Everyone loves a pleasant scent and cleanliness at home. It is precisely the scent that can put us in a good mood, relieve us of stress and thanks to it we feel so good at home. My neighbor Janka has her own method of fragrancing the whole apartment without chemicals and without spending on expensive store fresheners. Everything you need you will surely find in your own home. You just need to mix it and use it. That’s all, I practice it at our home too and everyone, who comes compliments the gentle, clean scent. I recommend it. 🙂
Today we want to show you how to make a homemade freshener You will need: - a spray bottle,
- baking soda (1 tablespoon),
- fabric softener (3 tablespoons),
- warm water (3 cups).
Preparation and use:
- a spray bottle,
- baking soda (1 tablespoon),
- fabric softener (3 tablespoons),
- warm water (3 cups).
Preparation and use:
Pour the fabric softener into the bottle and add hot water. Add the baking soda and close. Shake so the ingredients mix and your fragrance is ready.
However, I also want to suggest another version of the homemade freshener that does not contain fabric softener and you can really make it in large quantities. It will only cost you a few pennies.
For this you will need: - a 3.5 liter bottle,
-  >our favorite essential (fragrant) oil (20 drops),
-  >apple cider vinegar (800 ml),
-  >baking soda (10 g),
- warm to hot water (150-200 ml).
Preparation and use:
It is very important that the bottle is large enough because the liquid will expand. Pour hot water into a pot and then add the apple cider vinegar and baking soda. It will foam, but that is a normal reaction. Pour the mixture into the bottle, add the essential oil and shake. Store the perfume in a dark, cooler and dry place. This perfume can be sprayed on curtains or on the carpet, and you will have a pleasant scent throughout the apartment.
More great ideas straight from you
Get rid of cooking odors in an instant
If you need to quickly fill a room with a pleasant scent, place a small plate with cinnamon, vanilla or another aromatic spice in the microwave. Turn it on for 15 seconds and you will be surprised how quickly your whole kitchen fills with a lovely scent.
You can remove kitchen odors by simmering aromatic herbs in an open pot of water. Mint, sage, lavender, oregano, chamomile and thyme quickly absorb all the odors. If you don’t have herbs it’s okay, boiled water with vinegar will do the same job.
Instant fragrance where you have carpets
Housewives know that to instantly freshen the air in a room it’s enough to sprinkle a packet of vanilla sugar on the carpet, or baking soda mixed with a few drops of essential oil – in the latter case it also provides excellent disinfection.
Smell from shoes?
Just pour ordinary salt into them and shake out in the morning. Salt is an excellent odor absorber.
Use pine cones, this trick will scent the whole apartment
Put pine cones from the forest in the oven for half an hour at 200 degrees. The pine cones will dry out and be disinfected. Then place them in a bag and drop a few drops of your favorite essential oil between the scales. Close and let them sit for a few hours. Then just spread them around the space. You have a beautiful decoration and an air freshener in one.
Pantry
If you place a container with ground charcoal into the cupboard where you store food, it will absorb all residual odors. However, the charcoal should be replaced from time to time.
Odors in the apartment
You can now get rid of apartment odors for the winter by using some homemade mixtures, for example hot water with vinegar or lemon juice placed in a bowl on a warm radiator. You can also spread orange or lemon peels on the heating.
Odor from the drain
Clogged water and drain pipes are often accompanied by an unpleasant smell. Clean them by occasionally flushing the drains with boiling water and a little baking soda.
How to prevent odors when frying?
To prevent the fat from burning and smelling we can use an ordinary carrot. Put 3-4 slices . A cork in the oil works just as well.
