Dusting is my least favorite chore. But.. thanks to allergies and a couple cute dogs who shed a lot, I dust my home at least once a week. Sometimes I use something like this, but I also like to add a little polish and fresh smell with this homemade dusting spray.
Not only does it shine the furniture, it actually works as a disinfectant too. It’s a nice added bonus to be able to disinfect your home while wiping dust off the furniture!
I love this cleaning solution and it is so easy to put together. Here’s how to do it:
To make it, I put about 5 drops of Lemon Essential Oil in a 4oz glass spray bottle
Then I added a teaspoon or two of vinegar and filled the bottle up the rest of the way with water.
The mixture worked wonderfully as a dusting spray and furniture polish. Lemon essential oil is also a great disinfectant (It has many other great uses as well.)
When I use this spray I usually spray a couple times on to a microfiber cloth and then wipe down the furniture with it.
Since the mixture is non-toxic you could also just pass this chore right along to the kiddos in your home.
This DIY Dusting Spray solution has become a staple in my cleaning routine. It makes my house look fantastic and smell wonderful!

This sounds like it’s easy to do and would smell WONDERFUL! Thanks for the post!
It is so easy and smells awesome! Thanks for stopping by!
I really like this, in the past I would do something a little different and mix half olive oil and half lemon juice (I’ll be hones I use the re-constituted version from the fridge) and mix it in a very small bottle. Yes, I use plastic, sorry with the kids I feel glass isn’t safe but I know others will disagree. I am more worried about the glass breaking, than using the plastic. I had to stop using this though, because no matter what my husband always goes out of his way to purchase the store stuff. There are very few things he is okay with as homemade cleaning products. He helps a lot with the cleaning since we both work full time out of the house, so we had to compromise on this. At lest I get to keep my homemade cleaning wipes, which I would not budge on.
Ah, I’ve heard of using olive oil as a furniture polish but I haven’t tried that one yet. Thanks for visiting!
I love my doTerra oils! I’m sure this spray smells just delightful and gets thinks sparkling clean! Isn’t it nice knowing you don’t have to worry about any chemicals, too, when you use oils? 🙂
Oh I love my doTerra oils too! Yes, it’s wonderful to be able to clean without worrying about chemicals – I’ll never go back to chemical-filled cleaners!

Thank you! I’ve tried all your cosmetic and housecleaner recipes. I love having the ingredients on hand and just being able to whip up a batch whenever I get low on something. I have all this stuff except the detergent, so I’m off to the store and actually looking forward to dusting when I get home.
