🍂 Forest Room Spray FAQ

🛏️ Is it safe to spray on pillows?

Yes! Just make sure you’re using skin-safe essential oils and a diluted mix (as in the recipe above). Always spot-test first to ensure no staining or irritation.

🍃 Can I make forest spray without alcohol?

Definitely. Use witch hazel or a teaspoon of solubilizer to help disperse the oils. Without alcohol, remember to shake well before each spray since oils will separate faster.

🌲 How long does the scent last?

Natural sprays don’t linger as long as synthetic ones. Expect the scent to last 20–30 minutes in the air. Spritz soft surfaces like curtains or fabric decor to help it stay longer.

🐾 Is it pet safe?

Some oils like tea tree and eucalyptus can be harmful to pets. Use caution around cats and dogs, and avoid spraying directly onto bedding or near food/water bowls. Always ventilate the space well.
