3. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time while stirring with hands until it forms into the consistency
of “damp sand”. It should stay together when you press it together. If you add too much water
just add some more baking soda and salt until the consistency is right.

Room Freshener
Fill a spray bottle with 10-20 drops of essential oils, depending on the size of the bottle. Use to

**It is recommended that you use glass spray bottles or containers when using essential oils. It is
especially important if you are using citrus oil, as it may eat through a plastic container.
**If you get an oil in your eye, do not try to wash it out with water. Use a carrier oil to clear it out of
your eyes.
