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

Lavender is known for its ability to ease nervousness, anxiety, stress, and sleeplessness. This makes lavender linen spray perfect for spritzing on your pillows right before bed. It can be especially helpful if you have a cranky toddler or know someone who has trouble sleeping, complementing 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

Start with distilled or filtered water to avoid leaving any residue after it evaporates. Distilled water also helps the mixture last longer, reducing the likelihood of fungal growth. Add the witch hazel to the distilled water. The witch hazel (or vodka) aids in faster evaporation and helps preserve the mixture. Then, add about 10 drops of lavender essential oil. Carefully funnel or pour the mixture into a glass spray bottle.

How to Use Linen Spray:
Spritz your linens before bedtime or periodically spritz your linen closet to keep everything smelling fresh. Linen sprays are also great for large items that can’t be washed, like sofas, rugs, and stuffed animals. Many essential oils have antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, so they not only mask unpleasant odors but also combat the bacteria causing them.

Other Essential Oil Combinations for Linen Spray:
– Energizing: rosemary, peppermint, lemon, orange, grapefruit, and tea tree.
– Uplifting: bergamot, orange, grapefruit, and ylang ylang.
– Calming & Anxiety: lavender, chamomile, marjoram, geranium, and frankincense.
