DIY Fabric Freshener Spray: Save Time, Money, and Reduce Waste

Why spend money on expensive fabric freshener sprays when you can make your own in just two seconds with items you already have at home? This quick and savvy tip will not only freshen up your living space but also help you save time, money, and reduce waste.


Here's how to make your own fabric freshener spray:


  1. Reuse Your Fabric Softener Bottle: When your bottle of fabric softener is finished, don't toss it away just yet.

  2. Mix with Warm Water: Fill the empty bottle about halfway with warm water. Then, put the lid on and shake vigorously to mix.

  3. Decant into a Spray Bottle: Pour the mixture into a clean spray bottle, and voilà! You now have a fabric spray that will leave a freshly washed scent on anything you spray it on—hello, fresh-smelling dog bed!


Bonus Tip: Once you've decanted the mixture, leave the lid off the empty fabric softener bottle and place it in your recycling bin. It will keep your bin smelling fresh and clean without the need for extra products.


The Benefits:

  • Save Money: No need to buy separate fabric fresheners or bin fresheners.

  • Reduce Waste: You've reduced your waste to just one bottle while reusing what you already have.

  • Fresh Smelling Home: Enjoy a home that smells like it's freshly cleaned, effortlessly.


You'll wonder why you haven't always been doing this!
