I hope to make sachets of loosely woven fabric. I plan to fill the sachets with the lavender. Xmas gifts. How long will the smell last?

Sorry, we used the lavender for my daughter's wedding. We threw it at the end instead of rice, so I have no idea how long the fragrance would last.

I used this for my baby shower which was in July and the sachets I kept are still just as fresh smelling as when I made them. I think as long as you keep them in a cool dry place, they should last several years.

I had done a very fine lacy fabric and used them in a baby shower gift bag and they still smelt 3 days after when I was handing them out!

I added some to Epsom salt and a few drops of vanilla(same brand)I used about 5 drops of the lavender; was a very relaxing and amazing smelling bath!!

I use them until I can no longer smell the cedar smell. This is usually about 3 months, which is one season. Sometimes I'll let them go for 6 months, though. But never longer.

If you constantly worked with this material for hours at a time 3 to 4 days a week then yes, I might use something else. However, I'm using this to block yarn work. This does not take that long nor do you use it that often. There is no odor which you can usually smell if there is an unusual material in the product. Manufacturers have to put these warnings on their products if there is even a minute chance that a carcinogen might be there. You'll notice warnings on a lot of products you might use every day. Can't live your life in fear.

I don't know our machinebsays leave it in and change after 10 to 15 uses. If feet are real clean should be ok. The lavender one sure smells bad. Ibwould buy the Dr Schools refills.

Hi I made about 25 medium-sized throw cones and still had a bit left over. Each cone contained enough to be a noticeable amount to throw on the wedding couple from about 5 feet away without covering them with lavender!

I would not use this. You don't want to breathe it. I would get some DIY liquid household insecticide and spray your carpets, and then put your woolens and silks in garbage bags with some mothballs. If you have freezing weather, throw the bags outside for a few days!

It had a mild scent and it will take me a long time to use it up so I don't know how long it will stay fresh.

Hi Nancy,I have 7 of these in my home. I wish I could smell them but to me their smell is almost nothing. So I guess I can say the scent will fade.

NOPE, but if you want it to smell you could Febreze it with something nice like the lavender scented one. ;-)

I don't know, but I do know if you seal the bag properly when you open it the clothes in the bag will smell like your washing detergent or your fabric softner. I always spray a small square of cloth with lavender and it in the bag (after it has dried) and everything comes out beautifully and I have had some bags of clothes stored for four years.

Not really sure. I covered a post and let it sit for 24 hours in 80 degree weather. It continued to smell after 24. Less intense but still there. The post was buried and the smell obviously disappeared. I imagine the smell will go away eventually as time goes on. The question is, how much time?

Try adding Downy UN-stoppables to the beginning of the wash cycle as well! ON a good note the smell last for a little more than a week after the wash.

I put it in a sealed plastic bag with some lavender flowers and that helped a little. Baking soda might work, too. Eventually the chemical smell wore off.

Living in Vegas, I feel your pain. The answer is in our household's opinion yes, it may help. It's not an odor killer of course. The lavender fragrance is very potent but not unpleasant and I would think it should last until timely removal from property. Hope this helps. Btw, Spouse reminded me: we collect the baggies to the side of our bins until night before curbing. The bins have no doggy odor.

You have my sympathies. The odor last from three days to about week. I put mine in the dryer on fluff for a few minutes. It helps but only thing to do is suffer and wait. I wouldn't try wasting it because they are so heavy it would take longer than a week to dry.

Unfortunately it won't last long in large open spaces, if there is air flow it will wear out in minutes. Any small place like a desk, car or small room is best. It should last a few hours and a lot longer in small spaces. Some people can't ever get the smell out of cars
