Ban ironing AND monsters with one quick spray
There are countless uses for vinegar in the laundry room. However, none quite matches vinegar’s amazing ability to eliminate wrinkles, eliminating countless wasted hours behind the ironing board.
Use scented (with 20 drops of essential oil), or straight distilled white vinegar. Simply mix 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water in a spray bottle.
Spray the vinegar on dry clothes and most wrinkles will disappear as the vinegar dries. Keep a bottle in your closet, as well as by the dryer, and spray away the wrinkles as you need. If using the oils, this is a great way to scent your clothes, and your closet. Shake the bottle each time before use.
For heavy duty wrinkles, you may have to break out your ironing board. If that’s the case, keep a spray bottle of equal parts water and vinegar (and essential oils) to use as a spray starch. The vinegar helps you make sharp creases and crisp lines in fabric.
Now, for the monster part:
This spray also does double-duty as a monster spray. At night, when someone has nightmares, this spray has an amazing ability, especially when mixed with lavender oil, to soothe little ones back to sleep. The “mediciney-yucky” part of the vinegar, assures the little ones that yes, the monsters are all gone now, and the spray has done it’s job.
