Air freshener


LAVENDER AIR FRESHENER:
A lovely air freshener which I use in all my rooms (but mainly the loo!).  Both Lemongrass and lavender are fab insect repellents.  And both have the added advantage of being a natural anti-septic and anti-viral.  Lemongrass also acts as a bactericide.  So there you have it - a fab smelling anti-septic air freshener.  Play with different essential oils for a variety of fragrances.



Ingredients:
5ml Vodka
15 drops Lavender essential oil
10 drops Lemongrass essential oil
500ml water
Method:
- Put the oils & vodka in a 500ml spray bottle and shake well.  
- Add the water and spray.

Tips:
- Try out other essential oils.  Another favorite of mine is Neroli or Rose Air Freshener
