🌬️ How to Use:

• Spray into the air, onto fabric, shoes, trash cans, or anywhere odors linger.

• Avoid using directly on silk, leather, or delicate surfaces without testing first.

• Essential oils not only smell good but can also have antibacterial properties.

• Store in a cool, dark place and shake before each use since ingredients may settle.
