How to Create a Homemade Dusting Spray With Fabric Softener

I’m always up for a DIY , especially when it’s super easy, creative and works better than the real thing— So, let share with you exactly how to create a homemade dusting spray with fabric softener.
Everyone likes a dust-free home, and Heaven knows I enjoy a nice smelling one too. So, it was a no brainer when I decided to blend a few simple ingredients, to give me just that!  Fabric softener is one of the most pleasant smelling ingredients that made this method ideal, making it my favorite go-to!  Here’s what you’ll need to make your own:

Ingredients and Materials

  • 1 cup of water
  • Fabric Softner (any brand)
  • lemon oil or 1/4 cup Lemon Lime
  • Spray bottle
  • Micro Fiber Cloth

Instructions

  1. Combine the fabric softener, water in a spray bottle.
  2. Add 5-8 drops of lemon oil.
  3. Shake the spray bottle to blend well.
  4. Spray the applicable area with dusting spray mixture on a micro cloth
  5. Wipe down the smooth wooden or other surfaces.

Helpful tip!

Be sure to shake well prior to each use, to perfectly mix together the water and oil components.

It’s as easy as that! You can use this dusting spray on most hard surfaces including table tops, desks, sinks, around the shower, and on top of wardrobes and cabinets. For particularly delicate, sensitive or expensive surfaces, always make sure you test the solution on a small area first before wiping down the entire surface to avoid any damage.

Not only will this solution help repel dust from around your home, but it will also create a light, pleasant aroma around the house – all without having to buy expensive cleaning products or harsh chemicals!
