Easy Room spray
•4 oz. clean spray bottle with a fine mist setting (do not use a bottle that previously contained cleaning products or hair products such as hair spray).
•30-40 drops of your favorite essential oil or essential oil blend keeping the safety data of the chosen essential oil(s) in mind
•1.5 ounces of distilled water and 1.5 ounces of high-proof alcohol (vodka is suitable, isopropyl or rubbing alcohol is not). Alternatively, you may omit the alcohol and increase the amount of distilled water to 3 ounces. The alcohol helps the aroma linger for a longer duration.
Example blends of essential oils that may be used:
•20 drops lime
•14 drops bergamot
•4 drops ylang ylang
•2 drops rose
•15 drops clary sage
•9 drops lemon
•6 drops lavender
•20 drops rosemary
•8 drops grapefruit
•4 drops peppermint
•2 drops spearmint (optional)
•15 drops bergamot
•15 drops spearmint
Be sure and take heed in the safety data for the oil(s) you choose to use since an air freshener, by its nature, will come in contact with all those in your household.
Directions: Fill the spray bottle with the choice of either 1.5 ounces of distilled water and 1.5 ounces of alcohol or 3 ounces of distilled water. (Even though a 4 oz. bottle is suggested, leave about 1 oz. unfilled so you can shake the bottle well between uses.) Then, add 30-40 drops of essential oil. Essential oils can very in strength. You may want to try 20 drops at first especially if you live in a household with someone who is sensitive to strong aromas. Shake the bottle prior to each use, and let it sit for about a day before making a conclusion that the aroma is too weak; the aroma can change after the air freshener has had time to sit. Mist lightly in the room. Be especially careful not to allow the air freshener mist fall onto furniture or into open beverages.

Your choice Air freshener
A simple air freshener can be made by adding 30 drops of any essential oil
or mixture of two or more int two cups of water. Put
it into a mister bottle and use as you would any store bought air
freshener. Also oils can be used in a simmer pot with water,
diffusers, potpourri and aroma lamps. Also adding essential oils to
your homemade cleaning products such as carpet sprinkles, mop water
will also add favorite scents to your home. Also when cleaning your
home, if others live with you, what they like and dislike. Example I
love jasmine oil but everyone else in my family hates it- so I limit
its use to my own personal products. They hate lavender which I
adore but have found it aceptable to them when blended with orange
oil. Through experimentation family likes and dislikes can be over
come. As for blending the oils you have purchased there are no wrong
way of doing this when using them for scenting your home. Always
remember that less is more when it comes to oils. It is simply a
matter of choice. However, some do play a strong role in effecting
your mood. Example if your already wired your wouldn't want to fill
your home with something that is going to enhance your emotion you
need something to calm it. By using the following list you will be
able to create a mixture that suits your personality, your home and
your family.
