Laundry ?: Could I use a few drops of scented oil or home freshner
in the rinse? I'm out of good-smelling fabric rinse. But, I have all those little vials of home and candle frangrance for those scent warmers you put a tea candle in and scents for candlemaking. None of which I am using for those purposes right now.

Could I put a few drops of one of them in the rinse cycle?

1. Would it burst into flames in the dryer?

3. LOL. I don't think so
I don't think there would be enough of the stuff to set alight.

2. I wouldn't. But that is because I am not sure on what it may do to the clothes.

5. I wouldn't
it's usually oil-based and it will probably stain the clothes.

6. IF it's an oil it could very likely stain
and it would be very hard to get out.

7. I like to add a couple of drops of tea tree oil
to my laundry when I do sheets and towels.

It is a natural anti-bacterial. You have to like the smell of it though, which is unique. I love it.

9. Thanks everybody!
I used a few drops of some lavender soap fragrance that I have.

I'll see how that works.

10. lavender is always a good idea for bedding
because it makes one feel rested and sleepy. I don't need lavender because I already fall asleep way too fast.
