Air Freshener

 

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

 

20 drops rosemary

8 drops grapefruit

4 drops peppermint

2 drops spearmint (optional)

 

15 drops clary sage

9 drops lemon

6 drops lavender

 

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.
