The Easiest Way to Make a Household Dusting Spray
Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon citrus castile soap
- 15 drops lemon essential oil
- 16-ounce glass spray bottle
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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).
- Mix Well:
- Gently shake the ingredients to ensure they are well mixed. Castile soap will help emulsify the oil in the water.
To use:
- Spray the dusting spray directly onto the surface you wish to clean.
- Alternatively, you can spray the solution directly onto an unbleached organic cotton cloth.
- 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.
