DIY Review: Homemade Febreeze

DIY Review: Homemade Febreeze

             

             Ingredients:

3 tbsp.  Fabric Softener

3 c.         Hot Water

1 tbsp.  Baking Soda

1              Super cool label that says you made it yourself

                Directions:

Mix everything up and spray away. Don’t forget to tape on your label.

                At first I was going to use my DIY Fabric Softener to do this. I was super excited about it too… Talk about being a DIY queen bee. However, the fabric softener we made smells like vinegar. Just to note, it doesn’t once it’s put in a load of clothes. I don’t know what happens, but it’s great- no vinegar, just smell goodie goodness. But, I was afraid that the vinegar smell wouldn’t go away when I was spraying this on curtains. I didn’t want people to walk in my house and start craving pickles. So, I used the little bit of store bought softener I had left. I used the blue Suavitel, my favorite store bought variety, plus it has a good price tag too.

                I promise I am not being bias when I say this stuff works great. I gave up name brand Febreeze a few years ago when I discovered the Dollar Tree version. It doesn’t have a smelly smell that lasts over a day like Febreeze does, but it gets the odor out. No smell is better than bad smell. Particularly at ¼ of the cost. This homemade stuff though, the smell lasts. My curtains still smelled yummy on the second day. Third day, no smell. But that’s actually a tall order since I had self-cleaned my oven and the rest of the house smells like a fire scene. If you have the stuff around, I super recommend making this as soon as your current bottle runs out. You’ll thank me when you’ve stopped paying ridiculous amounts for flowery goodness.
