Christmas is over, the decorations are put away {I turned my kids into a slave labor force yesterday and got everything back in the attic}, and it’s time to get organized. Are you in the same cleaning and organization mode I’m in? The new year always urges me to get a fresh start in my home and a fresh start means fresh smells. I have a super simple DIY citrus fresh kitchen spray to share with you {and a fun giveaway to get the year smelling right}!
This citrus fresh kitchen spray is a great way to add a fresh scent to the air and get rid of stale cooking odors {no one likes lingering fish and onion smells, right?}. To make it, you’ll need distilled water, epsom salts, citrus fresh essential oil, and, if desired, purification essential oil {not pictured}. You’ll also need glass spray bottles. These cobalt glass bottles {affiliate link} are not only pretty but the dark color prevents oils from breaking down.
Add a pinch of epsom salts to the bottom of the bottle. Add five drops of citrus fresh essential oil and five drops of purification essential oil {the salt will absorb the oil and allow it to mix better with the water}. Fill the bottle with distilled water, replace the lid, and give it a little shake to mix.
Finish by applying a cute label {you can download these citrus fresh kitchen spray printable labels and print them on sticker paper or print them on regular paper and glue them to the bottle}.
Super easy and you have a light, citrus-y spray perfect for freshening up the aroma in the kitchen {or any room, really}.

Would this work with any essential oil? I was thinking a tea rose would be soothing.
Definitely … you could use any scent you wanted!
I have lavender essential oil and I love it. I’ve been experimenting with making body butter and I’d love to try the citrus – oh wow!
Yes, I have used essential oils before. Among a few have been eucalyptus, tea tree oil, lemon oil, lavender…
I have used essential oils before, but I’m still a beginner when it comes to knowing what to use each for! Learning fast though!! (:
I have been using them for years, glad they’re catching on to the General public!
I love to use essential oils but haven’t tried making a spray before – can’t wait to try this!
I haven’t used Young Living’s essential oils before, but I do use essential oils (Aura Cacia, Mountain Rose Herbs, and Erbavera) quite regularly. Citrus is one of my favorites! 🙂
I love essential oils! So great for natural cleaning.
I have used lavender essential oil for relaxation and anxiety
This is so great! I started to clean things naturally in my home and the hard part is scenting the home b/c is there really a natural way to do that? I am going to try this out. I would love for you to share this on my blog for Crafty Chaos Tuesdays! Thanks for sharing.
I have not used essential oils before. My kids were recently sick and my cousin that uses oils made them a chest and sleep rub. It worked great! Now I am on a mission to learn more and more!!
yes, I have
Yes I have and I love them.
I’ve never used essential oils before. I’m new to the whole world of essential oils and learning more everyday!
I have dabbled with essential oils but would like to learn more
I have used some essential oils. I use peppermint oil for nausea, and I add lemon and lavender oils to cleaning products. I’d like to use more, especially the ones with health benefits.
Oh my! Awesome giveaway. Pinned and tweeted. Thank you so much for being a part of our party. We really appreciate you! I hope to see you on tonight at 7 pm. Happy Monday! Lou Lou Girls
