I like to make this recipe I found at Food.com's site. They have a few different recipes to try, to accomplish different purposes.
Calming Air Freshener
I have a bottle prepared in our master bathroom with the lavender recipe. This one I spray on ourbed pillows, linens and hanging bath towels to give them a calming scent.
- 1 cup of distilled water with 4 drops of lavender essential oil with 3 drops of chamomile oil
Disinfecting Spray
I have another bottle prepared in our master bathroom for deodorizing. This one I spray in the toilet, trash can and room spraying to keep areas freshened in between bathroom cleanings.
- 1 cup of distilled water with 3-4 drops of eucalyptus oil
Homeopathic Cleaning Spray
I use this recipe for cleaning surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen, found at Easy Aromatheraphy Recipes. This is a safer alternative to some of the harsh chemicals and leaves a pleasant, uplifting aroma in the room.Essential Oil Plug-in Refill Recipe
