1. Prepare the Base
Begin your homemade febreze recipe by placing 1.5 cups of boiling water into a clean and empty spray bottle.
2. Add Rubbing Alcohol
Next, add ½ cup of rubbing alcohol to the water. This addition serves the purpose of helping the spray evaporate quickly, preventing items from staying damp.
3. Incorporate Unstopables
Now, add 2-3 tablespoons of Downy Unstopables to the mixture.
These little beads are the secret to the fantastic, long-lasting scent.
4. Let It Sit Overnight
Decant the mixture into a clean spray bottle and allow it to sit overnight, allowing the Unstopables beads to dissolve completely.
5. Shake and Spray
Give the bottle a good shake to mix the ingredients thoroughly. Now, it's time to spray your homemade fabric refresher everywhere – curtains, bedding, furniture. Your entire house will soon be enveloped in a delightful aroma.
I like to decant the mixture into smaller spray bottles (wash out and reuse old room spray bottles). Now you can
Place these smaller bottles in all the rooms of your home for a quick and easy refresh.
