The Easiest Way to Make a Household Dusting Spray

By Lesia

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon citrus castile soap
  • 15 drops lemon essential oil
  • 16-ounce glass spray bottle
    Instructions:
  1. Prepare the Spray Bottle:
  • Use a 16-ounce glass spray bottle to hold your household dusting spray. Glass is preferable because it does not react with essential oils, ensuring the durability of your mixture.
  1. Combine Ingredients:
  • In the glass spray bottle, combine the following ingredients:
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon citrus castile soap (castile soap is a plant-based soap that is gentle yet effective at cleaning).
  • 15 drops lemon essential oil (lemon essential oil provides a fresh, clean scent and has natural cleaning properties).
  1. Mix Well:
  • Gently shake the ingredients to ensure they are well mixed. Castile soap will help emulsify the oil in the water.
    To use:
  1. Spray the dusting spray directly onto the surface you wish to clean.
  2. Alternatively, you can spray the solution directly onto an unbleached organic cotton cloth.
  3. Wipe the surface to remove dust and leave it clean and fresh.
    Test:
    Before using homemade dusting spray on a new surface or type of furniture, it is good practice to test it on an inconspicuous area to ensure it will not negatively affect the finish or material.
