- Spray bottle
- Microfiber cloth
1. Pour the water into the spray bottle.
2. Add the white vinegar.
3. Add the coconut oil.
4. Add the essential oils.
5. Shake well before each use.
6. Spray onto the microfiber cloth.

Your magic dust spray is ready! It’s quick, easy, and highly effective—surfaces stay dust-free longer with no greasy residue.
Use it on all wooden furniture like wardrobes, desks, tables, chests of drawers, and even skirting boards.
No distilled water? Boiled tap water works fine. If vinegar’s scent lingers, infuse it with citrus peels or lavender first.
White vinegar acts as a natural disinfectant, deodorizing and effortlessly cutting through grime and sticky residues.
Fractionated coconut oil attracts and traps dust while nourishing wood and forming a protective barrier. It adds shine without odor or stickiness.
Essential oils provide a pleasant scent plus cleansing, antibacterial, and antiviral properties—far safer than synthetic fragrances in store-bought cleaners.
