I already love to diffuse my oils in areas of my home to refresh the space and tap into their aromatherapy benefits, so I thought I&#8217;d create a room spray to help freshen up fabrics and pillows. While I love using a variety of oils to create different scents, I loved the bright and cheerful scent this DIY Citrus Room Spray added to my linens.<\/p>\n<p>I started by adding some mandarin peels to a glass spray bottle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/diy-citrus-room-spray173.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>Then I added about half a cup of vodka (the vodka helps the water and oil to mix) over the peels.<\/p>\n<p>And then about half a cup of distilled water.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/diy-citrus-room-spray174.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>Lastly I added about 15 drops of lemongrass essential oil and 25 drops of wild orange essential oil.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/diy-citrus-room-spray176.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/diy-citrus-room-spray179.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>I covered the spray bottle with the spray lid and gave it all a gentle few shakes before spraying it over my sheets and in bedrooms.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/diy-citrus-room-spray180.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>This DIY Citrus Room Spray has such a cheery scent and makes my bed feel like it&#8217;s just been washed (which I never do enough, let&#8217;s be real). The spray is also great for refreshing rugs and carpets. I love using it on my dog&#8217;s bed and even shower curtains to give it an extra few days before washing. I&#8217;m looking forward to experimenting with more scent combinations like oranges and cloves, green tea and cucumber, or lavender and lemon.<\/p>\n<h3>For more essential oil tips, DIYS, and uses be sure to <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ourhollydays\">follow the Our Holly Days page on Facebook<\/a> where I update daily throughout the week.<\/h3>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2017\/09\/06\/diy-citrus-room-spray\/\">DIY Citrus Room Spray<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/\">Our Holly Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2017\/09\/06\/diy-citrus-room-spray\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"DIY Citrus Room Spray\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Holly Sosa As an essential oils junkie, I&#8217;m always searching and experimenting with ways I can utilize my collection of oils in my home (this DIY Creamsicle Lip Scrub is still one of my favorites).
