Easy Fabreezy

I'm on a roll here.  I checked my Pinterest board entitled "Cleaning" and found yet another homemade solution I wanted to try.  Homemade Fabreeze.  ( See Original post here: Homemade Fabreeze ) I always WANT to have Fabreeze in the house, especially with 2 teenage boys, 2 cats and a dog in a small house.  But, it always seemed like there was never enough money to get it and keep it in the house.  After all, it's not a necessity, and at this point in this economy, we have to choose what we splurge on. 

In comes the experiment, I'm calling it Easy Fabreezy.

This is SO easy to make and VERY inexpensive!

2 TBS. Fabric softener (I used Downy April Fresh because that's what I had on hand)
2 TBS. Baking Soda
Hot Tap Water

Just use a funnel and put the baking soda in, then the fabric softener.  Add hot tap water (to dissolve baking soda) to fill the bottle.  I used a SHOUT bottle because I didn't have a Fabreeze bottle to use.  I shook the bottle a bit to mix, then just spray whatever you want to spray.

I decided the cover to the old dog bed was a good victim, even after being washed yesterday, it still had old, stale, dog smell.  So I sprayed it, then sprayed all the carpets in the house, the couch and some old pillows....well...you know, I have to play with my new "toy".  LOL!   

The old dog bed cover.....well, it smells better after a couple of applications, but still not great, it might be hopeless.  But everything else I sprayed....mmmmm!  It smells so good in my house!  Obviously I can't show a picture of results, you'll just have to try it for yourself.  But in my opinion, this was also a good experiment and something I will probably continue to make.
