Freshen your sheets with a heavenly and easy DIY linen spray that lengthens the time between washings. This refresher also does wonders for cleaning and reviving mattresses. Scented with your favorite essential oil, this homemade concoction is just the right thing for spritzing on clothes, sheets, pillows, and feather beds. And it costs just about nothing to make.

What You'll Need:

  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 10 to 15 drops essential oil
  • Water
  • Funnel
  • Small spray bottle

Directions:

  1. Gather the ingredients needed for making the linen spray. You can use any kind of vodka for this concoction, even flavored. Vodka evaporates fast and whisks away unwanted scents while it dries.
