DIY Linen Spray To Keep Your Home Fresh Without Constant Laundry
Make a perfectly fresh DIY lemon spray with just 3 natural ingredients to lift odors and refresh your soft surroundings.
I recently finished my annual spring cleaning checklist over spring break and our home feels renewed. Defuzzing the ceiling fans, rearranging the furniture, and scrubbing the trim, among other things, made such a difference!
But, if you have kids or pets, you know how quickly your home’s soft surfaces—throw pillows, rugs, and especially couch blankets—start to feel less than fresh.
Who has time to wash them constantly?
Instead of battling lingering odors by settling for chemical-laden sprays, there’s a simple, natural way to keep everything smelling clean between washes.
When you make this simple DIY linen spray you can keep your home fresh and clean without constant laundry.
I’ll show you why you’ll never want to be without this fresh-scented cleaning hack!

Lemon and vanilla complement each other so well! I bet this smells lovely. This is a wonderful idea, and such gorgeous pictures too — but that’s no different from usual! 😉
Awe thank you Kyla, it does have a beautiful scent. I love to spray our sheets with it and throw pillows on the couch too!
I have made this and use it all the time now, it’s lovely. Thank you Kristy!!
Thanks Debbie, it’s my favorite linen spray right now too! I’ll likely switch back lavender come autumn, but until then it’s lemon everything in our household 😉
This is great to know, thanks
