Lavender Linen Spray {DIY Recipe}
Lavender linen spray is a great alternative to artificial room freshener. And, it’s simple to make! This lavender linen spray has become my go-to natural room spray.
Ever since I learned about the amazing qualities of essential oils, I’ve used them in everything from natural hair and body products to natural household cleaners.
Once I started learning about how many chemicals were in our cleaning products, I went on a mission to replace everything with more natural alternatives.
One of the hardest things to replace has been scented candles and room spray.
Thankfully, I love the smell of lavender, so this lavender linen spray has become my go-to natural room and linen spray recipe in our home.
You could also use another essential oil in place of the lavender and it would work just as well.
This lavender linen spray is so simple to make with just a few readily-available ingredients. You can use either vodka or witch hazel in this recipe. I used witch hazel this time.

I want to try this! stopping by from creative muster’s party.
Thanks for stopping by, Tanya!
I love this simple recipe! Can a plastic bottle be used? Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ’s.
Yes, you can also use plastic if you prefer
Actually you have to use a special type of plastic bottle. Essential oils will degrade a “regular” plastic spray bottle. You have to get specific types of plastic bottles, known as plastic 2 bottles or ones that have the HDPE or PET(E) on the label. The label will be stamped on the bottom of the bottles. These types will not react with the oils and break down.
Oh la la! What a lovely gift idea. Thank you for sharing.
It does make a great gift!
Love this idea, but does it have to be a glass bottle? Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ’s.
No, feel free to use any bottle you have on-hand! Some people think essential oils shouldn’t be put in plastic, but it’s totally up to you.
Could you make sachets using poly fil and spray with this. Should you use more drops??
Hi Jan! To make sachets, I would just drop a few drops of essential oil directly on the poly fil, and not bother with the spray. The scent of the spray doesn’t last long enough for it to work in a sachet. Hope that helps!
Is there a reason you’re using a 16 oz spray bottle but only filling it half way? I’ve seen so many other tutorials do the same thing, so I wanted to know if there’s a particular reason. I’m giving the spray as a gift and want to fill it completely. Should I just double the recipe?
I was just using the bottle I had on-hand! But you can definitely use a smaller bottle. For gift giving, I would recommend buying a smaller bottle, like these: https://amzn.to/2rVGi0r
I can’t wait to try this!
Mmmm. . . I do love for my home to smell nice and fresh! What a good idea to make your own good-smelling spray.
Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!
Thanks so much for the feature, Richella!
Joy… such a great tutorial, including the ways to use linen spray! Came by way of Imparting Grace LP. Would love for you to link-up at Homestyle Gathering!
So glad you stopped by, Julie!
Thanks for this linen recipe. I love essential oils, specially lavender so I’m going to try this one. Shared too!
Thank you, Bianca!
This looks great. I never know what to do with lavender essential oil.
Glad it was helpful!
Does the bottle have to be glass? Is plastic ok?
Plastic would work just as well!
Just found your website, so I look forward to checking it out! Quick question, and sorry if this is odd, but does the spray bottle have to be glass or can it be plastic?
Glad you stopped by, Jennifer! Plastic is totally fine. 🙂
I'm always looking for new recipes for making my own household products! This is a good one to add to my list!
Looks lovely. I love the smell of lavender!
It's one of my favorite scents! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
How lovely, this must make everything smell wonderful! I will have to try this!
I just love spraying it all over! It's not a strong lavender scent, so it's pretty faint (I used 35 drops of essential oil), but I like it that way.
