PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a composition appropriate to air treatment by dispersion into air; a composition low in toxicity and risk, avoidable of using undesirable constituents by metered sending; a composition transparent and existing in a single phase; a composition containing only a small quantity of volatile organic compounds (VOC), thereby being suited for air treatment; and stable supply of optional active ingredients when sprayed the composition.SOLUTION: The spray composition for delivering active ingredients into air comprises active ingredients mixed in a carrier composition containing glycol ether expressed by general formula (I), wherein Ris a 1C-4C alkyl group; n is 2 or 3, provided that when n is 2, Ris not a methyl group. The vapor pressure of the carrier composition at 20°C is lower than 14 Pa. The use of the composition is also provided.
