We all wish we had the time and energy to dust all the household surfaces daily.
That would really be great!
But of course, nobody doesn't have the time or the energy to dust at home every day :-)
The solution is to use a suitable spray that removes dust and which also prevents him from coming back.
Admittedly, commercial dust sprays, such as Pliz or O'Cedar, are effective, but they are literally full of toxic substances .
Look at the list of ingredients of a dust repellent found in supermarkets:isoparaffin, dimethicone, phosphonic acid, nitrogen, polysorbate 80, sorbitan oleate, polydimethylsiloxane, aminomethyl propanol, perfume, thickening agent, methylisothiazolinone…
It's scary...
Are these toxic substances really necessary to remove dust from your home? Well I say NO !
These ingredients are scientifically proven to cause several types of ailments, ranging from skin irritation to increased risk of cancer. Surely stuff you want to avoid, right?

What if I told you that you can use dust spray WITHOUT toxic substances , a spray that rivals the effectiveness of anti-dust from major manufacturers?
Ah and yes, I almost forgot:in addition, this homemade spray is cheaper than the anti-dust you buy at the supermarket!
Only €0.38 per bottle , I really found THE effective solution and inexpensive!
Each ingredient in the homemade dust spray is non-toxic and has a specific function.
• a little water (approx. a mustard glass).
• 6 cl of white vinegar (approx. 4 tablespoons):white vinegar is THE multi-purpose cleaner par excellence.
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil :prevents dust from coming back.
• 10-15 drops of lemongrass essential oil :a powerful antibacterial that keeps insects away and also smells great!
You can also replace lemongrass essential oil with lemon essential oil, with lavender essential oil, with peppermint essential oil, with cinnamon essential oil, with essential oil of tea tree or orange essential oil.
The homemade dust spray recipe is super easy! You will see.
1. Pour all the ingredients into an empty spray bottle.
2. Shake well to mix the ingredients. Remember to shake the bottle before each use.
3. Spray the surface to be dusted or on a microfiber cloth.
4. Pass a cloth to remove dust.
There you go, now you know the homemade recipe for the anti-dust spray :-)
Easy to make your dust remover, isn't it? It's an economical dust solution!
With this homemade spray, dusting has become much easier for me. This 100% natural anti-dust works wonders! It's simple to make, inexpensive and WITHOUT any toxic substances!
Of course, it does not exempt you from having to dust your house from time to time. But it will actually help you to dust less often . You will see, this natural dust remover is magic! No need to buy dust spray anymore!
Lemongrass essential oil: I love the sweet scent of lemongrass. But if I chose this essential oil, it's also because it has powerful antibacterial properties and that it naturally repels insects.
Lemongrass is a good alternative to lemon essential oil, the oil I use most often in my natural recipes for homemade household products. You will see, the scent of lemongrass is simply divine !
White vinegar: thanks to the white vinegar, you can also use this anti-dust spray as an all-purpose cleaner, in case of troubleshooting.
Otherwise, you can also try this easy and inexpensive recipe for multi-purpose cleaner.
Olive oil: it is the lemongrass essential oil and the olive oil that give the mixture its beautiful yellow color. But don't worry because once sprayed, this liquid is completely transparent and does not leave stains on your surfaces.
In addition, olive oil is particularly beneficial to wooden surfaces. Indeed, it helps to protect the wood moisture and retain its original color. It also has an antistatic role in this homemade cleaning product.
I know, I'm repeating myself:but don't forget to shake the spray bottle well before each use :-)
This is an important step, as it is the only way to properly mix the oils with the water in the dust control mixture!
Last tip: to get the most dust out of your house, I recommend using homemade Swiffer brooms and wipes. Check out the trick here.
Sandra Shd tested the dust spray recipe and here's what she thinks with her photo:
“So personally I find that it works rather well, olive oil does not leave a greasy film or anything on the surfaces to be dusted, (...) I find that for this time, the dust does not settle after my visit ... It may be psychological, in the meantime it's great I think! »
