Here are some homemade air fresheners using ingredients you probably already have:

"Citrus" Air Freshener
Peels of lemon, orange, lime, tangerine or grapefruit
1 pot of water
Put slices of citrus fruit peel into the pot of water. Let simmer gently for an hour or so for a citrus scent.

"Baked Goodness" Air Freshener
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or a few cloves
1 pot of water
Let simmer gently for an hour or so for a fresh baking scent.

"Easy as Apple Pie" Air Freshener
Simmer a sliced apple and a couple of cinnamon sticks in some water on your stove. The whole house will smell like apple pie

Great ideas!
Not sure if I shared here earlier, but I mix fabric softener, bit of alcohol and water in spray bottle, it is like a homemade version of Febreeze. Great for fabrics, but dont spray on or toward tile or vinyl floors unless you want an indoor slippy slide.

is that rubbing alcohol maddie, i see alcohol being used for many things these days but ive never seen it anywhere near me, so what exactly am i looking for hun ?

Guest

yes, rubbing alcohol is what I use. Doesnt matter the strength, it just helps evaporation.
Vodka is used by others in place of the rubbing alcohol. I think its vodka, its the booze that has no smell LOL.
