Use Body Splash as Air Fresheners

After using the restroom, I had forgotten that I ran out of aerosol, scented air freshener. So I used what was nearby: cucumber watermelon body splash.

A couple of squirts above the toilet. It cleared the air, and it smelled really nice without hurting the environment.

I also do that! I do keep a can of Lysol spray handy in the winter in case someone gets sick then I keep everything sprayed down. Other than that I use body sprays! They are cheaper also.

I do this too! I have found that if you take a combination of alchohol-based hair spray (either aerosol or pump style) and spray that into the air 3-4 squirts with 3-4 squirts of body spray it does a better job!

Tip: Use Body Sprays as Air Fresheners

Instead of buying air fresheners to spray in your bathroom or anywhere else in your house, I use my old body sprays, I have so many and if you get tired of using them on yourself its a good way to use it up! And your house smells good.

I have been doing this for years now and it does save. I am a teacher and body sprays are easy to buy for the parents so we as teachers get our share. (09/11/2009)

RE: Use Body Sprays as Air Fresheners

I also use body sprays I've been given to spritz my carpet after I vacuum. Works like Febreze, only it was free! A longtime friend gives me the ones she doesn't like, so I've got plenty. They also end up as "backups" when we run out of air freshener in the bathroom between paychecks. I'd use them full-time, but hubby prefers the commercial bathroom sprays. :P (09/13/2009)

I always check out the "Discontinued" baskets in the HBA section at Wally, Target, drug and grocery stores for deeply discounted body sprays for this purpose. About a month ago, I got 2 purse-sized bottles for .50 each! Both are in the bathroom for air fresheners! I love the idea of using them on the carpet after vacuuming! Brilliant!
