Makes about ½ cup
- 2 ounces isopropyl alcohol
- ½ teaspoon essential oil of sandalwood
- 1 teaspoon essential oil of tangerine
- ½ teaspoon essential oil of Peru balsam
- 1/8 teaspoon essential oil of spruce
- 1/8 teaspoon essential oil of lavender, if desired
- 2 ounces filtered or distilled water
- Pour the isopropyl alcohol into a spray bottle, and add the oils, using as much lavender oil as suits you. Add the water and shake to mix.
- Before using, first test the spray on a small section of a drawer before using–alcohol can dissolve a shellac finish. If the finish is unharmed, spray the empty drawer and allow it to dry before replacing the clothes.
