How do I use laundry that won't dry in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 2 · Geranium 2 · Lemongrass 2 · Tea Tree 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of lavender?

Swap lavender for ylang ylang or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: ylang ylang is rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral.

When is the best time to use laundry that won't dry?

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Laundry that won't dry · Lavender, Geranium, Lemongrass blend

Humid season, and clothes that have hung for three days are still damp and starting to smell. Lavender and geranium lead, soft and full of flowers and leaves, while lemongrass and tea tree pull things toward fresh and clean. Put the diffuser near your indoor drying rack and run a fan or dehumidifier alongside. Want it closer to fabric softener? Add 2 more drops of lavender.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
