DIY Room Spray Recipes - Make Your Own Natural Room Spray

Looking for information on how to make a natural room spray with essential oils?

We know a lot of our customers are buying our premium Bio-ethanol alcohol 95% for several uses, and one common product we get asked often is how do I make a natural essential oil room spray?

Fragrance room sprays can readily be purchased at the supermarkets and convenience stores, however if you look at the list of ingredients used, they contain various chemicals including artificial fragrances and other ingredients which you’ve probably never heard of (or be able to pronounce!). Our idea is to show you how to make your very own natural room sprays where you are in control of the ingredients and know what you are putting in and spraying inside your home.

By making your own Essential oil room sprays, you can create your own blends using your favourite essential oils. This is a great activity for the whole family and can be an excellent gift idea for any occasion such as Mother’s Day, Christmas or perhaps even for the new neighbour that’s just moved in next door!
