In a spray bottle, fill nearly to the top with water, add a few drops of your favourite pure essential oil or a combination of oils and a few drops of vegetable based detergent (this helps the oil and water emulsify – apparently). Effective as an air freshener or toilet spray.

Alternatively:

  • Add a few drops of oil to your oil burner for a room deoderiser.
  • Spray your curtains with the air freshener spray or your windscreens to catch the breeze and disperse throughout the room (test a patch first to check for colourfastness before you spray any curtains or upholstry! Essential oils may bleach fabric.)
  • Wipe doorways, windowsill etc with a little essential oil to deoderise a room.
  • Add a drop or two of oil to cotton wool and place in a room or in the garbage bin for freshness
  • Wipe a drop of essential oil over a light bulb before turning it on. The heat will disperse the fragrance.
