To make a spray use 1 to 2 drops if lavender EO to a liter of water shake vigorously and let sit.  This is called a hydrosol.  It is not truly lavender water, as you have not
distilled the water and oil together.  If you have a still then you could mix lavender flowers with water and distill off the water to get  true lavender water.  The EO of
lavender will not go into solution but remain as an oil in the water, just finely divided and scenting the water slightly.  It should not stain linens and will evaporate
easily upon ironing.  I think the B&BW uses lavender scent (manmade) for their products.
