Note:

• Discover the transformative benefits of using amber glass bottles for your essential oil recipes. These bottles provide crucial UV protection, shielding oils from light damage and preserving their therapeutic properties. With extended shelf life, chemical stability, and an eco-friendly edge, amber glass ensures your blends stay potent, pure, and environmentally responsible. Elevate your aromatherapy experience with the simple yet powerful choice of amber glass bottle.
•  Always shake the bottle before use since oil and water can naturally separate.

• Test a small, inconspicuous area before using the spray on delicate surfaces to ensure compatibility.

This DIY dusting spray is a natural alternative to commercial products, and the essential oils add a lovely fragrance while providing additional cleaning benefits. Adjust the essential oil combination to suit your personal preferences.
