My guess id this essential oil does not endure a good "heat history". You should press your clothing, and then apply an ever so light mist of the lavender water for freshness. Remember, lavender oil is an essential oil, and is very, very unstable to heat, and UV light(sunlight). Kind Regards, JED Hello! My guess id this essential oil does not endure a good “heat history”.

The vodka has ethanol(EtOH) which acts as a ADJUVANT to solubilize the lavender oil. My guess is that you could also use plain old "rubbing alcohol(isopropynol), as it is also an "alcohol/water azeotrope". This mixture might smell a bit more strong of alcohol. Kind Regards, JED No!

I had no idea it was made with vodka. I transplanted a lavender bush, (more like a tree) from my parents home almost 25 years ago, and it's huge! Now I have something I can do with the buds!

If your lavender water is too dark and causes staining, you can dilute it with water. The commercial lavender water is likely made with essential oils rather than a true lavender bud infusion.
