DIY Linen Spray Instructions
DIY linen spray with essential oils. It’s a great way to freshen up the house, and since this DIY linen spray is made only with natural ingredients, it’s child-friendly and pet-safe. You can mist pillows, blankets, shower curtains, and the sofa. Instead of using peony oil, you can also combine rose and geranium, rose and lavender, or peony and jasmine. Use alcohol that contains at least 95% alcohol, such as Everclear (190 Proof). The alcohol helps to combat bacteria (so important!) and evaporates immediately after spraying. It also acts as a solubilizer to keep the water and oils homogeneously mixed.
Materials
- 60 ml (2.1 fl oz / 1/4 cup) distilled water
- 60 ml (2.1 fl oz / 1/4) ethyl alcohol (see tip above)
- 40 drops peony essential oil (Alternatively, use a high-quality peony fragrance oil.)
- 30 drops Bulgarian rose essential oil (Rosa damascena)
- 10 drops white rose essential oil (Rosa alba)
Tools
- 120 ml (4.2 fl oz) spritz bottle with a fine mister (I used an empty, cleaned deodorant bottle.)
- printable label (download below)
Instructions
- Mix dry the linen spray. Using a funnel, fill the distilled water, ethyl alcohol, and the essential oils into the spritz bottle. Close the lid tightly and shake the bottle until the liquids are well combined.
- Print and apply the label. Print the gift tags on DIN A4 or letter size self-adhesive or sticker paper and cut out along the grey outline. Adhere the label to the bottle. The label comes in different sizes, giving you more options when choosing a bottle.
