Hydrosols for Intimate Apparel

Published June 5, 2018 | By shirleytwofeathers

The summer is a very appropriate time to experiment with hydrosols, washing your intimate apparel, silks, and scarves in the gentle essences of blossoms. Here’s how:

Fill a basin 2/3 full of spring water. Add 1/4 cup soapwort infusion (soapwort is used traditionally for valuable textiles ~ but any mild soap will do as long as it is safe for use on the fabrics you are washing).

Next add 1 cup of your favorite hydrosol. Swish clothing in this water gently to work up lather. Soak 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse. Hang up to dry.

Qualities of the three most popular hydrosols to consider:

Lavender is relaxing and unisex.
Neroli builds confidence in sexuality, and helps with recovery from embarrassment.
Rose lends energy, is stimulating, and aids the adventurous spirit.
