Natural Air and Fabric Freshening Spray

Looking for a natural spray to clear the musty smell out of your carpets or fabrics after a long winter?  How about making your own Natural Spray Freshener with natural essential oils and natural antibacterial properties.  Here's a great recipe you can make in minutes:

1 cup water
2 tsp unflavored vodka (or you can use witch hazel)
1 tsp cornstarch
5 drops of essential oil of lemon or lavender (buy in natural food stores)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until cornstarch is dissolved. Then pour into a clean dry spray bottle.

To use your new fresh spray simply spray 6-8 inches from the surface of upholstery or carpeting to freshen and eliminate odors.

The lemon scent has been shown to lift spirits and improve mood.  Also, this plant oil has natural antibacterial properties.  Vodka or witch hazel are two other germ fighters and help the mist evaporate faster.

Enjoy!
