Either 70 or 91% rubbing alcochol.

No, the brand of dish soap doesn’t significantly matter when making a DIY Poo Pourri spray. The dish soap is included for its grease-cutting and cleansing properties, which help disperse the essential oils in the water. However, you might want to choose one that has a neutral or pleasant scent so it doesn’t clash with the essential oils you’re using; or is clear or lightly colored to keep the spray aesthetically clean and transparent.

I’m glad it works for your family, and that you found it to be less expensive than the commercial version. Thanks for commenting and letting us know.

I hope you like using the DIY Poo Pourri Spray. Thanks for commenting.

The rubbing alcohol or vodka (high proof) is what keeps the essential oil and water combined and sprayable – no need to the soap

I saved my old Poo-Pourri bottle and filled it, works great!

The dish soap helps the oil and water combine because otherwise they separate in the bottle. That separation will also keep the spray mechanism from clogging. The dish soap also provides additional odor absorption. You could swap it out for liquid castile soap or vegetable glycerin.

Glass is definitely the preferred way to store mixtures with EO’s, but I carry a small plastic spray bottle of this in my purse for when I’m out and it has held up well for several years now! I found small ones on Amazon that I used to make as gifts.

I thought so, when I saw everyone was using plastic. I didn’t think that was a good idea. Thanks for your post.

Thanks for the tip! Can you use plastic spray bottle or glass?
