Faux Febreeze

Loves2Teach's Note:

A wonderful dirt cheap alternative to buying a $5 bottle of Febreze. This version is about 5 cents to make and the scent is much nicer too. I use it all the time.

• Total Time: 1 mins
• Prep Time: 1 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 bottle

• 1 ½-4 tablespoons ultra downy clean breeze fabric softener
• 25 ounces water
• 32 ounces spray bottle , new and clean (please don't re-use a cleaning product bottle unless it is an old Febreeze bottle)

Directions:

1. Put Downy and water in bottle and spray on furniture, carpeting, pillows, shower curtains -- etc -- To do a fabric test, spray small amount in an area where it cannot be seen.
2. I never sprayed this on anything white, but I spray it all over my house, once a week.

I've been using this for about a week. My couch smells good, but I wanted a little stronger smell, so I put in about 4 tablespoons of Downy in a 32 ounce spray bottle. My house smells fantastic and the cost is outstanding compared to Febreeze. I just used this on white pillowcases, and it didn't stain. And the price can't be beat! I'll be using this from now on instead of expensive Febreeze. Thanks, B!

I loved this! Not only does it work great, I feel so economical & "house-ly" knowing that I made it. Edited to say I used 4 tbs per Denise's suggestion.

This is right on the money! Pun intended. Make sure to use a spray bottle with a mist setting or your furniture will take forever to dry. This is great! Thanks so much!
