Linen Spray Recipe (Bed Linen Spray)

Ingredients:

• 4 oz. clean spray bottle with a fine mist setting (do not use a bottle that previously contained cleaning products or hair products such as hair spray).
• 30-40 drops of your favorite calming/relaxing or sensual essential oil or essential oil blend keeping the safety data of the chosen essential oil(s) in mind.
• 1.5 ounces of distilled water and 1.5 ounces of high-proof alcohol (vodka is suitable, rubbing alcohol is not) or 3 ounces of distilled water.

Example blends of essential oils that may be used:

Calming/Relaxing:

• 10 drops Lavender
• 10 drops Clary Sage
• 10 drops Mandarin or Bergamot

• 30 drops Roman Chamomile
  (Avoid German Chamomile due to its weaker calming properties and its deep blue color that can discolor your linens)

• 20 drops Roman Chamomile
  (Avoid German Chamomile due to its weaker calming properties and its deep blue color that can discolor your linens)
• 15 drops Bergamot

Sensual:

• 15 drops Sandalwood
• 15 drops Grapefruit or Bergamot
• 2 drops Rose
• 2 drops Jasmine

• 10 drops Sandalwood
• 2 drops Jasmine
• 2 drops Ylang Ylang
• 3 drops Ginger
• 10 drops Bergamot
• 3 drops Lime

Be sure and take heed in the safety data for the oil(s) you choose to use.

Directions: Fill the spray bottle with the choice of either 1.5 ounces of distilled water and 1.5 ounces of alcohol or 3 ounces of distilled water. (Even though a 4 oz. bottle is suggested, leave about 1 oz. unfilled so you can shake the bottle well between uses.) Then, add 30-40 drops of essential oil. Essential oils can very in strength. You may want to try 20 drops at first especially if you or your partner are sensitive to strong aromas. Shake the bottle prior to each use, and let it sit for about a day before making a conclusion that the aroma is too weak; the aroma can change after the linen spray has had time to sit. Mist your sheets lightly. Be especially careful not to allow the mist to fall onto your skin, furniture or into open beverages. Be careful also to only use lightly colored essential oils otherwise your linen spray could stain your bed linens.
