How to make DIY linen spray

Whether your state of mind calls for the soothing scent of Clary Sage or the heartening aroma of Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood™**, you can answer the call with a quick and easy DIY linen spray.

Ingredients

4 ounces distilled water

2 ounces witch hazel or rubbing alcohol

35-45 drops essential oil

Instructions

1. Put witch hazel or rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle.*

2. Add essential oils (see below for scent ideas).

3. Add water and shake well.

4. Lightly mist your linens.

*Because oil and water don’t mix, witch hazel and rubbing alcohol act as emulsifiers to help the ingredients combine.

YL tip: Always shake your linen spray before using it to maximize the scent.
