This might be one of the best cleaning DIYs [1] ever. You only need three ingredients to make this knockoff fabric refresher that leaves your space smelling like it was freshly laundered. We found the smart recipe [2] on Pinterest and had to give it a try. Your couches will smell refreshed, your linens will last longer between washings, and you can even spritz in your car — for only pennies.
What You'll Need:
- Spray bottle
- 2 tablespoons fabric softener
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 3 cups hot water
- Essential oils (optional)
Directions:
- Measure and add your favorite fabric softener (or make your own [3]!) to the spray bottle, using a funnel as needed. Then add the baking soda and fill the bottle with hot water.
- Screw the top onto the bottle, and shake the bottle until the baking soda is distributed. If you're feeling like amping up the scent, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, which also adds a bit of antibacterial properties to the spray.
- Spritz directly onto furniture or linens for instant refreshing. For best results, shake before each use.
Makes around 27 ounces of imitation Febreze.
