Creating your own homemade dusting spray is not only cost-effective but also allows you to customize the scent and cleaning power. Here’s how you can make homemade dusting spray:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon of citrus castile soap
- 15 drops of lemon essential oil
- 16-ounce glass spray bottle
Directions:
- Prepare the Spray Bottle: Use a 16-ounce glass spray bottle to hold your homemade dusting spray. Glass is preferable because it doesn’t react with the essential oils, ensuring the longevity of your mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: In the glass spray bottle, combine the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon of citrus castile soap (Castile soap is a plant-based soap that’s gentle yet effective for cleaning.)
- 15 drops of lemon essential oil (Lemon essential oil provides a fresh, clean scent and has natural cleaning properties.)
- Mix Thoroughly: Give the ingredients a gentle shake to ensure they are well mixed. The castile soap will help emulsify the oil in water.
- Usage:
- Either spray the homemade dusting spray directly onto the surface you wish to clean.
- Alternatively, you can spray the solution directly onto an organic unbleached cotton unpaper towel.
- Wipe down the surface to remove dust and leave it clean and refreshed.
- Testing: Before using the homemade dusting spray on a new surface or type of furniture, it’s a good practice to test it in a concealed area to ensure it doesn’t negatively affect the finish or material.
