DIY: Eco-Friendly Room Spray

Alcohol Room Spray

• 1

  Pour 2 oz. vodka into a clean, empty spray bottle. Reader's Digest Canada recommends adding 1/4 tsp. bergamot essential oil, five drops lemon essential oil and eight drops clove essential oil to the bottle. Put the lid on the bottle and shake it up well. Vodka helps to banish odors and the essential oils create a pleasing scent. Substitute other essential oils as desired.

  Add 1 cup water to the bottle. Put the lid on and shake it up again.

  Let the bottle of liquid sit for about three days. Spritz the mixture throughout the desired room.
