DIY Linen Spray with Essential Oils (Recipe)
Materials:
- 6-10 drops essential oil/s of your choice
- 2 tbsps. vodka or witch hazel
- 1 cup distilled water
- small glass spray bottle
Directions:
- Combine vodka or witch hazel and essential oils in the spray bottle. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the scents to combine before shaking.
- Add distilled water to the bottle, leaving enough room so that the mixture doesn’t overflow when replacing the top.
- Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Shake well before each use.
- Liberally spray on fabrics as desired.
TIPS:
- If you want a stronger scent, add up to 4 more drops of essential oil to the mixture. You can mix and match oils of your choice, but it would be wise to smell each one before adding to the spray bottle.
- Even when oil doesn’t mix with either water or alcohol, using the latter allows the spray to dry quickly while helping the scent to linger longer. This spray will last for months even without refrigerating.
- If possible, use light colored oils when spraying directly on fabric to avoid staining.
- Most sprays are safe for most fabric types. But you can always patch test to small areas to be certain.
