I've heard of people using them for that so it definitely might! I notice the more I stir sometimes it starts to clear up a bit more so that's definitely possible! I just haven't tested it out myself so I ca't say for sure. ❤
Absolutely! Thanks for watching! It's kinda hard to know for sure, but I still have some from over a year and a half ago that are still good! So I would say at the very least, a year! But I'm getting close to 2 years on a few and still no issues! It may be different with different fragrances though but I would say at least a year. 😀
Absolutely love this video!!! Question... I see you didn't put a lot of fragrance oil is this a highly scented spray asking because I definitely want to try and make this but I love a highly scented room spray.
You want to look at IFRA statements for all fragrance to see how much is allowed in room spray! But yes 5% makes it very fragrant! Honestly sometimes you could easily do 3%-4% with stronger fragrances! You do want to be careful, adding too much fragrance can also leave oil spots on fabric or furniture/floors etc.
Oh no, haha! I designed them myself in canva! 😄 I have been doing graphic design for over 10 years though (the last 5 years as part of my full time job) so I mean I guess you’re not totally off! 🤣
@@lawhispersasmr6124 I’m sorry I’ve honestly never had that happen so I’m really not sure. Does it stay clumpy after you mix it? Are you adding the poly20 and preservative to the water before the fragrance oil or after? I always add the water, then preservative + poly20 then stir really well before adding the fragrance, then stir again once adding fragrance.
Hello, thank you for sharing your video. I’m still a little confused about the formula. I have a one (8oz) spray bottle. How can plug does numbers in the 8oz bottle? And I’m also using essential oil instead of fragrance oil. I hope I can get some help
Hello! Here's the recipe that I used. (Also in the description box) Makes 1 4oz bottle 3.68 oz water .08 oz poly 20 .20 oz fragrance .04 oz preservative So you'd just want to double the recipe for an 8oz bottle. So instead of 3.68 ounces of distilled water you'd want 7.36 ounces and so on. Hope that makes sense! :)
I haven’t personally tested any other preservatives so I’m not sure unfortunately! So sorry! You can definitely test it out, I would just maybe wait a couple weeks/months before selling and see if any mold etc begins to form in the bottle, that’s basically what the preservative does is make sure mold doesn’t form as you’re using water.
I don’t really have a way to measure it but I’ve always had good results and reviews! Just like with candles some scents are stronger and others are naturally lighter! 😄
Depends on how much you’re making! Here’s the formula: Makes 1 4oz bottle 3.68 oz water .08 oz poly 20 .20 oz fragrance .04 oz preservative You’ll have to convert the ounces to grams if that’s what you’re using. 😄
Thank you for sharing this!! Do you think a magnetic stirrer would help would with cloudiness?

Thank you. ♥️

You’re welcome
You should try the Body and Room Spray Base from Northwood Candle Supply. Just one step, add your F.O. and bottle it. Big time saver for me.
Thank you Nick this was my next step after completing my first Candle line.

Thank you for sharing. What would be the shelf life once made?

@@the1994candleco I want to double the amount that you're making, is it just as simple as doubling the ingredients sizes??
Yes! 😄
I need to find a way to get labels that look nice and I really like how you did your room spray and suggestions
I use the “weatherproof vinyl” type labels from online labels! 😄
@@the1994candleco I’m interested in getting some so basically you had a graphic designer make your labels and you upload the png ?
Oh no, haha! I designed them myself in canva! 😄 I have been doing graphic design for over 10 years though (the last 5 years as part of my full time job) so I mean I guess you’re not totally off! 🤣
Hello thank you for the formula
How long is shelf life ?
I don't know for sure but i've had some that we use for personal use for probably close to 2 years now and they still smell and work great!
Thanks for sharing for that reason I have joined your channel
Absolutely!! Thanks for watching/subscribing! 😄
Very to the point…love it
Thanks for watching! 😄
Can you please help me I use the same ingredients and when I add sorbic acid it clumps up. What am I doing wrong?

Great !!!!
If I order labels how do I add the fragrance to it and the oz
I use canva to design my labels! 😄

Hi Nick! Thank you for the video :) would you know an alternate preservative? Or would sorbic acid in power form work too?
I haven’t personally tested any other preservatives so I’m not sure unfortunately! So sorry! You can definitely test it out, I would just maybe wait a couple weeks/months before selling and see if any mold etc begins to form in the bottle, that’s basically what the preservative does is make sure mold doesn’t form as you’re using water.
@@the1994candleco thank you so much🤍
Does the base help the scent last longer and can we use this for car fragrances as well?
You can spray these in cars but I don’t think it’s the same as a car diffuser if that’s what you mean?
How well does the spray last in a room spray
I don’t really have a way to measure it but I’ve always had good results and reviews! Just like with candles some scents are stronger and others are naturally lighter! 😄
is 5% 5 grams?
Depends on how much you’re making! Here’s the formula: Makes 1 4oz bottle
3.68 oz water
.08 oz poly 20
.20 oz fragrance
.04 oz preservative
You’ll have to convert the ounces to grams if that’s what you’re using. 😄
