[@edhotchkin5938]

Thanks! I got my own idea to add water into a bottle of spray scent to make it last longer, so today I was inspired to look up a DIY to make up my own spray, and there you are .with exactly what I was looking for. I like these kind of sprays so I don't contribute to our ozone issues, and I don't have to go broke doing it.🍀🍁🌹

[@FrostyDeagz]

Most sprays these days don't effect our ozone, in the US I haven't seen one that does in years

So even with all that water you don't need preservative? Can't mold grow? Then it's sprayed and people can breathe in it in? Thank you

[@sarahr7279]

Can't wait to give this a try, thank you! If I make a bigger batch will the scent last in the bottle? Edited to say: I tried the spring breeze. I love that it's light and clean.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes it will last, just give it a shake before use.

[@djmindy]

Jw if you've experienced the baking soda when sprayed leaves any white residue droplets behind???

[@irielgordon2693]

Great video! I have a question since this would be considered a aqueous formulation do you need to add an antioxidant to it due to the essential oils or maybe an preservative because of the water? Thanks

[@ouroilyhouse]

I haven't added anything else in and it has always been fine for me.

[@irielgordon2693]

Okay thanks for replying😊

[@alaaaboubakrhashem5207]

Thanks so much for a great video, i love all your diys and i follow your website and facebook group. How would the amounts differ if im using a big spray bottle? Like 300ml one How many spoons of baking soda and how many drops of essential oil

[@ouroilyhouse]

You can double or triple the recipe as needed! I am so glad you are enjoying my DIY's!

Can we also spray out face with that?

[@chinazanwoye7330]

Tnks a lot dear.... But I have question... Pls what's the second and third name of the fragrance u used? Did u use distilled water for it? Can I spray in all rooms? Can I clean with it?

For how long can I store this ?

[@latishabender594]

Great video, I really enjoyed it. I was wondering if it needed to be essential oil or could I use fragrance oil? Also I was wondering did it need to be distilled water or any water is fine? please advise. Thank you so much.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much! I prefer essential oils because fragrance oils have added ingredients that can be harmful. Distilled water is best as it will have a longer shelf life. :)

[@heikegclarke]

Hello, thank you. I tried this recipe and it blocked the tube. Is this normal?

[@rainpennylane_5979]

I use is fragrance oil

[@Repla12481]

If im making a 20 oz bottle, I assume I would add more oil, but do I need to add more baking soda so its not so diluted? Thank you

[@marikalemay1218]

Hi Laura. Do we have to use amber bottles or clear glass work fine too? Thank you!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Either is fine! I like to use amber because if clear glass is left in direct sunlight it can make the essential oils lose potency.

[@hornedboi2012]

clear is fine. but hide it inside the cupboard to avoid sunglight

[@roseline7829]

i want to ask.. how long can we keep it in the bottle? will the scent last long after we mix it with the water? thanks!

[@ouroilyhouse]

It last up to one month. The scent stays strong, even after mixing it.

[@TheRealCaliStar]

​@@ouroilyhouseYou said 6 months on another comment. Which response is true?

[@karlettduboise]

Good morning! Would this smell the same if I poured this mixture into my diffuser instead of using a spray bottle? If so, should I leave out the baking soda for the diffuser? Thank you so much in advance.

[@beverlysantillano]

Yes leave out the baking soda

[@karlettduboise]

@@beverlysantillano Thank you so much.

[@mygt8a4re]

Will the oils separate in the water? I realize the baking soda kind of helps this but it separates each time it sits correct? Would isopropyl alcohol make this solution better? I'm curious as I've never tried this yet and like to hear the pros and cons of the additives used. Thanks, great video!

[@ouroilyhouse]

The baking soda helps, I also shake it before each use.

[@dwaynemorris6190]

Could you also add a polysorbate 20 or 80 so it mixes better or does the baking soda prevent that?

[@JELOKARET]

how long can you keep this spray? does it have an expiration? i read in some comments that you said we can just mix the oil with water? is that right? what is the importance of the baking soda?

[@ouroilyhouse]

It is good for 6 months. The baking soda helps to keep the oils incorporated. You can leave it out and give it a good shake before each use.

