How to Make a Lemon Essential Oil Room Spray with Essential Oils.

A lemon essential oil room spray is a refreshing and natural way to invigorate your space, eliminate odors, and uplift your mood.

This easy-to-make room spray is a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to bring a burst of sunshine into any room! Here's a step-by-step guide to creating your own.

Ingredients

  1. Distilled Water (1 cup): Helps dilute the essential oils and prevents impurities.

  2. Lemon Essential Oil (20–25 drops): Provides a fresh, clean scent with antibacterial properties.

  3. Witch Hazel or Vodka (2 tablespoons): Acts as an emulsifier, helping essential oils mix with water and extending the spray’s shelf life.

  4. Spray Bottle (8 oz): Glass is preferred to avoid reactions with essential oils.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spray Bottle:

    • Wash the bottle with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly to ensure cleanliness.

  2. Add Witch Hazel or Vodka:

    • Pour 2 tablespoons of witch hazel or vodka into the bottle.

  3. Add Lemon Essential Oil:

    • Drop 20–25 drops of lemon essential oil directly into the bottle.

    • If using additional oils, add them now.

  4. Fill with Distilled Water:

    • Pour distilled water into the bottle, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top.

  5. Combine the Ingredients:

    • Screw on the spray bottle top tightly.

    • Shake the bottle vigorously to mix the ingredients thoroughly.

  6. Label Your Spray:

    • Write the contents and date of preparation on a label for easy identification.

How to Use the Lemon Room Spray

  1. Shake Before Use:

    • Essential oils naturally separate from water, so shake the bottle well before each use.

  2. Spray Around the Room:

    • Spritz the spray into the air or onto fabrics like curtains and cushions. Avoid direct contact with skin or polished surfaces.

  3. Reapply as Needed:

    • Use whenever you want to freshen the space or uplift your mood.

Storage Tips

  • Keep Away from Heat and Light: Store the spray in a cool, dark place to preserve the potency of the essential oils.

  • Shelf Life: Use within 1–3 months for the best fragrance and efficacy.
