The Homemade Linen Spray That Will Have Your Laundry Smelling Incredible
Sometimes life feels like a repetitive circle of chores, especially when it comes to laundry. All the washing, drying, folding, and putting things away is time-consuming. This task is made worse when the items we put away don't get worn for a while and wind up smelling musty. Or, when your clothes still smell after washing them (hello high school football uniform). Fortunately, there's a way to refresh your fabrics without overspending or adding more chemicals to the mix.
Homemade linen spray is an all-natural solution to keep your fabrics smelling incredible, and it's just one more way to use vinegar to keep your house clean. The spray involves a mix of water, white vinegar, and an assortment of floral ingredients. The result is an affordable, nature-infused product you can keep in the laundry room or the linen closet. Use it to freshen up sheets for the guest bedroom, reduce that post-game smell from your teenager's sports jersey, or add a little floral ambiance to your date night outfit. Check out how to mix up a batch of this miracle spray for your next load of washing.
Mixing your homemade laundry spray
Use the spray on clothes, or give your bedding a much needed refresh with an all-natural solution. All you need to make your own laundry spray is an empty spritzer like the Meideli refillable spray bottles, distilled water, white vinegar for antibacterial and antifungal purposes, and your choice of sweet-smelling flowers and herbs. Instagram user alisonistoxinfree chose to add calendula, rose petals, and lavender to her mix. Some other options include mint, lemongrass, eucalyptus, basil, and sage. Once you've gathered your ingredients, you can begin to mix your magic laundry potion.
Measure out ½ cup each of vinegar and water and add them to a bowl. Stir in ¼ cup of each of the flower petals or herbs you've chosen. Mix well, and pour into your spray bottle. Give it a good shake, and let it sit overnight. Spray lightly on fabric, and let it dry for an all-natural laundry refresh. Make up a few batches of this product with different scents for different moods, seasons, or family members. It's a fun and safe way to make your linens smell fantastic.
