I haven't done this for years, but my mom used to boil a big pot of water on the stove. She'd put cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and halved oranges and lemons, and a little bit of vanilla essence in it. It makes the house smell exquisite.

In a spray bottle mix;
1c. water
2T. baking soda (natural odor remover)
2T. Vodka (quick drying properties)
5-10 drops of tea tree oil (natural antibacterial properties)
5-10 drops lavendar essential oil
1t. pure vanilla

The lavendar and vanilla are obviously for scent. You can make any essential oil combination you like (mandarin/vanilla, eucalyptus in cold season, rose/bergamot....etc.)


This isn't actually for an air freshener per se, but for a fabric freshener (homemade febreeze). However, if you spray it on your fabrics and carpet it deoderizes your home.

I've been seeing those cool reed diffusers around a lot, and have been wondering if there's a natural way to simulate those. Has anyone tried?

Orange and lemon eos are also great smelling and cheap. Cedar meanwhile is one of the cheapest, and of course smells great.

Does anyone know how to make baking soda "cubes or biscuts", like to drop in a drawer or diaper pail/trash to deoderize?

Thanks
