Homemade Air Freshener

     I like the house to smell nice but I don't like buying the sprays because they cost so darned much.  I came up with a way to make some air freshener for the house that smells so much better than most and not only makes a lot, but the scent lasts a lot longer too. 
 
 



       All you need is 2 items to make it.  Gain Fireworks in-wash scent booster and a glass spray bottle.

     You can find the Gain Fireworks in the laundry aisle of about any store.  

      Place 1 tablespoon of the Gain beads into your spray bottle.

     Now, using a funnel, pour the crystals/beads into the spray bottle.

    Now add really warm water and fill up the bottle but leave about a 1/2" head space.  Now put the spray nozzle on and shake well.  It is now ready to use.

      I shake it before each use and just go around my house spraying it.  It is nice smelling and long lasting.  The Gain scent booster costs between $4-$6 a container and it will last about 6 months.  I use this spray twice a day to freshen each of my rooms and it lasts and lasts.  For the price value alone, it is definitely worth making.

  1. This is my 11 yr old son's new favorite scent for his room. His old favorite had been vanilla & he never really liked different things or scents.

  3. Why a glass spray bottle? Can I use plastic?

    1. Yes, you can use a plastic bottle. I used glass because smells tend to leech into the plastic bottle and if you change scents you have that problem. Thanks!
