Lavender Linen Spray {DIY Recipe}

1.7Kshares

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.

Lavender essential oil has been a staple in our home ever since the birth of my first baby almost 17 years ago. My midwife was the one who first introduced me to herbs and essential oils, and I’m so glad she did!

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.

How to Use Natural Linen Spray

As I mentioned above, lavender linen spray has a variety of uses.
I like to spray some on my pillowcase before bed, since lavender promotes relaxation. You can also spray it on towels, clothing that is being ironed, or even your skin!

    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

    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?

      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.
