Lemongrass is a good alternative to lemon essential oil, the oil I use most often in my natural homemade household recipes. You will see, the scent of lemongrass is simply divine !
White vinegar: thanks to the white vinegar, you can also use this anti-dust spray as a multi-purpose cleaner, in case of troubleshooting.

Olive oil : it is the essential oil of lemongrass and olive oil that give the mixture its beautiful yellow color. But don't worry because once vaporized, this liquid is completely transparent and does not leave stains on your surfaces.
In addition, olive oil is particularly beneficial for wooden surfaces. Indeed, it helps to protect the wood moisture and retain its original color. It also has an anti-static role in this homemade cleaning product.
I know, I repeat myself: but above all do not forget to shake the spray bottle well before each use :-)
This is an important step, because it is the only way to mix the oils well with the water in the anti-dust mixture!
