Materials Needed:
- Distilled water
- Witch hazel or vodka
- Essential oils (e.g., lavender, lemon, peppermint)
- Glass spray bottle
- Funnel (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients:
- In a clean glass spray bottle, combine 1/2 cup of distilled water with 1/2 cup of witch hazel or vodka.
- The distilled water serves as the base, while the witch hazel or vodka acts as a preservative and helps disperse the essential oils evenly.
- Choose Essential Oils:
- Select your favorite essential oils or a combination of oils to create your desired scent.
- Lavender, lemon, and peppermint are popular choices for their fresh and uplifting aromas.
- Add Essential Oils:
- Add 10-15 drops of essential oils to the water and witch hazel or vodka mixture.
- Adjust the number of drops based on your personal preference and the strength of the oils.
- Mix Well:
- Secure the lid on the spray bottle and shake well to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
- This will ensure that the essential oils are evenly dispersed throughout the solution.
- Label the Bottle (Optional):
- If desired, label the spray bottle with the name of the scent or the essential oils used.
- This makes it easy to identify the room spray and can add a decorative touch to the bottle.
- Test the Spray:
- Before using the room spray in a larger area, perform a patch test by spraying a small amount in an inconspicuous area.
- Check for any adverse reactions or staining on surfaces.
- Spray Around the Room:
- Once the spray has passed the patch test, use it to freshen up any room in your home.
- Simply hold the spray bottle upright and mist the air, focusing on areas where odors tend to linger.
- Use as Needed:
- Use the natural room spray whenever you want to create a pleasant atmosphere in your home.
- It’s perfect for eliminating cooking odors, refreshing linens, or setting the mood for relaxation.
- Store in a Cool, Dark Place:
- When not in use, store the room spray in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
- This will help preserve the potency of the essential oils and extend the shelf life of the spray.
- Enjoy a Fresh-Smelling Home:
- Sit back and enjoy the fresh, inviting scent of your homemade natural room spray as it fills your home with fragrance.
- Breathe in deeply and appreciate the simple pleasure of a clean and welcoming environment.
