric starch (ie. will it stain the fabric?) or what the fragrance strength would be. You can see this page for some basic info of what an infusion process involves: <a href="http://tipnut.com/homemade-herbal-bath-bag-recipes/" rel="nofollow">Homemade Herbal Bath Bag Recipes</a>. I hope that helps a bit :). Debby I didn’t have problems with marks at all, it could be that the essential oil is so well diluted with the water and that’s why.
