– Mint: Energizes and promotes mental clarity.
– Eucalyptus: Helps clear congestion and repels insects.
– Rosemary: Stimulates memory and concentration.
Feel free to mix and match the oils to create your unique freshener blend.
Supplies You’ll Need
To make your essential oil room freshener, you’ll need the following supplies:
– Glass spray bottle
– Distilled water
– Essential oils of your choice
– Optional: Solubilizer/emulsifier (such as witch hazel or vodka)
Using a glass spray bottle is essential because essential oils can degrade plastic over time.
How to Make Your Essential Oil Room Freshener
Follow these simple steps to make your room freshener:
- Fill the glass spray bottle about halfway with distilled water.
- Add your choice of essential oils. For a standard 4 oz (120 ml) spray bottle, use 40-60 drops of essential oils.
- If using an emulsifier, add it to the bottle. This will help the essential oils mix evenly with the water.
- Top off the bottle with more distilled water, leaving some space at the top for shaking.
- Put the lid on, and shake the bottle well to mix the oils with water. Your room freshener is now ready to use!
Using Your Room Freshener
Using your essential oil room freshener is easy. Simply shake the bottle well and spray into the air as needed. You can also spray it onto curtains, linens, and upholstery to add a fresh, natural scent to your home.
Avoid spraying directly on finished wood surfaces, pets, or people. Test a small, inconspicuous area of any fabric items for colorfastness before applying the freshener.
How To Make Room Freshener With Essential Oils Example:
