A reliable and consistently reproducible technique to fabricate$^{222}$Rn-loaded radioactive sources ($\sim$0.5-1 kBq just after fabrication)based on liquid scintillator (LS), with negligible amounts of LS quenchercontaminants, was implemented. This work demonstrates the process that will beused during the Borexino detector's upcoming calibration campaign, with one orseveral $\sim$100 Bq such sources will be deployed at different positions inits fiducial volume, currently showing unprecedented levels of radiopurity.These sources need to fulfill stringent requirements of $^{222}$Rn activity,transparency to the radiations of interest and complete removability from thedetector to ensure their impact on Borexino's radiopurity is negligible.Moreover, the need for a clean, undistorted spectral signal for thecalibrations imposes a tight requirement to minimize quenching agents("quenchers") to null or extremely low levels.
