Why Choose a Homemade Dusting Spray?

Store-bought dust removers often contain harmful waxes, synthetic fragrances, and chemicals that pollute your home and the environment—not to mention their high cost. I've ditched them entirely in my household.

These products leave a slippery residue that's risky for kids and seniors. Best of all, my natural spray works wonders on wood furniture, leaving no streaks and safe for every room, including bedrooms. My furniture stays shiny and pristine.

Ingredients

  • 80 ml water
  • 1/2 tablespoon Marseille soap

  • Amber glass spray bottle with fine mist nozzle
  • Funnel

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1. Use the funnel to pour the water into the spray bottle.
  2. 2. Add the Marseille soap.
  3. 3. Add the essential oils.
  4. 4. Cap the bottle and shake well to combine.
