Everyone has enjoyed the profiles we have been doing on essential oils. I figured it was time to learn more about our hydrosols. Every few weeks we will feature a different hydrosol, show you more about that specific one, and then give a few ways you can consider using it in your home or with your family or pets.
First up, Lavender.
Lavender hydrosol is great for any skin type and is soft & gentle on the skin. You might expect this hydrosol to smell strongly of lavender. Don’t be fooled when you open it and it doesn’t. The scent is lighter and earthier than lavender essential oil you might be used to. Take a look at this profile and then check out the ideas for use below the graphic! This is printable {click the one at the bottom to print}, so go ahead and start a new notebook or folder of hydrosols for your reference collection!
Suggestions for use:
- When dusting furniture, spray your dust rag (lightly) with Lavender hydrosol and wipe surfaces. You’ll leave a wonderful scent behind and find the chore a bit less mundane.
- Freshen your pets’ coat by spritzing with a 50/50 dilution of Lavender hydrosol with distilled water as you groom. Not only will this reduce static & unease with grooming, but also leave your pets fur refreshed.
- Mist bed linens, freshly laundered clothes or pet beds with Lavender hydrosol, for a calm relaxing environment in every area of your home.

Just got my first hydrosol, lavender. Can’t wait to try it on my dust rag. I really love the smell of it.
So I just finished the series “Crazy Rich Asians” and in this series the grandmother’s house is famous for its laundry service… what is their secret you may ask? Using lavender water after ironing. I think I just found my lavender water 😉
Great article highlighting lavender hydrosols!
Lavender essential oil is a staple ingredient in my beauty regimen but I didn’t know it could be used for dusting furniture as well. Thanks for sharing this, Christina.
I hope this wasn’t confusing – this is for Lavender Hydrosol 🙂
This is GREAT! Can’t wait to see more.
