The secret behind a home that smells great lies in a homemade spray similar to the popular Febreze brand, but much cheaper and with a delectable scent. And what is the magic ingredient that makes your home smell so enticing? It’s the famous Downy Unstopables, those little beads you normally throw into your washing machine to give your clothes a wonderful scent. They come in different fragrance varieties, so you can alternate and enjoy a new scent experience every time.
Let’s take a look at the simple steps you can follow to make your own scented spray. To start, you will need a mason jar (weck jar) with a lid, a hammer, a fork, a screwdriver, baking soda and some essential oil of your choice. Take a quarter cup of Downy Unstopables grains, add four tablespoons of baking soda and then pour one cup of boiling water over it. Stir the mixture well and let it stand for at least 30 minutes so that all the grains dissolve completely and release their fragrance.
Once the waiting time is over, you can use a funnel to pour the fragrant mixture into an empty spray bottle. Now you’re ready to use your homemade air freshener anywhere in your home! It’s perfect for freshening up curtains, rugs, couches, blankets and more. Best of all, there’s no messy residue left behind after spraying, just a wonderful, long-lasting scent that will embrace you.
