How to Freshen Fabric Sofas and Chairs

Use this mixture as a natural way to freshen up your fabric sofas and chairs, or as a general air freshener in your home or car.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Empty Spray bottle
• Water
• Eucalyptus Essential Oil
• Bergamot Essential Oil

1. Remove the cap of the spray bottle, and fill the spray bottle 3/4 full with water. Add 2 drops each of Eucalyptus essential oil and Bergamot essential oil. Close the lid and shake well to ensure that it is evenly mixed.

2. Give the bottle a good shake before each use. Turn the nozzel to the mist spray. Keeping the nozzel about a foot away or more from your sofa or chair, spray with a fine mist. To avoid a water mark, start your spray farther away from the sofa, and work your way closer.

3. To use as a room spray, give the bottle a good shake, and spray a mist throughout your room. Perfect for large rooms like your living room or small rooms like a bathroom. Smaller rooms will require less sprays to achieve the same effect.

Tips & Warnings

• Shake the bottle before each use.
• If the mixture is not strong enough, add one drop of each oil, then shake and test. Do this until it is where you like it.
• If it is too strong, shake the bottle, pour out a few tablespoons worth and replace with clean water.
