Tips & Warnings
You don’t want your bottle to be completely full, so that you have plenty of room to shake the mixture each time you use it.
The recipe here is for an 8 oz. spray bottle; adjust the measurements according the the size you are using.
Use lightly colored essential oils, so you don’t run the risk of dying the fabric you spray.
