DIY Febreeze

This picture was found on the Internet and in no way my own. 

Again, if you've been keeping up with my then you know I would rather make it before I buy it, especially if it cost more than I feel it should.

So then, I make my own febreeze, I use the downy unstoppable's to do so but I still make it my own way.

I but the "Fresh" scent because it's the one I love the most, I've tried the lavender and liked it alright too but Fresh to me was better, but I'm sure your noses might smell things differently than mine so you choose.

But I pour probably around a tablespoon of the beads into a spray bottle, add in hot, like super hot water but only around 1/4 of a cup and let it sit and let the beads dissolve. Once they dissolve I add in warm water until I feel it is full, usually not to the top because I swish it around before each use and don't want a leak. So I usually leave around an inch from the top of my 12 oz spray bottle. These beads are around $5.00 plus tax on a smaller bottle, and the spray bottle cost me a whole $1.00 plus tax at the local dollar store. I have only had to make two spray bottles worth so far from one can and I still have plenty of beads left, because this stuff lasts so much longer than febreeze, so I'm not sure in the long run as of right now how much this will save you if you are an avid febreezer. But I do feel it would seriously take down the smell good cost and you can control how potent the smell is with added fewer or more beads to the bottle.

Plus if you haven't had time to do the laundry but this shirt you only wore a couple of hours from Wednesday needs a quick touch up spray a couple of sprays on it and BAM! It smells like it was just taken out of the dryer!

Anyway, I use this on my curtains, couch, mattresses whenever I deep clean them to give them a little more oomph life. I use this on everything I don't want to take down and wash every other week and things I can only spot or "top" clean and I've gotten a few compliments on how fresh everything smelled.
