Using room sprays correctly: Dos & Don'ts for a perfect fragrance oasis
Room sprays can transform your home in an instant. But there are a few things you should keep in mind to ensure the scent doesn't come across as overpowering or artificial. Learn all the dos and don'ts here!
Dos: How to use room sprays optimally
✅ Spray into the air: This will spread the fragrance evenly.
✅ Do not spray too much: 1-2 sprays are often enough.
✅ Consider the room size: It is better to spray less in small rooms.
✅ Change the scent: This keeps your sense of smell fresh.
Don'ts: What you should avoid
❌ Do not spray directly onto furniture or textiles unless expressly permitted.
❌ Do not spray near food.
❌ Don't overdose: Too much fragrance often seems artificial.
How long does the scent last?
Room sprays are designed for a short-term freshness boost. The scent lasts for 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the room size and ventilation. Diffusers are better for a long-lasting effect.
