I received my box from Deb today. This is what was inside. Thank you very much, Deb. Now I need to get some potted. The flowers the neighbor weed whacked in the highway curb are trying to come back.

Pesky, I responded on the Decorating Forum, but had another thought. It addition to the steam cleaner manufacturers warning against additives, there is so little water used in steam cleaning that there would not be much effect. You might be better off making up the lavender water and then spraying or lightly pouring it on the floor towards the end of cleaning the room.

Be very careful where they are placed as they WILL take off the furniture finish! I had some in the bathroom on a oak finish vanity table a few yrs. ago and after showering, my husband threw his towel up on the shower and in the process knocked over the bottle. When I noticed it later, it had really messed up the top of the vanity and also discolored the tile where it had spilled on the floor. I need to refinish the top yet...maybe in the summer!

Yes it is. It depends on the quality of the product. Some are just very overwhelming. The better ones are milder and less in your face. The actual scent makes a difference too something very sweet smelling is not as appealing as a milder spice or earthy scent to me but I can't use them much these days because I have scent allergies and too many of those set me off. You can use safflower oil to thin down the scented oil that came with the diffuser kit. People that make homemade oil use it as a base oil. Do not use mineral oil or any type of petroleum based oils or oils that become rancid.
