Let’s make your home smell fantastic!
Gather Your Ingredients
You only need two basic ingredients to make your own air freshener: fabric softener and baking soda. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1/4 cup of fabric softener
- 2 tablespoons of baking soda
- 3 1/2 cups of hot water
- Spray bottle
It’s that simple! You might already have most of these items at home, so this could even be a free project.
Mix Your Ingredients
Start by pouring the baking soda into a bowl. Then, add the hot water and stir until the baking soda dissolves completely.
This will make sure that your air freshener is smooth and free of any clumps. Once that’s done, add the fabric softener to the mix.
Give it a good stir to ensure everything is well combined. Now you’ve got your homemade air freshener solution ready!
Transfer to a Spray Bottle
Carefully pour the mixture into a spray bottle using a funnel to avoid spills. Make sure the spray bottle is clean and dry before you start pouring.
Once you’ve transferred the mixture, screw the top back on tightly. Give it a little shake to mix everything one last time.
And there you have it, your DIY air freshener is ready to use.
Spray Around Your Home
Now comes the fun part – spraying your homemade air freshener around your home! Spray it in the air, on your furniture, curtains, or even in your car.
Just avoid spraying it directly on delicate fabrics or surfaces. You’ll be surprised at how fresh and pleasant everything smells.
Plus, it’s a great way to recycle and save some cash!
Store Properly
It’s best to store your DIY air freshener in a cool, dark place when you’re not using it. This will help keep the fabric softener scent fresh.
Make sure to shake the bottle well before each use to re-mix the ingredients. If the scent starts to fade over time, feel free to make a new batch.
It’s a quick and easy process, so why not?
This didn’t work for me at all. No matter what I did the baking soda wouldn’t dissolve all the way and just kept clogging up my sprayer. 😞
