DIY Linen Spray

They offer linen spray that you can buy at a grocery store but most of them contain a lot of chemicals and can be harsh on sensative skin. This DIY recipe is easy to make with household products that will keep you clothing and bedding smelling fresh.

Ingredients
  

  • Water (Distilled or Filtered)
  • 1 tbsp. Rubbing Alcohol (Vodka can be used as substitute)
  • 30 drops Cypress Essential Oil
  • 24 drops Lavender Essential Oil
  • 30 drops Fir Essential Oil
  • 36 drops Lemon Essential Oil

Equipment

  • Spray Bottle (8 oz, preferrably glass)

Method
 

  1. Add the vodka and drops of essential oils into the spray bottle, swirling bottle to combine ingredients.
  2. Let the mixture sit in the bottle for 15 to allow ingredients to combine.
  3. Add distilled or filtered water, leaving half of an inch from the top.
  4. Add the spray cap and shake the mixture to combine ingredients.
  5. Shake bottle before each use and is safe for most fabric types.
  6. Store in a cold, dry location such as a pantry or below the sink.

Notes

This spray is safe for most fabrics but if you're concerned with delicate fabrics, it's recommended to do a patch test. The alcohol will preserve the spray so you can use it for months without the need to refrigerate.
