FAQ
1. How long does the spray last once applied?

Most scents linger for 3–4 hours, so a quick refresh before bedtime works perfectly.

2. Can I spray it on my skin?

You can, but dilute it further by adding an extra ½ cup of distilled water. Always patch-test first.

3. Will this mixture stain fabrics?

Essential oils normally don’t stain when diluted, but always test on a small hidden area first.

4. Do essential oils really repel mosquitoes?

Yes! Oils like citronella, eucalyptus, and lavender are well-known natural repellents used in many commercial mosquito-repelling products.

5. Can I use tap water instead of distilled water?

You can, but distilled water helps keep the mixture fresher for longer.
