The bathroom may not be the room you spend the most time in, but it’s certainly one that is a priority for keeping nice and fresh. With just a couple of spray bottles, you can make a blend of essential oils for a clean and nice smelling bathroom. And the loo spray? As much as it might seem an odd thing to share, it’s a very popular item for the whole family. And it really works.

Air Freshening Spray

This is about as simple as it gets. In a 4 ounce glass spray bottle, combine water and 20 drops of your favorite oil or blend. I usually recommend citrus oils for their fresh cleansing qualities – lemon is always a winner. I’m not a huge orange fan, but wild orange is excellent for this purpose too. doTERRA makes a blend called Purify that a lot of people like, but to keep is simple, the single oils can be equally used with good results.
