We all want our homes and environments to smell good, right? That’s where these DIY room sprays for fall come in.
It’s a great way to freshen your home or office, especially when the windows have been closed up tight for a while. Even better, you’re going to make these DIY room sprays yourself, so you’ll know exactly what’s in them.
Much like the DIY air fresheners, there’s no icky chemicals or yucky, questionable ingredients here. There’s just a few, simple ingredients that you can easily find, if you don’t already have them at home. Even better, make a set of three or 5 of these in complimentary scents, and put a small care package together for a friend or loved one. Keep a spray or two in any place that may need some freshening up. Guest bathrooms, powder rooms, guest bedrooms, your office or desk at work. Heck, even your car!

A few questions, answered
Why epsom salts? We all know that oil and water don’t combine. It’s no different for essential oils and distilled water. The epsom salts help to keep the ingredients emulsified.
Why distilled water? Tap water, even filtered water, can have yuckies in it, ranging from microorganisms to chemicals. Distilled water gets rid of pretty much all impurities, and you’re left with pure water. This is easy to find in stores, and generally costs around a dollar or so for a gallon.
Why amber glass? Essential oils are light sensitive, and exposure to light starts to break down the oils. Amber glass helps to block the light, and actually helps absorb harmful UV wavelengths.
