Have you ever thought about making a homemade anti-dust spray? We know that dust has always been the number one enemy of cleaning. Specific products are used for this, but at what price? In addition to the economic expense, sometimes excessive compared to the benefits and promises, the risk is usually that of finding very annoying stains on the furniture. Therefore, it is better to resort to effective natural remedies. Let’s find out which ones. Curious? Let’s get started!
Homemade dust spray: where to start?
First, get a clean, empty container equipped with a spray nozzle. To make a natural dust collector on wooden surfaces, get olive oil, vinegar, and a lemon. Transfer to the bottle:
- 5 tablespoons olive oil,
- the juice of 1 lemon,
- 2 tablespoons vinegar.
Shake well for a few minutes to create an emulsion that will be sprayed directly onto a microfiber cloth. Then pass it over the surfaces to be cleaned, removing the excess with another cloth. However, if you want to create a dust-trapping spray for glass, marble, or ceramic surfaces, you’ll need to use liquid soap and water. Pour 200ml of water into a spray container, add 1 tablespoon of soap and a few drops of essential oil. Opt for lavender, patchouli or sandalwood. Shake it for a few minutes and then spray it on a cloth to remove any dust. You will achieve it in an instant and you will also leave a fresh and clean aroma! You can also create a powder solution with water, lemon and sweet orange essential oil, and liquid soap. Put 500 ml of water in a spray bottle, add a tablespoon of liquid soap, 3 drops of lemon essential oil and 3 drops of sweet orange essential oil. You’ll get a citrus-scented cleanser, really nice to use. Alternatively, get:
- 500 ml of water,
- 5 drops of Tea Tree Oil essential oil,
- 1 tablespoon of organic dish soap.
A very useful spray since, in addition to eliminating dust, it has antifungal and bactericidal action. Use it also to clean mirrors and glass, not just furniture. In fact, tea tree oil has clear antifungal properties.
