Lemon and Lavender Room Refresher

Inside: Does your home smell stale? Check out how to make this easy room refreshener spray. It only takes a few ingredients and you will love how good your room smells. Make up this DIY room refresher today.

I love a warm spring day when I can open up the windows and let some fresh air into our home.

Opening the windows just helps get rid of stale smells and lingering smells from breakfast. Bacon always smells great while making it, but later in the day it still remains.

But, since I can't always have the windows open I sometimes need more help to get rid of that day-old, greasy bacon smell.

So to help with the smell I made up a batch of DIY room refresher.

It's kind of like a Febreze, only without all the nasty chemicals. Plus, it is way cheaper to make than a can of Febreze.

This lemon and lavender room refresher will instantly make your house smell better and has a great smell that lasts too. Plus it helps get rid of stale odors in just about any room!

Homemade Room Refreshener

When making this room refreshener you can use just about any kind of essential oils. If you don't like the scents below just substitute one of your favorite smells.

That is what is so great about this recipe. You can custom make it to suit your needs.

Getting Started

You will need a few things to get started on making this room refreshener spray.

• spray bottle (I use these glass bottles from Amazon or these from Grove)
• rubbing alcohol
• lemon essential oil
• lavender essential oils

Mixing Everything Up

Measure out 2 cups of water and add to the spray bottle. Then, add in 2 ounces of rubbing alcohol.

Once you have added your water and rubbing alcohol then you can add in the essential oils.

Add around 10 drops lavender essential oil and 15 drops lemon essential oil (or whatever essential oils you prefer!).

Screw on the spray bottle top and shake well.

Using The Room Refresher

Make sure you have the spray bottle set to mist.

Spray into the room to add a fresh smell. The lemon smell comes out right away and the lavender seems to linger leaving a fresh smell in the room for hours.

You can also try other essential oil fragrances if you want to mix them up a little.

The room refresher makes a great bathroom spray for smells. This also works well in the car too!

To avoid irritation to pets and kids make sure you use an essential oil blend that won't bother them. My dog is prone to seizures so I avoid certain essential oils.

In just a few minutes time you can make an easy and fantastic smelling room refresher that will make your home smell great.
