DIY Cinnamon Air Freshener

DIY Cinnamon Air Freshener Ingredients:

• 3 cups Hot Water
• 6 Cinnamon Sticks
• 1 tbsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 2 tsp. Whole Cloves
• 1 small Orange, sliced

Frugal Tip: If you’d like to make this often, save BIG when you buy Cinnamon Sticks in Bulk and Whole Cloves in Bulk!

Stovetop Cinnamon Air Freshener Instructions: {best for larger rooms}

1. Add all ingredients to 2 – 3 quart sauce pan, stir, place on stove, bring to a gentle boil, then immediately turn heat down and allow to simmer on LOW.
2. The scent will gradually start drifting through you home.
3. Add additional hot water as necessary to keep the air freshener going all day.  {I usually add more water every 1.5 – 2 hours or so… just make sure you don’t run out of water}

Frugal tip: You can even save the ingredients and use them again the next day!  At the end of the day, just transfer to a large mason jar with some water and place in the refrigerator.  Then the next day, pour back into your sauce pan, add water to get the level back up to 3 cups, and simmer away!

Crockpot Cinnamon Air Freshener Instructions:

Note: If using a mini crockpot, you’ll want to have the crockpot close by to where you’ll be.  If you need a stronger scent for larger rooms, I suggest the stovetop version.

1. Add all ingredients to 2 quart Mini Crockpot, Stir, and Cover with lid.
2. Cook on HIGH for 1 hour
3. After 1 hour, remove lid and let simmer on HIGH for hours of yummy air freshening!

Mindy writes: “Love this natural air freshener!”

Christy writes: “Mama always used cinnamon and oranges simmering on the stove – better than any candle or artificial fragrance ever!”

Angela writes: “I LOVE this combination!  All natural, inexpensive, and delicious smelling!”

Gloria writes: “My father used to do this when I was growing up! It also helps to add moisture to the air which can keep your house warm without having to crank up the heater in the winter.”

Kimberley writes: “Great mixture of aromas!”

Rhonda writes: “The simmering cinnamon is awesome!! I use it on the stove in a pot and let it simmer for a couple hours. The scent lasts for a few days, and I have animals. Only downside is when the hubby comes home from work and thinks that I have baked a pie.” 🙂

Tiffany writes: “Perfect idea to do before company!”

Maria writes: “It’s also a great secret before open houses and real estate showings when you are selling your house.”

Guyann writes: “I do this too but I add fresh cranberries. Pretty and smells wonderful!”

Christy writes: “For an air freshener, I always use Cinnamon and Cloves in a pot of water on the stove to simmer.  The problem was… I’d get busy and forget to add water to it after awhile.  Solved that problem.  My son bought me a little crock pot, like a 2 quart.  Too small for a meal for 4, so I use it for my cinnamon and clove mixture.  I don’t have to worry about it for several hours and it smells great.  Sometimes I add pumpkin pie spice to it, too!”

Now if you don’t have any Pumpkin Pie Spice on hand, don’t worry.  You can make your own… it’s so EASY!
