Homemade Linen Spray






 I found this recipe on line after doing a lot of research on how to make linen spray.  The ingredients were easy enough to get, in fact you can order them through the site that I got the recipe from.  Find it here!
I was able to buy some heavy duty sprayers, and I downloaded a cool label from The Graphics Fairy.  I put Linen Spray, the scent and ingredients on the label with my print program.   I grabbed my trusty scale and started to mix my ingredients.

 LINEN SPRAY RECIPE

Sprinkle on sheets or other other linens to freshen. Spray on linens before ironing.
1 teaspoon (100 drops) lavender essential oil
5-10 drops peppermint, spearmint or rosemary essential oil (optional)
2 oz. formulator's alcohol
24 oz. distilled water
Pour essential oils and alcohol into a bottle, cap and shake to emulsion. Mix with distilled water. Mix will cloud, and eventually separate.
Shake well before each use. 


I added polysorbate 20 to my mix.  You don't need it using the formulators alcohol, but it is added insurance that my water and oil will not separate.   I added the same amount of polysorbate 20 as the essential oils

Measure the oil, polysorbate 20, and formulators alcohol. Shake it up to mix well.

Add water.  It takes on a milky appearance!

Pour into spray containers

Label from The Graphics Fairy.  See link above.






 Now I can hardly wait til Christmas to see if my sisters like the spray.
Cheers!

    Hey Karen,
    I actually did a post simialr to this a while back. You could eliminate a bunch of the ingredients and then be able to use it as a disinfectant AND a linen spray. I don't know abut you, but I'm ALL about simplicity and multi tasking! Here's my link ( http://chasinghailey.blogspot.com/2012/09/pin-it-monday-good-smellin-and-clean.html)

    Karen I love this! I want to make some and I was wondering, because it has oil in it, does it stain at all?
