Well explained. Love that she always works from a need to help us to be safe. Super simple and easy to follow. Thanks Heidi for demystifying how to make and why to do it the way you show.🥰

If I was using a wee 250ml bottle how many drops of peppermint oil would I put in and would I had a tea spoon off witch hazel thanks

[janeteppers]

Hi Loved the video and you. I do not have patchouli or cinnamon what other essential oil can I substitute?

[allienewnham]

What are the percentages broken down of each product?

Hi, Heidi. What's the usual dilution for linen sprays? 4-5%? Can we go higher?

[LastWordExisting]

My mom picked me up a “sick room” spray. It has colloidal silver in it. The colloidal silver kills pathogens in a healthy way. It also had white sage in it, and I added some frankincense EO.

Do you have any thoughts about working with colloidal silver?

Hi Heidi, I was unable to understand the name of the last essential oil you used in your room or linen spray. Could you please let me know the name? Thank you, Deby

Hi Heidi!
Does this concept also apply to homemade bug spray with EOs?

I'm also interested in homemade laundry detergent recipes, if you have them!

Hi Heidi, is ever-clear a strong enough alcohol to use for this recipe?

[karinswanepoel]

Hi I am living in New Zealand and cannot buy 190 proof ethanol. Something else I can use perhaps?

[beccascraps]

so like a 90% rubbing alcohol won't work?

[laural]

Hi. Thanks for the great information. But if I understand correctly you are ending up with a 25% alcohol solution for the preservation. So is the reason we can't use 80 proof (40% alcohol) with more alcohol and less water to still get to 25% in the final product the fact that we need the full strength to solubilize the essential oils? I have access to 190 proof and will do so but was just curious as to the why. And yes I guess I had followed some recipes where it used half 80 proof or witch hazel and half water - I have now thrown out the contents - don't want to make anyone sick. It was only for my person use.
