How to use a room and linen spray like a pro

Most People Don't Use Their Room Spray Effectively

Room spray shouldn't just be sprayed any old way. The right technique boosts the fragrance's diffusion and makes the scent last longer.

1. The Right Spraying Distance

For rooms: Hold the spray 30 to 50 cm away, spraying upwards — the scent will naturally descend.

For linens: Hold 20 to 30 cm from the fabric. Avoid silk and delicate materials.

2. The Right Time to Spray

  • Before guests arrive: 10 minutes before guests come over
  • In the morning: just before opening the curtains
  • After cleaning: wait 15 minutes for cleaning products to dissipate
  • On linens: just before putting them away in the wardrobe

3. Surfaces That Retain Scent Best

  • ✅ Fabrics and textiles (curtains, cushions, sheets) — excellent scent retention
  • ✅ Wood and rattan — absorb and diffuse over time
  • ⚠️ Tiles and smooth surfaces — fleeting scent
  • ❌ Plastic — retains almost nothing

4. How Many Sprays Per Room?

2 to 3 sprays are enough for 20-25m². More is not better — an overly intense fragrance becomes oppressive.

5. Storing Your Spray

Store your Zinia sprays away from direct light and heat to preserve the olfactory molecules.
