I love for my home and car to smell fresh and inviting but with an active, full house of pets and people that are constantly on the go that isn’t always easy. While candles and air fresheners cover up smells they often cause those of us with sensitivities and allergies a lot of problems. We use a lot of essential oils at home these days and recently it occurred to me that I should be using it to make my own Homemade Fabric Freshener and Linen Spray to freshen up our furniture and linens. I experimented and came up with this great fabric freshener and linen spray recipe. It’s easy and affordable to make!
Easy Homemade Fabric Freshener and Linen Spray Recipe:
Fabric Freshener and Linen Spray Recipe Ingredients:
- 20-30 drops of essential oils – combination of your choice
- 3/4 cup distilled water – you can also use tap water
- 2 tablespoons vodka – if you do not want to use vodka you may use Witch Hazel, real vanilla or rubbing alcohol
- (affiliate link) spray bottle
Instructions:
Combine the essential oils, distilled water, and vodka (or Witch Hazel, rubbing alcohol, or vanilla) into the spray bottle and shake well.
Spray as needed on fabrics and linens around the house, in the bathroom, in the laundry, and even in the car!
You can combine your favorite essential oils for fabric and linen spray in different rooms or for different purposes. For example, lavender and chamomile mixed with real vanilla is ideal for the bedroom linens to give your sheets a relaxing scent while peppermint and orange make a great combination for the kitchen hand towels.
Have fun experimenting with creating your favorite scent for your homemade fabric freshener and linen spray! It is really great for all homes but especially if you pets and kids! Do you think you will try this linen spray recipe?

That sounds like a great idea for the car! Hubby is taking the train most days now so the car is just sitting and getting stuffy. I’ll try this out when we give the car a good spring clean!
I do use a couple of drops of essential oil in my laundry – lavender for the sheets, orange or other for the clothes. It’s much nicer than horrid chemical-smelling softeners that trigger allergies and asthma.
Thanks for the recipe.
