FAQ's
Homemade spray will last up to 2 weeks if stored in a cool and dark place. To ensure your spray lasts as long as possible, it is important to keep it covered and out of direct sunlight. Additionally, make sure you shake your bottle gently before each use to ensure the essential oils have evenly distributed in the liquid.
Yes, you can substitute essential oils in this recipe. For example, if you don't like the smell of clove essential oil, you can switch it out for another oil with a similar scent, such as peppermint or eucalyptus to create your favorite scent!
If you don't have witch hazel on hand, you can substitute it for vodka or rubbing alcohol. Both are effective at eliminating odors and will work just as well in this recipe. Just be sure to use a high-proof vodka or rubbing alcohol if you choose to go this route.
