I love Febreze! But I think it is a major rip off when it comes to the price. I saw a post on Pinterest for "Ghetto Febreze" and there was no way I could resist making it! I already had the three ingredients so I went for it that night after work. I was surprised at how much I liked my Ghetto Febreze!
-In a clean spray bottle mix:
-1 cup of water
-1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol or vodka
-30 drops of essential oil*
I did not have any rubbing alcohol in the house but I did have Vodka so that's what I used. There was a bit of an odor from this for a few seconds but it quickly disappeared and left me smelling only the clean linen essential oil that I had used. I spot tested on the back of my suede couch and it didn't leave any kind of stain.
*Use more or less to suit your preference for strength. For some fragrances you will need to adjust your normal amount. I use more for clean linen scents than I do for apple and lavender.

We make a spray bottle of 1/3 vodka and 2/3 water to spray on carpet before vacuuming (it kills dust mites that live in carpet so you can vacuum them up). It does not leave a sticky residue on the carpet! Also we keep a bottle by the kitchen sink to use on hands, vegetables & fruits. It is a great sanitizer. I never thought of putting scent in it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great ideas for using vodka around the home! I will have to do another post on all the different uses for it. I had completely neglected to think about it's usefulness as a sanitizer and I had no clue that it could kill dust mites in the carpet! I will most definitely be adding your idea to my list of cleaning routines!
