A homemade linen spray that will instantly freshen up any home and one you can feel confident in spraying anywhere around your loved ones.
One of the problems I find with products you spray around your home is that they are increasingly bad for your health. They are filled with chemicals, come in big plastic containers, they're expensive, and they only mask smells.
This linen spray (though honestly I spray everywhere) uses witch hazel which is plant-derived. Against popular belief, witch hazel is not a disinfectant. You may find it in many anti-bacterial products but this is usually because it is for your skin which reduces inflammation and can help heal minor cuts and bug bites. Why is this in my linen spray? Essential oil needs a carrier and witch hazel will not leave little marks and it safe around humans and animals alike. You can stick with just water, however I have found that the solution holds its smell better with witch hazel but you may opt to forgo it.
