Do you hate the unpleasant smell of garbage in your home? Fear not, as we have an effective solution for you! In this blog post, we will guide you through the simple process of making your own fragrances to eliminate odors. No more expensive store-bought air fresheners or harsh chemical-laden products. Let's get started!
Ingredients and Supplies:
- Essential oils (lemon, orange, peppermint, tea tree, etc.)
- Distilled water
- A small spray bottle
- A funnel (optional)
- Small glass bowls or cups
- Toothpicks or craft sticks
Step 1: Choose Your Favorite Fragrances
Select a combination of essential oils that appeals to you. Popular choices include lemon, orange, peppermint, and tea tree oil for their strong, pleasant scents. The more drops you add, the stronger the fragrance will be.
Step 2: Prepare Your Spray Bottle
- Empty the spray bottle.
- Fill it ¾ with distilled water using a funnel (optional).
- Set aside for later use.
Step 3: Blend Your Essential Oils
Using small glass bowls or cups, blend your chosen essential oils in equal parts to create your custom fragrance blend. For example, if you want a lemon-orange scent, mix an equal amount of drops of both essential oils.
Step 4: Test Your Blend
Apply one drop of each essential oil from your blend onto a toothpick or craft stick and smell it to ensure that you like the combination. Adjust the ratio of essential oils if necessary.
Step 5: Add Essential Oils to Spray Bottle
Once you are happy with your fragrance blend, add the essential oils drops one at a time into the spray bottle using a toothpick or craft stick. A general rule is to start with around 10-15 drops of essential oils per ounce of water.
Step 6: Top Off With Distilled Water
Slowly add distilled water to your spray bottle until it is full, leaving some room at the top for shaking. Be sure not to spill as you top off the bottle!
Step 7: Shake Well
Gently shake the spray bottle to blend in the essential oils and create a consistent fragrance throughout the room.
Your homemade air freshener is now ready to use! Use it daily or whenever needed to eliminate odors and fill your home with the delightful scent of your favorite fragrances. Enjoy the cost savings and satisfaction that comes from creating your own DIY project!
