Linen spray can elevate your going to bed experience from ‘blah’ to ‘WOW’ but it is not cheap to buy. I have also found that most of the linen spray I find in stores is a touch too strong and perfumy for my liking. I want to be able to detect just a hint of scent on my pillow, not drown in a cloud of fake chemical smells. Homemade linen spray is incredibly easy to make and amazingly inexpensive. You can choose the scents you like from whatever essential oils you have on hand. I found a (affiliate link—>>> ) Misto Olive Oil Sprayer

Homemade Linen Spray
Step One: Choose the essential oils for your linen spray
Step Two: Dilute approximately 50 drops of essential oil (or a blend of essential oils, depending on which ones you choose) into 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol (this will be 70% isopropyl alcohol from the drug store). Stir until combined.
Step Three: Add 1/2 cup of distilled water to the alcohol mixture and stir gently. This is your linen spray! Pour it into an 8 ounce bottle with a misting/sprayer attachment. Adjust volumes accordingly, depending on the size of your container.
To use your linen spray, shake gently and spritz your linens, your couch, your rug, or any other material that needs a hint of freshness. I would recommend not spraying fancy things like silk just in case!
