4. Carefully pour the mixture into a 4 oz. glass spray bottle You can find glass spray bottles near the essential oils in most natural grocery stores or online. Glass bottles are recommend for essential oil mixtures because the oils can cause plastic to breakdown. Amber or cobalt glass bottles will help protect your oils from sunlight and will extend the shelf life of your room spray. 5. Label the bottle Use a sticker or string and a tag to create a label for your room spray. I used mailing labels to label the cobalt bottles and some old cardboard from a box of tea and twine for the clear bottle. Include the ingredients on your label, and feel free to create special names for your unique recipes. *Shake mixture before each use
