Thanks to everyone who responded! I will try a couple different things and see what happens. My Cinn Orange looks fine now, as usual, but since it happened twice, I wanted to ask!! Thank you again.

My soap room is in the basement. I then bring my equipment upstairs to wash. It's a pain and I will hopefully be having my husband install a utility sink soon! I think you will be fine with the bathroom and kitchen being close. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I have only noticed it with my kitchen (coffee), green tea and then my GM cinnamon orange. It sure seemed it was the EO, but why would it do that? It eventually dries. I first started out insulating, then kept reading that with wood molds and GM--you should not...
