Traditional room sprays and scented plug-ins are often made with toxic chemicals and artificial fragrances.

Once you switch to using essential oils in an all-natural DIY Room Spray, you’ll notice a wonderful difference in the atmosphere of your home.

Essential oils are oils created by plants to attract pollinators and protect themselves from predators. By using the benefits of essential oils, you can create a toxin-free, amazingly-smelling home.

Today, we’ll be looking at how you can use essential oils to make a room spray filled with the benefits of essential oils.

What’s in This Essential Oil Room Spray?

By using the benefits of essential oils, you can replace air fresheners created with toxic chemicals to make your own room sprays. Here’s what you’ll need.

Spray Bottle

I like to use a 2 oz spray bottle. I find this size allows me to use the entire recipe within its shelf life and keep it in a room without it taking up much space. Using an amber colored or aluminum spray bottle will also help to increase the shelf life of your spray.

Isopropyl Alcohol

Since oil and water don’t mix, it is important to use a solubolizer to help mix essential oils into the water. While this ingredient isn’t necessary to the recipe, isopropyl alcohol (or any other strong alcohol) will help the aroma last longer once it’s sprayed and increase the shelf life of the recipe.

Essential Oils

Take a look at the essential oils listed under the different benefits above. Which benefits are you looking for? What oils stand out to you? Make your own blends and customize the aroma of your spray. Get creative!

Distilled Water

Using distilled water will help increase the shelf life of your spray, but if you don’t have any on hand, you can use regular tap water.

Things to Consider When Making Your DIY Room Spray

Essential oils are very potent and not all essential oils are safe for everyone. Be sure to look at the safety precautions of each essential oil you are using on the details section of its product page.