[@TheRealCaliStar]

​@@ouroilyhouseIn another comment, you told the person one month. Now you're saying 6 months. Which one is it really?

[@JiefuTv]

What name ingredients plsss?

[@MadamPalaban]

Start at 1:40

[@garysumlin8355]

Well I hope it works good I'm gonna try it nothing else has worked

[@gd5158]

It won't really work. You'll need to add an emulsifier (Polysorbate 80) and alcohol (Preferably Perfumer's Grade alcohol). You can easily find those online, and it'll change this spray from an inefficient spray (always have to shake it and still won't mix properly, and doesn't smell except if you bury your face in whatever you spray on), to an actual scent spray.

[@shaboom40]

Can we make with single once?

[@ouroilyhouse]

With single oils? If so, yes!

[@knit2sip24]

Does the baking soda emulsify the oil? I don’t want to creates tiny oil stains on my linens.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes, but you can do without!

[@nicolerichter8047]

Hi Dear, why add baking soda and also does it not clog up the spray itself? 🙏🏻🌺

[@rainaragin7924]

I just tried with the baking soda and it clogged mine, however it could of been because of the type of nozzle or amount of baking. either way for now i'm deciding to leave out baking soda

[@makiskunk]

clogged mine :/

[@shirleyabbottpoetry6181]

Strange question, but are they supposed to change colour? I made my own and after a few days it turned purple after a few days?

[@spicybrown75]

Did you use amber glass bottle?

[@Yaotl-1]

I'm wanting to make an insect repellent to spray around doors with essential oils. I want it to last a few days at least so I'm assuming a carrier oil is necessary as opposed to water. Question is, what type of carrier oil would you recommend that will hold the scent, I was thinking maybe mineral oil?

[@ouroilyhouse]

I use fractionated coconut oil.

[@Yaotl-1]

@@ouroilyhouse I'll try it out, thanks!

[@mario-ol2gf]

do you need baking soda, or can you substitute it with something else?

To help the oils and water mix. You can omit it and shake well before each use.

[@zoeclearwater]

Why not use citric acid instead of baking soda ? Acts as a preservative too

[@toiletpaparaxxi5699]

Does the bottle have to be glass? Or can it be plastic

[@ouroilyhouse]

Glass is always best when using essential oils!

Essential oils eat through plastic so glass is best

[@duMaurier15]

wait.. why are people using alcohol or witch hazel or isy when this method is so much easier and cheaper? Which method is the best way?

[@gd5158]

This method here, as simple as it is, just doesn't really work the way you think it would, for two main reasons. One - Water and oil DONT MIX. Even if you vigorously mix it every 5 seconds (already a red flag for inefficiency). Two - Essential oils scent doesn't go very far. When you spray this, you'll only smell it for 5 seconds as you spray it, and that's it. You'd have to bury your face in whatever surface you're spraying it on to smell it. It really does suck that this method here is probably the most popular one on KZbin, a huge misinformation. People make it, and then wonder why it doens't work, then just go on to buy commercial sprays which actually work. That's what happened to me until I researched more thoroughly. Two ingredients are missing in this that seperate this spray from something that works to something that doesn't work. Alcohol - spreads in the room when you spray and carries the scent with it (Best to use Perfumer's Alcohol, as it's not as toxic and smelly as rubbing alcohol, and makes for a clear liquid) Polysorbate 80 - Emulsifies the oils and the water (water in the alcohol or the water you add). You add those, and you'll have a proper spray scent. Still very much DIY. At the end of the day, you can just drop a few essential oil drops in hidden areas in your house and that's fine. The question is not how to make a scent spray, it's how to make an actual useful one.

[@_MehulMunshi]

Otherwise the oil will separate from the water and the scent wouldn't be even

[@touchmyroses6308]

I made this and it did not work unfortunately :( The scent dissipated immediately and just made everything wet. I even tried spraying my pillow, and the scent only lingered for a few seconds.

[@user-gh8sl7iu3y]

Doesn’t the baking soda eventually clog the sprayer?

i was just about to type that! I wonder about that too, because it ALWAYS happens when I add baking soda. I usually just add witch hazel instead.

Witch hazel is a good idea too!

I have had some spray for awhile now and it has not messed up my sprayer but you can definitely make it without the baking soda just be sure to shake well before use.
