If you've ever wondered what lemon myrtle spray is used for, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Derived from Backhousia citriodora — a native Australian rainforest tree grown right here in Queensland — lemon myrtle is one of nature's most powerful and versatile botanical extracts. At Lemon Myrtle Products, we've been harnessing its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties since 2015.

What is Lemon Myrtle Spray?

Our Lemon Myrtle All Natural Spray is a 100% natural, alcohol-free mist made from pure lemon myrtle essential oil in purified water. Available in 50ml, 125ml and 250ml sizes, it's safe for the whole family — including pets — and has dozens of everyday uses around the home.

10 Ways to Use Lemon Myrtle Spray

1. Natural Insect Repellent

Lemon myrtle contains high concentrations of citral — a naturally occurring compound proven to repel mosquitoes, flies and other insects. Spray it on skin or clothing before heading outdoors. Unlike synthetic repellents, it contains no DEET and is safe for children.

2. Air Freshener and Room Deodoriser

A few sprays into any room instantly eliminate odours and leave a fresh, uplifting lemon-citrus fragrance. Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, cars, and pet areas. Unlike aerosol sprays, lemon myrtle spray contains no propellants or synthetic fragrances.

3. Foot and Shoe Deodoriser

Thanks to its potent antifungal properties, lemon myrtle spray is highly effective for foot odour and sweaty feet. Spray directly onto feet and between toes daily. It naturally targets the bacteria responsible for foot odour without harsh chemicals.

4. Hand Sanitiser

Lemon myrtle's antibacterial efficacy is well-documented. Spray onto hands and rub together as a natural alternative to alcohol-based hand sanitisers. Unlike alcohol sanitisers, it won't dry out skin.

5. Pet Bed Deodoriser

Safe for use around animals, lemon myrtle spray effectively neutralises pet odours from beds, blankets and upholstery. Lightly mist and allow to air dry. The natural scent is pleasant for humans but helps deter fleas naturally.

6. Car Deodoriser

Keep a 50ml bottle in your glovebox. A couple of sprays will freshen any car interior for hours. It's perfect for removing food smells, pet odours and that musty air conditioning smell.

7. Linen and Pillow Spray

Spray lightly onto pillows and bed linen before sleep. The calming citrus aroma promotes relaxation and the antibacterial properties keep your sleep environment fresh and clean.

8. Yoga Mat and Gym Equipment Cleaner

Mist onto yoga mats, weights and gym equipment and wipe down. Lemon myrtle naturally disinfects surfaces without leaving chemical residue, making it ideal for equipment that touches skin.

9. Antifungal Foot Soak Spray

For those dealing with tinea or athlete's foot, spray generously between toes and on the soles of feet morning and night. Lemon myrtle has demonstrated antifungal activity comparable to tea tree oil in several studies.

10. Cutting Board and Kitchen Surface Spray

As an entirely food-safe natural disinfectant, lemon myrtle spray can be used directly on cutting boards and kitchen surfaces. It eliminates common kitchen bacteria without the harsh chemical smell of commercial cleaners.
