Do you love slipping between scented sheets after a long, hard day, or opening your linen closet and having a lovely aroma waft out instead of that stale scent that often pervades the linen closet? Here are a few sprays you can make that will not only have your sheets smelling wonderful, but spray it onto your towels as well. You will love stepping out of the bath or shower and draping yourself in a beautifully scented towel. Frugal elegance.
This is also a great gift idea. Tuck your homemade scented spray into a basket with calming teas, a candle, perhaps a scented soap. A wonderful and thoughtful gift for pennies.
You can purchase the spray bottles in almost any pharmacy or market. Enjoy!
Homemade Linen Sprays
Pour 2 tablespoons 100 proof vodka (you can use isopropyl alcohol if you do not have vodka) into a 32-ounce spray bottle (do not reuse a bottle that has contained cleaning or hair products) then add the following:
Jasmine Bergamot Linen Spray
1 teaspoon jasmine oil and 1/2 teaspoon bergamot oil
Lavender Sandalwood Linen Spray
1 teaspoon lavender oil and 1/2 teaspoon sandalwood oil
Vanilla Ginger Linen Spray
1 teaspoon vanilla oil and 2 drops ginger oil
Top the vodka and oils with distilled water, cap and shake to mix. Spray linens as needed, shaking bottle lightly before each use.
*If you have a favorite scented oil, substitute the above oils and add 1 1/2 - 2 tsp of your favorite oil to the alcohol and water.
Also...Be careful not to allow the mist to fall onto your skin, furniture or into open beverages. Use lightly colored essential oils, otherwise your linen spray could stain your bed linens.
