Nothing can freshen a room better than a few sprays of Febreze. Unfortunately, it is expensive and an average family can burn through a bottle very quickly.
But here’s the good news: You can make it yourself. And you don’t have to be an expert in molecular nuclear physics to do it! I most often make mine with essential oils instead of fabric softener, but I’ll give you both versions:
The basic recipe: In a 32 ounce spray bottle (clean and use your old Febreze bottle) pour 4 tablespoons of liquid fabric softener. Fill the bottle the rest of the way with water, leaving a little space at the top. Give it a shake and there you have it. You just made your own Febreze.
The essential oil version: Fill a clean 32 ounce spray bottle with water, leaving space at the top for shaking. Use about 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon of essential oil in place of liquid fabric softener. Lavender and rose are my current favorites.
Whichever one you try, use it just as you would real Febreze.

ReplyDeleteFollowing you too now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds neat. I'm not a big fan of spraying chemicals in my house (as you know, you read my dusting post, lol)...but I love lavendar water spray (for linens) and I'll spray it all over my curtains, carpets, furniture, etc.. :)
