Yes, if you use safe and natural ingredients. Here are some tips to make sure it’s safe:
Witch hazel is a plant-derived substance often used in skincare and medicinal products. It comes from the bark and leaves of the witch hazel shrub and is known for its astringent properties. You can find witch hazel in various forms like liquid extracts. Make sure to choose products without added alcohol or other potentially irritating ingredients, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
Linen spray is generally safe for most materials, but it’s a good idea to do a patch test before using it on delicate or sensitive fabrics. It’s typically safe for cotton, linen, synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon, wool, and silk. However, be cautious with delicate or vintage fabrics, and do a test in a small area first to make sure it’s safe.
The environmental friendliness of DIY linen spray depends on the ingredients used and how it’s made and disposed of. Using natural, sustainably sourced ingredients and eco-friendly packaging can make it more environmentally friendly. Be mindful of waste and use the spray sparingly to reduce environmental impact. Overall, DIY linen spray has the potential to be more eco-friendly than commercial products, especially if you choose sustainable ingredients and packaging.
