DIY Linen/Room Spray
DIY Linen/Room Spray In our house we try and hang dry our clothes as much as possible. Better for your clothes and the environment! BUT.. I sometimes miss that fresh dryer smell! Here is a recipe for the linen spray I use on our clothes while they are drying! SO easy! Say NO to those nasty chemical filled sprays from the grocery store!
I also use this spray for various things around the house. On our couch, carpets, clothes in the closet.. anything fabric! Cheaper & better then those air fresher sprays.
The Natural Resources Defense Council studied the effects of air fresheners, discovering that they currently undergo no safety testing. The results were disturbing, because they revealed high levels of phthalates, which are known to be especially harmful to children. These chemicals were even present in sprays which were claimed to be "All-Natural" and "unscented". Phthalates were not disclosed in the list of ingredients for any of the products.
"Phthalates are hormone-disrupting chemicals that can be particularly dangerous for young children and unborn babies. Exposure to phthalates can affect testosterone levels and lead to reproductive abnormalities, including abnormal genitalia and reduced sperm production. The State of California notes that five types of phthalates -- including one that we found in air freshener products -- are 'known to cause birth defects or reproductive harm.'"
