Last week when my younger sister asked about homemade Febreze she apparently didn't approve of my response because about 20 minutes later I got a text from her telling me that she just made her own and what she thought of it.
So this blog post is courtesy of my younger sister, Pig. Why do I call her Pig? I have no idea, but that's been her nickname for the last 20+ years.
Homemade Febreze
You Will Need:
1/8 Cup of Your Favorite Fabric Softener
2 Tablespoons Baking Soda
Hot Tap Water - enough to fill the bottle (Pig used a 16 oz bottle)
Directions:
Pour all the ingredients into a spray bottle and shake until well mixed. Spray onto any fabric surface.
Looking around the Internet I have found many variations of this recipe so it looks like you could play around with the amount of ingredients until you get a combination that works for you.
Pig, mixed her ingredients together then used the spray on her couches
Disclaimer: Neither of us use store bought Febreze so we can't tell you how it compares, all I can give you is her opinion of the homemade stuff.
The Verdict: Pig said "My couches, the whole living room, smells super yummy." It didn't last long though. Pig said by that evening the smell was completely gone and her couches smelt the same as they always do.
Even though it was short lived, Pig's son enjoyed the smell while it lasted.
