Home Made Febreze



I've seen this here and there but didn't really think about it until I needed some. I don't really care for Febreze. The smells always have a weird factor and I'm sure they are packed with all kinds of crap to 'help take out odor'...really?

In preparation for my sons birthday and a bunch of people coming to my house I thought I would freshen up the furniture. I found a recipe that I liked but altered it a touch...worked AMAZINGLY.

You'll need 2 cups of hot water
1/3-1/2 cup of Downy smell good beads (or another brand)
1/8 cup of alcohol
Spray bottle
water to fill the rest of the bottle up.

 First add the alcohol to the spray bottle.

Put very warm or hot water into a two cup measuring cup. Add the scent beads to the water and stir. If the beads don't dissolve all the way that's okay. Mine didn't and I just added the rest of the beads to the spray bottle. They will dissolve, it just takes some time.




After the alcohol and scent water are in the spray bottle, just fill it the rest of the way up. I didn't completely fill mine up, but I did a good portion of the way. Be sure to shake before each use.



The alcohol should take the scent out of whatever you spray it on and the scent from the beads will soon evade your nose!

After mine set for a few days, I though I would try it again. Still worked, but took a minute to smell the scent of the beads. It didn't seem as strong, which actually worked out better for me.


God Blessed!! Hope you can make your house SMELL amazing!
