[@nancylaverge2519]

I made this Yesterday to refill my VIPoo spray bottle (which is £5 for a tiny 55ml bottle in the shops), and it works brilliant, I used Vodka and Lavender and lemongrass essential oils, and water I boiled for 5 minutes, Thank you for your quick and fun video! I am converted !!

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

Thanks for the feedback!! I’m so glad it worked for you. Lavender and lemongrass sounds wonderful!

Hey dear it's amazing! Thank you! Can we change witch hazel with another oil?

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

Hey, thanks! You could also use rubbing alcohol or plain vodka in place of the witch hazel!

[@zoidumsmcconnell3041]

Heyya thanks alot. I bought some recently and found it much better than spray cans. Then I was thinking, how can I make my own? :) I shall reuse my old plastic bottle when it's finished. :)

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

Perfect!

Thank you for putting this info out there. Just watched the movie Dark Waters about how DuPont poisoned the world with C8

[@leahmonterroso2472]

I like any combos with eucalyptus in my bathroom for the spa feel and it goes well with lavender and any citrus like bergamot. My favorite PooPourri scent is the Fresh Sea Salt which is Sea Salt, Bergamot and Eucaplytus. I’ve made a diy replacing the Sea Salt with lavender and I loved it, but I’d like to use the Sea Salt in it too. There’s no such thing as a natural sea salt EO right, so does anyone know how you would get that scent to use in EO combos?

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

I don’t know of a sea salt scent, but your combo of Bergamot, Eucalyptus, and Lavender sounds wonderful and fresh! I think I will mix some up myself when I refill my spray bottle. Thanks!

[@ivyholmes4195]

OMG love this! Thank you

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

You’re welcome! Thanks for checking it out 😊

[@carolandrews4981]

Thank you

[@jillam7039]

Safe to use if you have cats? I know there’s no direct contact- just concerned about essential oils in the air

[@monyscell8352]

I love lavender and I just recently got some lemon oil. I've always mixed lavender with tea tree or rosemary but I'm going to give this a try. You may want to try eucalyptus oil for something different. There's a product on the market where you drop a few drops into the bowl beforehand and it just uses eucalyptus oil. Actually I thought it had to be eucalyptus for its antibacterial properties. I'll probably try both to compare. Thanks so much for sharing this. Just one question - was that a 2oz or 4oz bottle you used please? thx :)

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

Oh yeah! Eucalyptus sounds like a great idea, thanks! This is a 4 oz bottle in the video.

[@monyscell8352]

thanks. I wish I knew where to find normal sprayer caps with the 18mm threads used on with oil bottles so I could reuse my big 3oz/100ml essential oil bottles for something like this or a nice pillow spray without having to break out a new 2 oz bottle. Thx again. :)

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

Oh that would be perfect! I have seen some spray tops for essential oil bottles on Amazon with good reviews , but I am unsure if they will fit your particular bottle. 🤔

[@Zede-df5iu]

Thanks for your video can when it made mine the oil sits at top I'm using cheap vodka's not alcohol what should I do to stop his from happing thank you.

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

I usually just give my bottle a little shake before I spray to mix it back up. But you could add a Tablespoon of vegetable glycerin if you want. That will help keep it more emulsified.

[@Zede-df5iu]

@@TheCrunchyGinger Thanks I will try

[@alexshane5713]

Is the alcohol just the normal one you buy at pharmacy? (If it's not I'll probably try vodka) And the esencial oils are the ones that is safe for body use? Because I"ve seen cheaper versions for oil burners. Thank you!

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

Yes! Just rubbing alcohol from the pharmacy. But vodka will also work. I would always recommend higher quality essential oils, even though this isn’t really for spraying on the skin. Then you know there’s nothing creepy in there and they’re more versatile for all your diy products and diffusing, etc!

[@feewonglee6241]

Hey …. -How important is using the alcohol…?? -Can glycerin be used instead of alcohol…?? -Can both alcohol and glycerin be used …??

[@yamunaa4862]

please let me know long lasting dit room spray for potpuri which will be there throughout the day..

[@theintake8961]

Awesome thank you so much! 😎👍

[@Austin030708]

Ok......little confused 😕 do u use all vegetable glycerin or 2 T witch hazel with 1 T vegetable glycerin?

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

In a 4 ounce bottle, I use 2-3 Tablespoons of witch Hazel or alcohol and about 1/3 cup of distilled water. (Plus 30-40 drops of essential oil). Vegetable glycerin can be added to help bind the water and oil so you don’t have to shake it up so much. I find that the spray works just fine for me without it, so I usually omit it.

[@dewleaves]

For those of us who are new to this... Why use distilled water instead of tap water?

[@MsAussie83]

​ @TheCrunchyGinger I'm one of those girls who looooooooooooooooooooooooooooves to make stuff at home! My American mom says most air fresheners like Airwick plugins give her a headache. Strange they don't seem to do that to me! I'd love to try making this spray one day, as my provider has health issues, and if she ever has to make a poo in my bathroom, I wanna make sure it smells clean, as the smell of a poo is usually pretty rotten! I don't have distilled water, but I do have filtered water, made with regular tap water in a Brita pitcher. Would that work? I also have rubbing alcohol on hand as well. One of my favorite scents is ... wait for it ... baby powder!

[@pnewt1]

What size spray bottle are you using?

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

This one is 4 ounces

[@michaelalarcon6263]

The poo pouring did not come with sprayers?

[@iNinjeek]

How long is it good for until it gets bad?

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

I like to use mine within a month or two. But in general, the higher the alcohol content you use, the longer it should last.

[@lynnbradley7387]

Do you really need the alcohol or which hazel can you just do oil and water?

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

The alcohol/witch hazel helps the essential oils and water combine since oil and water don’t mix!

[@cynthiafacio7070]

Oil and water don’t mix. You need alcohol to break up oil.

[@gibsonomwa1690]

Hey, Great Video. After formulating the spray, how long will it last ?

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

Thanks! I hesitate to give an exact shelf life since it will depend on what exactly you use to make it. The higher the percentage of alcohol, the longer it will last. So using say a 90% alcohol will give you a longer shelf life than witch hazel, for example. But in general, I like to make a small bottle and use mine within a month or so.

@@TheCrunchyGinger Thank You, one last question, i did my research on Poo pourri, is it really true their only ingredients is water and just essential oils ? which fabric is their container

[@TheCrunchyGinger]

I can’t speak to exactly what is in the product since I can only see the same info you can see. On their website, Poo Pourri says their product is alcohol free but contains “PROPRIETARY BLEND OF ESSENTIAL OILS AND SURFACTANT.” In this recipe, the alcohol is acting as a “surfactant” to help the essential oils and water mix together better. So, they are using some other undisclosed ingredient to get the oils and water to mix. I think it comes in a plastic bottle. I hope that helps!
