I don’t mind dusting when there’s a light layer of loose dust involved, but as we all know, it’s rarely that simple. Dust has a way of mixing with anything greasy or moist in the vicinity and then clinging to surfaces in way that a dry cloth alone couldn’t hope to clean up.
In these situations, my trusty microfiber cloth needs some backup, and that’s where my favorite DIY dusting spray comes in. Featuring vinegar and citrus oil to cut through grease and a bit of olive oil for shine, this simple spray to make even the grimiest surfaces look clean as a whistle. (The way the fresh citrus smell lingers after I use it doesn’t hurt either!)
How To Make A DIY Dusting Spray
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 10-15 drops of lemon essential oil (or sweet orange essential oil)
- Spray bottle
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in your spray bottle, replace the top, and shake well to mix. Because the oil and water will separate over time, be sure to shake the bottle again before each use to remix the ingredients.
To use it, spray directly onto furniture and buff with a clean, dry cloth.
Get The Spray Bottle Label And Never Forget The Recipe
You’ll never forget how to make this dusting spray once you have these cleaning recipe labels for spray bottles! This set of seven adhesive labels are pre-printed with recipes for my favorite homemade cleaning products, including not only this dusting spray, but also my favorite all-purpose cleaning spray, my go-to window and mirror cleaner, and more. The labels are clear with white lettering so they pair perfectly with my favorite amber glass spray bottles.
Are you one of the many people who dreads dusting your home?
