Enjoy fresh-smelling linens with 3 natural DIY linen sprays! These simple linen fresheners are ready in under 5 minutes and require only 2 ingredients. You’ll love how your home smells after a spritz of homemade essential oil linen spray!
When we first started switching to nontoxic home products, one of the things we missed the most was air and linen fresheners. We knew we needed to learn how to make our own ASAP!
We quickly made recipes for homemade room spray, rosemary mint candles, and linen spray.
Natural, homemade linen spray has become a staple in our home! When we want our space to smell nice, a quick spritz of linen spray on the furniture or throw blankets does the trick.
What we love most about a DIY linen spray is how it makes me and our family feel – namely, because of the aromatherapeutic essential oils.
These linen sprays are used at least a few times a week in our living space to leave a delicious fragrance and help calm down the chaos – no joke!
If you want an easy-to-make linen spray that uses only natural ingredients, keep reading for a simple recipe with 3 great scent options!
Why You’ll Love It
- Freshen your space: A quick spritz of linen spray can do wonders for your home. It leaves fabrics smelling lovely, but it also gives the entire space a pleasant scent!
- Natural ingredients: Commercial fragrance sprays can have a lot of potentially harmful ingredients, such as VOCs and formaldehyde. Homemade linen spray uses just two natural ingredients and scents your linens with soothing, natural essential oils!
- Aromatherapy: Essential oils aren’t just a natural fragrance option, they can also have a positive impact on your mood! The aroma of essential oils can provide therapeutic benefits to humans and pets. We love misting linen spray in our living area when our family needs relaxation, uplifting, or energy.
What Goes Into This Recipe
- Essential oils: Choose from one of the delightful blends below, or get creative and make your own!
- Witch hazel: Witch hazel is a natural ingredient made from the bark, twigs, and leaves of a witch hazel plant. It helps the essential oils emulsify so each spritz of linen spray is scented.
- Spray bottle: Dark-colored glass bottles are best for the longevity of the essential oils.

Expert Tips
- It’s always a good idea to do a patch test before using linen spray on a new material. Spray a bit in an inconspicuous area such as the back of the couch or in between cushions before using the linen spray everywhere.
- Do not spray too much linen spray on a surface. You want to lightly mist, not saturate the fabric.
- We like to use the lavender and chamomile linen spray on our duvets before bed for a calming and relaxing aroma.
- Keep your linen sprays organized with these printable labels!
