    Can the homemade febreeze be safely used (sprayed) on clothing? I don’t want to ruin any clothes.
    Thanks

    My mom is in a NH. I’ve been making this for her room. At 93 she is in diapers and the odor was overpowering. We are using bottle after bottle. Now I use 2 old bottles….refill one and bring the other home to refill. Saves me tons of money. I also use the Purex scent booster crystals… 1/4 cup in hot water with 2 caps rubbing alcohol. Wonderful and very inexpensive.

    Have made this twice now and love it. Just spray sparingly and you won’t get a build up. You don’t need much to eliminate odors.

    Hi! Question, I have been making my own fabric softener. It consists of white vinegar with hair conditioner and hot water. Can this be used/added to the water and baking soda mixture to make homemade freshener?
    Thanks!

    I was going to try using essential oil instead of Downy. A few drops in a Febreeze size bottle should be plenty and won’t leave a residue.

    I make my own fabric softener. I use a tsp of it with half water half alcohol. This works great dries quickly and doesn’t leave that buildup you see with regular fabric softener!

    This is a great idea! I am definitely going to try it out. Febreze is expensive and alot of deodorizer sprays make me sick. This sounds like a better option.

      I have never heard of this before so am going to try it when I get back from my 4th of July vacation and I sure hope it works.
