Freshening the Air

I made a simple, quick air freshener... literally, it took about 1 minute to make. I bought some little aluminum spray bottles online to keep the air fresheners in. I made one for the bathroom and another for the rest of the house. Here are the 'recipes':

Bathroom Spray:

Equal parts vodka & water - my bottles are only 4 oz. so I used 2 oz. of vodka & 2 oz. of water

10 drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil

5 drops Lavender Essential Oil

Kitchen / Living Room Spray:

2 oz. vodka

2 oz. water

15 drops Citronella Essential Oil

I know what you're thinking.... but the Citronella Oil smells like Murphy's Oil Soap, not bug repellant so each time you spray it, it smells like you just got done dusting! Well, it will smell that way to you if you grew up in a house that cleaned with Murphy's Oil Soap, like we did in our house.

The best part is that they are light and the fragrance stays in the air for quite a while. Not to mention, they are not toxic to our dogs (#1 most important reason for us to switch to no chemicals in the house).

These recipes can be modified to use whatever scents you like in your home. I'm going online to amazon to buy some 'wintery' scents to make for the holidays!

Enjoy!!
