How to Make a DIY Room Spray That Actually Works With Just 3 Ingredients
When your home isn’t radiating that fresh, inviting aroma you crave, the typical instinct is to grab a store-bought air freshener maybe a can of Febreze or an AirWick plug-in. Sure, they do the trick temporarily. But they’re neither bulletproof nor budget-friendly. Continuously restocking them eats away at your wallet faster than you think.
There’s a better alternative effortless and incredibly effective. Craft your own aromatic spray right at home and banish those unpleasant, lingering smells for good.
This homemade spray carries a scent reminiscent of Febreze, yet skips the fabric softener entirely. The magic lies in the use of Downy Unstoppables tiny fragrance powerhouses available in an array of captivating aromas. Pick the one that speaks to your senses and make it uniquely yours.
