Linen spray is a great way to add a pleasant scent to your bed sheets or freshen up your linen closet. You can use your favorite essential oil blends or stick with a classic like lavender.

Lavender is known for its calming effects, helping with nervousness, anxiety, stress, and sleeplessness. This makes lavender linen spray ideal for spritzing on your pillows right before bed. It’s especially useful if you have a cranky toddler or know someone who struggles with sleep, as it can complement a relaxing bedtime routine.

Ingredients:
– Glass spray bottle
– 1 ounce witch hazel or vodka
– 10 drops lavender essential oil
– 3 ounces distilled water
– Small funnel or cup with a spout

I recommend using distilled or filtered water to avoid any residue after evaporation and to make the mixture last longer by reducing the chance of fungus growth. Add the witch hazel to the distilled water, as it helps the mixture evaporate faster and acts as a preservative. Then, add about 10 drops of lavender essential oil to the mix and carefully pour it into a glass spray bottle using a funnel.

How to Use Linen Spray:
Spritz your linens before bedtime or periodically spray your linen closet to keep everything smelling fresh. Linen sprays are also great for large items that can’t go in the washer, like sofas, rugs, and stuffed animals. Thanks to the antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of some essential oils, these sprays can actually fight the bacteria that cause bad odors, rather than just covering them up.

Other essential oil combinations to try for linen spray include:
– Energizing: rosemary, peppermint, lemon, orange, grapefruit, and tea tree.
– Uplifting: bergamot, orange, grapefruit, and ylang ylang.
– Calming & Anxiety: lavender, chamomile, marjoram, geranium, and frankincense.
