DIY Air Freshener Ideas with Essential Oils
Who doesn’t love walking into a room that smells amazing? Commercial air fresheners can be expensive and filled with chemicals. Luckily, you can create your own air fresheners using essential oils! Here are some DIY air freshener ideas for a fresher, healthier home.
Citrus Room Spray
Citrus scents are fresh and energizing. To create a citrus room spray, mix 10 drops of sweet orange essential oil, 5 drops of lemon essential oil, and 5 drops of grapefruit essential oil in a 4-ounce spray bottle filled with distilled water. Shake well before each use and spray around the room.
Lavender Linen Spray
There’s nothing quite like the scent of fresh lavender to help you relax and unwind. To make a lavender linen spray, mix 10 drops of lavender essential oil and 1 tablespoon of witch hazel in a 4-ounce spray bottle. Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water, shake well, and spray on your linens before bedtime.
Peppermint and Eucalyptus Shower Spray
Add some pep to your step with a refreshing peppermint and eucalyptus shower spray. Mix 10 drops of peppermint essential oil, 10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil, and 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol in a 4-ounce spray bottle. Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water, shake well, and spray in your shower for an invigorating experience.
Vanilla and Cinnamon Reed Diffuser
A warm and cozy scent can make your home feel inviting. To make a vanilla and cinnamon reed diffuser, combine 1/4 cup of sweet almond oil, 20 drops of vanilla essential oil, and 10 drops of cinnamon essential oil in a small glass jar. Insert reed diffuser sticks and flip them every few days for maximum scent dispersion.
