Uplifting Deodorizing Room Spray With Essential Oils

Posted by Kelly Essential Oils, Home and Garden, Natural Cleaning 18 comments

Instead of using scented candles and sprays with questionable or down right toxic ingredients that you’ll be breathing into your lungs and body, choose to make your own healthy and natural deodorizing room spray with essential oils.

Natural Deodorizing Room Spray

A Natural Deodorizing Room Spray can be used in areas like:

  1. pet beds
  2. linens
  3. closets
  4. gym bags
  5. laundry rooms
  6. couches
  7. bathrooms
  8. spray around the room to freshen it before guests arrive.

The fun thing is that you can alter it to your own personal tastes and create a scent that is just your style.

Uplifting Deodorizing Room Spray Oils

My particular Room spray is formulated to kill all odors naturally and organically with essential oils.
The essential oils chosen are those specifically with odor killing properties, yet this combination smells light and uplifting:

  • lemon
  • lavender
  • bergamot
  • eucalyptus

These essential oils are not only great at killing odors, they all share in common the property of being light and uplifting. The combination of top notes that kill odors makes this room spray one of my favorite sprays.

Does it work?

Yes! I have a lot of animals, as well as teenage boys at my house often and I’ve had to spray my carpets and couches. This spray is definitely more effective than other sprays.

Animal Safety

I have used this around dogs without any problems or irritation from them at all. My dog is very sensitive to smells. She knows I’ve used sprays on her for fleas and ticks before and is wary of my sprays. But she doesn’t mind this room spray at all.

Cats are notoriously more sensitive. I never spray any essential oils when cats are around. After the spray has settled, I allow cats to return. This hasn’t bothered them at all, but like I said, always use caution around cats.

    Made your room deodorizing spray today for my son. He likes it and plans to continue using it. I think it’s lovely.

    Such a good idea…. we do this and love it… I have always hated regular air fresheners, but these work and actually help us too. 🙂

    Love this recipe. I find it actually helps eliminate odors. I’m spraying it regularly on the soft surfaces, including the dog bed, and our family room doesn’t have the odor it used to. So happy to have this! So relieved to find a healthy solution to an issue that used to make me CrAzY!!

    Can you use fragrance oils in place of essential oils?? My mother would like a floral scent.

      I don’t recommend fragrance oils for health reasons, but there are many floral essential oils to choose from, like rose, lavender, ylang ylang, jasmine, neroli

    How long will the spray last before going off (bacteria growth)?

      It can last a few months, for sure.

    Can you add a little rubbing alcohol so it evaporates quicker? Or will that mess it up?

      It already evaporates quickly. I’m not sure if I would want to spray alcohol for fear of harming wood and furniture.

      Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) is harmful if inhaled. Add 2 tablespoons of vodka or witch hazel before adding the oils, then add your water.

        Can I reuse spray bottles without rinsing them or should I clean them out before I refill it with a new batch of spray?

          Any old oil residue can become rancid over time so I always recommend washing before reusing. If you just filled it and used it all up in just a few days then I wouldn’t worry about it.

    Are any of these essential oils harmful to pets and if so which ones should be avoided?
    Main concern is my little pooch.
    Thank you
