What you will need:

  • Spray bottle (you can use an old freshener or buy a new one)
  • Distilled water
  • Essential oils of your favorite scents (e.g. lavender, mint, citrus, rose)
  • Full alcohol (vodka or isopropyl alcohol)

Step-by-step instruction:

  • Fill the bottle 3/4 full with distilled water.
