Creating a new room spray is one of my favorite ways to usher in the spring season. These 11 Essential Oil Room Sprays for Spring are designed to promote feelings of joy, happiness, and merriment. The sweet-smelling scents are so fresh and vibrant. Just like spring!
To me, spring represents renewal. A fresh start. As winter ends and spring begins, I start to feel recharged. I want my home to feel like it just got a makeover. I try to tackle all the cleaning projects I’ve been putting off all winter.
Between spring cleaning, organizing, and purging, there is so much to do. You can instantly change the vibe in a room with a delightful room spray. Essential oils have the power to influence our environment and even our emotions. They can help your body feel calm, relaxed, or energized. Or they can make your house smell clean and fragrant.
Dangers of Air Fresheners
Let’s talk for a minute about store-bought room sprays. Their main purpose is to mask odors. In actuality, they are doing more harm than good. Air fresheners contain a plethora of chemicals, some that you cannot even pronounce.
Possibly the worst offender is the ingredient “fragrance.” Manufacturers in the US are not required to disclose what exactly that means. According to the EWG, there could literally be dozens of chemicals hiding under the one category listed under ‘fragrance.’
When you use a commercial air freshener, you are essentially polluting the air in your home with a slew of chemicals that don’t belong. Many of the chemicals in air fresheners contain ingredients known to cause skin allergies, cancer, infertility, birth defects, reproductive problems, learning disabilities, and asthma.
There is another way! I want my home to smell fresh and clean, but I am not willing to sacrifice the health of my family by using an air freshener. You can make a safe room spray with simple ingredients you have on hand and therapeutic grade essential oils.
Here are 11 Essential Oil Room Spray recipes that are perfect for spring, or anytime your home needs a burst of freshness:
Spring Essential Oil Room Spray
Ingredients
- 4 oz spray bottle (check out this gorgeous blue glass bottle)
- 3 oz distilled water
- 1 oz witch hazel (or 100 proof vodka)
- 6 drops Joy
- 6 drops Tangerine
- 4 drops Spearmint
Directions
- Combine water and witch hazel (or vodka) in a spray bottle
- Add essential oils. Swirl to combine
- Spray into the air in all the rooms of your home. Repeat as needed
The alcohol and witch hazel are added to allow the recipe to last all season long. Adding the witch hazel or vodka will not affect the scent as much as you think. You can choose to use only distilled water, but your room spray will not last as long.
