DIY Air Freshener

BY Ing. Žaneta Milošová (Havírová)

Why make it yourself?

This simple, fragrant spray will freshen up your toilet, bathroom, closet, or any small space. You can customize the scent to your liking, from fresh citrus to clean herbal notes. It’s perfect for when you want to quickly freshen the air without a heavy fragrance.

🧪 Ingredients for 50 ml

Basic version

• 30 ml of cosmetic alcohol / perfume alcohol
• 18 ml of distilled water (or boiled water*)
• 1 to 1.5 ml essential oils, approx. 20 to 30 drops 

GG tip: *If you don’t have distilled water, use boiled and cooled water, but the shelf life may be shorter. 💧

✨ How to make it?

  • Prepare a clean 50-ml spray bottle.
  • Pour the alcohol into the bottle, add the essential oils, and shake gently. Then top it off with water. Shake again. 
  • Done. Shake the bottle before each use, as the essential oils may separate over time.

🔧 Usage

Spray 1 to 3 sprays into the air. Do not spray directly onto the face, skin, animals, fabrics, varnished wood, or plastic surfaces.

📦 Storage and Safety

Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not spray near fire, candles, or hot surfaces, as it contains alcohol and is flammable! 🔥 🧨

Store away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Shelf life: approx. 6 months.

GG tip: A fresh scent works better in the bathroom than one that’s too sweet. Lemon, mint, tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender, or rosemary work great.
