Freshen your home with peppermint

by

Using a homemade, natural peppermint room spray can bring a fresh, lively holiday scent to your home.  I spritz some in my entry halI to greet my guests.  I use the spray around all my sofas and cushioned chairs.  Hold the spray about two feet away from your stuffed furniture and spritz gently.  Do not use on wood furniture.  It is great to freshen linens and bathmats.  Leave a pretty bottle in the bathroom for a quick deodorizer.

I use a 4 oz cobalt blue glass spray bottle which is usually available at Whole Foods. Any glass spray bottle will do.  The amounts can be adjusted proportionally depending upon the size of your bottle.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4oz distilled water
  • 1Tsp plain vodka
  • 6-8 drops organic essential oil

Mix well

Do not breathe the spray in directly.  Peppermint essential oil should not be used unless diluted.

Enjoy!
