Can fragrance oil be substituted for the e.o.?
You can try it nancy but I would test first since I think fragrance oils can leave an oil residue. The amount used would be so minimal though that I doubt it would actually stain anything.
You can freshen up your home in one minute by boiling little amount of water in a pan with a tablespoon of dried mint (haven’t tried any other herbs yet) for a minute or two. Leaves your entire home smelling so fresh for some time!
Hi I was just wondering if the Lemon airfreshener would be a good subsitute for the Freebreeze. Your right the chemicals can be too much so it would be nice to know if there is a natural healthier air freshener and clothing freshener and furniture freshener can you recommend anything is there a natural healthier inexpensive way to freshen your home clothes and furniture without damage or staining help.
I use allot of the natural ingredients for floor and laundry it is awesome thanks for all the tips they are wonderful
I thought that I would contribute an old recipe that my mother taught me! In an pot place an orange,peach and lemon in quartered slices.
1tblspn. of honey
5 whole cloves or 1/4tspn.of ground cloves
1tspn. of real vanilla flavoring
3c.of water
Bring the water with all of the ingredients in it to a rapid boil and let boil for 15 minutes. It will take out any odors in your home; and keep it smelling fresh for up to one week or more.
Depending on your like or dislike of the smell of cloves you can feel free to omit or decrease the amount used of them. This recipe also works without the cloves and the use of mint leaves instead!
Enjoy!!
I’ve tried lemon and/or orange extract from the spice aisle at the grocery store. It works just as well and doesn’t have the bits of real lemon which can be messy.
This is the first air freshener recipe I have tried, mostly because I already have all of the ingredients. I can’t actually smell any lemon smell at all. Is it supposed to smell lemony or just help get rid of odors in the air?
Bell it’s not a strong scent but I can smell the lemon in it.
I made this when I was cleaning my son’s room. It smells great, works great and I love it!
