Artificial air fresheners always hurt my throat. Now I know why. Thanks!
I tried this and mmmmmmm…smells so fresh and clean…..I also sprayed some on my central air filter to go thru the entire house !
I think that I will try Sandalwood or Lavender next….
Thank you
Hi Gram,
I am glad you like it. It is a great alternative and the lavender works great as well. Enjoy.

Hi Jessica,
I am glad I could help.
xo.
A friend told me that you should boil the water first before adding the oils. It will last longer, and not get funky in the spray bottle. I don’t know if that’s true, but it kind of sounds right!
Thanks for the reminder — I forgot how great it is to have the house smelling of lavender!
Hi Monica,
Very good point, I think boiling the water is a good idea. (I will add that to the post) Lavender is amazing right. We love it in our house.
xo.
