Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Inquiring minds want to know - exactly how much water, witch hazel and borax plus amounts of eo's. there are those of us who need an exact recipe. :-)) Also, I have never heard of that base. Is there a reason you use it over alcohol (vodka) and distilled water? Just curious. Thanks and have a great day.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Chris: Thanks for the recipe. I know a few people that are trying to use a spray of bleach/water. I don't care for bleach (the smell) and it's a little too dangerous for my liking. I think that we will all like your spray (safer too)!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Hi Tammy, all... Spray's a good idea.. BUT, the eo's being volatile, don't they just evaporate in the mailbox or on the mail? Just wondering.............. Hugs, Marilyn - don't like bleach either! tammy walston wrote: > Chris: > Thanks for the recipe. I know a few people that are trying to use a spray of > bleach/water.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Thanks so much Chris and I have all the eos to make it too! My daughter has had a fever for a couple of days now. She slept through the night last night, so I'm hoping she's over it. My husband and I have been a little concerned because she usually doesn't have them for more than a day. We have been giving her Colloidal Silver and childrens Advil when needed and that may be why its lasted longer. Usually we just give her the Advil. Well I didn't mean to go on about it, but this Anthrax thing has got us more aware of things now and the mail, we always get a ton so we want to be careful too. Thanks again, Josephene - " chrisziggy " <chrisziggy1 Thursday, November 01, 2001 8:33 AM Mail Spray - Recipe > I make my spritzer blends up in a spray bottle (about 4 oz), I use a > base of water, witch hazel and borax (like I do with all of my room > spray bases now).

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Hi Patti, All PACorapi wrote: Inquiring minds want to know - exactly how much water, Just shy of 3 oz water witch hazel Just shy of 1 oz witch hazel and borax A pinch of borax, like a knife tip scoop of it plus amounts of eo's. About 15 drops total .. blend according to your nose's preferences there are those of us who need an exact recipe. :-)) Sorry, for the most part I'm a "pinch of this and a handful of that" kinda cook Also, I have never heard of that base. Is there a reason you use it over alcohol (vodka) and distilled water? Just curious. I like to use the witch hazel cause like alcohol it disperses the oil well, but rubbing alcohol ruins anything with its harsh scent and Everclear smells too .. boozy to me I add the borax as an emulsifier, it helps keeps the blend together after its shaken for a longer time Thanks and have a great day.
