Peppermint and Nutmeg Room Spray

peppermint room spray is a natural, long lasting, and refreshing way to fill your home with a fresh scent.

I like to use the peppermint and nutmeg room spray in bedrooms, living rooms and hallways. 

Peppermint essential oil is a good oil to have in at home, not only is it great for our room spray but you can also use it for soothing sore muscles, soothing sickness, reducing itchy bug bites and easing headaches.

Essential oils are really wildly available now and you can buy the popular ones at most chemist shops even the little local chemists or order online from places like Amazon or Neal’s Yard.

I often use peppermint and nutmeg oil together in the little tea-light oil burners too - especially in the hallway it just smells so lovely.

How To Use Peppermint And Nutmeg Room Spray

• Shake well to mix the oils into the water.

• Lightly spray around the room.

• Remember this has got a small amount of oil in the mixture so there's always the possibility it may cause small stains if sprayed directly onto fabric, furnishings or furniture - if you're worried about this then don't use it or spay with care. 

• Use the spay within a couple of days and then discard any leftover.
