Now featuring our updated formula for improved performance
Say goodbye to unpleasant odors with Midwest Fragrance Company’s newly improved Room Spray Base. Still the clean, easy-to-use formula you love—now upgraded with better solubility and a higher recommended fragrance load to give your room sprays even more impact.
Unlike standard bases that just cover up odors, this advanced formula actively neutralizes and absorbs tough smells like smoke, sweat, pet odors, and household trash. It uses naturally-derived, commercial-grade enzymes to break down unwanted odors at the source—leaving the air truly fresh.
Crafted with reverse osmosis and deionization technology, this water-based formula blends smoothly with most fragrance oils for a clear, residue-free finish. The updated version now supports a fragrance load of 7–10%, and in some cases, up to 15%—giving you more flexibility and stronger scent payoff than ever before.
Whether you’re just starting out or scaling your product line, our Room Spray Base delivers powerful performance in a formula that’s:
✔ Alcohol-free
✔ VOC-free
✔ Phthalate-free
✔ Vegan & cruelty-free
Perfect for air care and linen sprays, this base makes it easy to transform any space with your signature scent—no extra preservatives or dilution required. Just add fragrance, stir, and go.
✔ Recommended Cure Time: 0-24 hours (Note: Most room sprays are ready to use right after creating, but some scents may improve as the ingredients fully bind over time.)
✔ Safe for most fabrics, but always spot test final formulations to avoid potential staining or discoloration.
✔Skin-safe, but not intended for body mists or skincare use.
✔ Shelf Life:12 months
✔ Sold by weight, not volume

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I use this room spray base?
A: It’s super simple! Just add your desired fragrance oil (typically 7–10%), stir well, and let it sit for up to 24 hours to fully bind. No dilution, preservatives, or extra ingredients needed. Then pour into your preferred spray bottles—and you’re good to go! Here is a link to our step-by-step guide for more information!
Q: When was this updated?
A: May 28, 2025 at 5pm CST is when the switch over to this updated version is happening! All orders purchased after this date will be be the updated formula! If you ordered and the website title shows "Updated Formula" you know you ordered this version!
Q: Why is my room spray cloudy?
A: Cloudiness usually means the fragrance load is too high for that specific fragrance oil. Try lowering the percentage until the mixture turns clear, which is an indication of full solubility.
Q: Why is my spray yellowing over time?
A: Some fragrance materials naturally oxidize, which can cause discoloration or yellowing over time. This doesn’t mean the product has gone bad—it's just a reaction to exposure to light, air, or heat. We recommend storing finished sprays in opaque or UV-safe packaging to help reduce this effect.
Q: The base smells on its own—is that normal?
A: Yes! Some of the ingredients used to create the base have their own odor characteristics which can have a light scent before fragrance is added. Once your fragrance oil is mixed in, it typically blends and fades out—but you can always let it sit for 24 hours to fully bind before use.
Q: Can I use essential oils instead of fragrance oils? A: Yes, but use caution! Essential oils are more concentrated, so we recommend starting at a lower usage rate and testing for solubility, scent strength, and stability before scaling up.
Q: Why are my floors slippery after spraying this room spray?
A: Because this formula is alcohol-free and water-based, it doesn’t evaporate as quickly as traditional alcohol-based sprays. We recommend anchoring your room spray into linens, curtains, or upholstery (after spot testing first) and avoiding heavy spraying near floors to help prevent slipping.
Q: What does VOC-free mean?
A: VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds—chemicals that can evaporate into the air and contribute to air pollution or health concerns. Our base is completely VOC-free, which means it

For soap-making, our oils are perfect for melt-and-pour, cold process, or hot process soaps. Always follow recommended usage rates and do a small test batch to ensure everything works beautifully.

The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always checkIFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
