Air Freshener

 

Ingredients:

 

4 oz. clean spray bottle with a fine mist setting (do not use a bottle that

previously contained cleaning products or hair products such as hair spray).

30-40 drops of your favorite essential oil or essential oil blend keeping the

safety data of the chosen essential oil(s) in mind

1.5 ounces of distilled water and 1.5 ounces of high-proof alcohol (vodka is

suitable, rubbing alcohol is not) or 3 ounces of distilled water.

 

Example blends of essential oils that may be used:

 

20 drops lime

14 drops bergamot

4 drops ylang ylang

2 drops rose

 

15 drops clary sage

9 drops lemon

6 drops lavender

 

20 drops rosemary

8 drops grapefruit

4 drops peppermint

2 drops spearmint (optional)

 

15 drops bergamot

15 drops spearmint

 

Be sure and take heed in the safety data for the oil(s) you choose to use since

an air freshener, by its nature, will come in contact with all those in your

household.

 

Directions: Fill the spray bottle with the choice of either 1.5 ounces of

distilled water and 1.5 ounces of alcohol or 4 ounces of distilled water. (Even

though a 4 oz. bottle is suggested, leave about 1 oz. unfilled so you can shake

the bottle well between uses.) Then, add 30-40 drops of essential oil. Essential

oils can very in strength. You may want to try 20 drops at first especially if

you live in a household with someone who is sensitive to strong aromas. Shake

the bottle prior to each use, and let it sit for about a day before making a

conclusion that the aroma is too weak; the aroma can change after the air

freshener has had time to sit. Mist lightly in the room. Be especially careful

not to allow the air freshener mist fall onto furniture or into open beverages.
