Notebook details

The recipe is titled “Dusting Spray.” Mother specifies an oil choice and says to shake during use. No application method or shelf life is written.

Practical notes

Oil and water will separate, and the relatively high oil content may leave residue or slippery surfaces. Vinegar can harm some wooden finishes and stone. This water-containing mixture has no validated preservative or shelf life. Do not spray on floors, electronics or delicate finishes without verifying compatibility.
