Easy! Homemade Fabric Refresher Recipe

 Homemade Fabric Refresher Recipe

Fabric Refresher, what a luxury?😍 If you have teens and pets like me, you really rely on and appreciate fabric refreshers. Febreze and other commercially produced fabric refresher sprays are always available at your local department stores, but some may be too strong or not scented enough. Others are too perfumey and not aren't long-lasting. Some are harmful to your pets, your allergies, and your sinuses. 

Want to breathe easy and save a little money in the process? We can minimize the amount of money we spend and the amount of plastic waste our households are producing by eliminating the store-bought refresher. Making your own fabric refresher is super quick and easy! 

The Breakdown

 Spray Bottle- Plastic spray bottles are o.k., but glass bottles are environmentally better. With plastic bottles, you really have to clean them out or previous residues could remain in the bottle if you decide to use your bottle for something else. Some oils, esp. essential oils can get embedded in plastic bottles and it's hard to get the scents out even with warm to hot water. 

10-20 drops of lavender oil. This is optional but I use lavender in all my fabric refresher sprays because of its many benefits including being antibacterial, and antimicrobial. Lavender has been known to kill certain types of germs and bacteria. Lavender also smells great and has calming, relaxing, and soothing aromatherapeutic properties.

10-20 drops of your favorite fragrance oil or essential oil. I like to use fragrance oils such as Baby Powder, Linen, or Linen Fresh because these are light scents, smell clean to me, and are easy on my allergies. Plus, these simple scents are gender-neutral. 

Orange essential oil with tea tree oil is also a great aromatherapeutic combination to lighten your mood and boost energy. Tea tree oil is antibacterial and antimicrobial as well. 

1 tbsp baking soda. Baking soda is odor neutralizing

Fill the rest of your bottle with distilled water and slowly invert to mix.

Remember: Set your spray bottle to mist!
