Holiday Air Fresheners Recipe Tips
- Let your spray "marinate" for about a day so the scents have time to mingle. Be sure to shake spray before using each spray session as water and oil do not mix.
- Distilled or filtered water is preferred to keep the integrity of your spray mixture pure (impurities in tap water could alter your spray).
- For those that don't have access to grain alcohol, vodka or witch hazel could be used instead.
- Keep homemade air freshener sprays out of reach of kids and pets.
- These oil blends can be used in a diffuser, but you will not need as many drops.
