Discover how to make a simple, homemade essential oil linen spray with just a few ingredients. This quick and easy DIY project will have you creating a non-toxic linen spray in minutes.
I love creating a warm, inviting, and cozy atmosphere in my home, and a big part of that is having a fresh, clean scent. However, many store-bought linen and fabric sprays, candles, and wall plugins are packed with toxic chemicals that I prefer to avoid. These products often contain “fragrance,” a blanket term for chemicals that don’t have to be disclosed because they’re considered “trade secrets.” I’m mindful of the fact that we’re constantly exposed to carcinogens and endocrine disruptors, and while there’s a lot beyond our control, I’m intentional about what I bring into my home. Small, conscious choices to reduce toxic exposure really add up over time, and I’m all for making those changes where I can.
HOW TO USE DIY ESSENTIAL OIL LINEN SPRAY
I love using this linen spray on bedding, in our linen closet, and even on the furniture in our living room to freshen things up. It’s become a key part of my evening routine, helping to create a cozy, calming atmosphere. There’s nothing quite like starting the week with fresh sheets, calming oils like Cedarwood and Lavender in the diffuser, the soft glow of the salt lamp, and a spritz of this linen spray on our duvet. It’s such a heavenly ritual and the perfect way to kick off the week feeling relaxed and ready for whatever comes next.
WHAT ESSENTIAL OILS CAN YOU USE FOR DIY ESSENTIAL OIL LINEN SPRAY?
For this DIY Essential Oil Linen Spray, you can choose almost any essential oil you like! Just avoid oils that tend to be sticky or dark in color, such as Vetiver or Myrrh, as they could stain fabric. I personally love the combination of Bergamot and Lavender. Other great blends include Cedarwood and Lavender, Wild Orange and Lavender, Lavender and Eucalyptus, or Ylang Ylang and Wild Orange. Feel free to get creative and use whichever oils you love most. I highly recommend this brand of essential oils for their quality and scent!
