In reply to Jenny. You could substitute regular tap water. Tap water has other minerals in it that might affect the scents, but if I'm out of distilled water I just use tap. I have a septic system and I honestly hadn't thought of it until you asked! I googled it and found an article from Septic Safe Cleaning that says essential oils are safer for septic systems than harsher cleaning chemicals. Here's a link to the article. I'll call my septic tank guys in the morning and see if they agree (and is it sad I have septic tank guys?).

I’m curious if anyone on a septic tank system uses this. It doesn’t seem like it would cause any problems, does it?
Also, why distilled water?
Thank you!

In reply to Christine Roppel. I guess you could use vegetable oil, but the essential oils is what gives it the nice aroma. If you want to try vegetable oil, then just put about 1/4 teaspoon in the bottle.

Thanks for this, Pam, will definitely try it. New house (finally!) has extractor fans, but I'd rather save the energy.

is there a substitute for the oils? Such as vegetable oil?

Thanks, Pam, I am going to give this a try. I think we will probably have a reason to use it! LOL
