Homemade Fabric Freshener (Febreeze)

I have two dogs, three children, and a husband and sometimes in our muggy maritime weather our home can get a little musty smelling. Febreeze does not cut it. I find that it will freshen but the smell only lasts a few hours and with our very humid environment, Febreeze does not dry. So I came up with this great home-made Febreeze. It really works. I use it in my vehicles as well. All you need are some few simple products that you should already have in your home.

Ingredients:

  • 1 part baking soda
  • 1 part fabric softener (Gain has a great smell)
  • 2 parts warm water

Directions:

Mix those three ingredients and there you go, your own home-made Febreeze. The fresh smell lasts a long time, plus it is a bit of a money saver on your wallet, especially with three kids and two dogs. Enjoy!

A nice and inexpensive olfactory treat is to 'scent freshen' clothing. All you have to do is make a spray bottle mixture of two cups water with 6 or more drops of your favorite essential oil.
