DIY Home Deodorizer Spray
I went a little crazy a few months back buying essential oils. Now I’m trying to come with different ways to use them in my home. One easy way is making your own DIY Home Deodorizer Spray. With three cats, two kids and a husband, my home often needs a boost of freshness. This spray is super fast to whip up and it takes on the scent of whatever essential oil you use in it.

Besides essential oil, you probably already have the other ingredients as they are items used often in the kitchen. Grab some baking soda from your pantry, lemon juice from your fridge, hot water from your faucet and your favourite essential oil. I used orange essential oil in mine because I love its invigorating scent!
Add the baking soda to the hot water and stir till its dissolved. Then, add your lemon juice and essential oil and stir. I poured the mixture into my spray bottle with a funnel to limit the mess. Give it a shake and spray away! (Note – I bought my spray bottles on Amazon.ca, but they are also available on Amazon.com for my USA friends.)
The oil will separate from the water so always shake it to combine before you spray. This particular bottle is downstairs in John’s domain. The poor guy is uber smell sensitive so I think this will help freshen things up.
I made a pinnable collage with the recipe for you to pin for easy access.

had no idea it was that simple I have lemon essential oil will have to make this today!
I have heard of this before, but, didn’t realize it was so easy! I will be on the lookout for essential oils now! Thanks!
I love this type of spray! It smells great because you can pick the scent and it is SO cost effective. I never considered putting baking soda in it! Have you been able to use it without getting a sort of dried film when you spray it? I would love to know! Every te I have used baking soda I get a weird residue that I need to scrub off.
Great idea! I have several bottles of essential oils as well that I am unsure what to do with – this will be a nice way to get some use out of them!
I have lemon essential oil that I will use. Thank you!
Going to have to try this one out,thanks so much!
I think this is great! Going to make this but first I have to find the essential oil. No too sure where it’s sold here but have read so much about essential oils in so many ways to use. I also have a cat and this would be good for around where his litter box is along with the rest of the house.
I love making my own sprays… I haven’t used baking soda in them, but have intended to try it.
Love essential oils and I love room deodorizer spray! Never thought about making my own, but it seems simple enough, plus there isn’t any harmful chemicals, and I love that.
I can’t wait to try this recipe! The house has been all shut up because the A/C is on so I want to give this fresh scent a try. Thanks for sharing and I will be featuring your recipe of this week’s Friday’s Fabulous Five #44. Go check it out on Friday and while you are there share it on this week’s Blog Hop I am sure our readers would love it.
