Make Homemade "Febreze"

Get out the funk with Instructabler killhannahfreak2's homemade Febreze recipe. Here's what you'll need to whip up a batch:    

• an empty spray bottle
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of fabric softener

The how-to is pretty self-explanatory, but a link is always welcomed. 

Commenter nikholemarie offered up her recipe as well. Here it is:

• 1/2 cup laundry detergent
• 1/4 cup, 3% hydrogen peroxide
• 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
• 2 cups of water

She assures us they won't bleach out the fabrics onto which we spray it. 

If these two recipes don't strike your fancy, here's four more from TipNut:

Recipe #1

1 cup fabric softener
1 cup white vinegar
2 cups water

Recipe #2

2 cups water
1 cup fabric softener

Recipe #3

3 cups water
3 TBS fabric softener
3 TBS rubbing alcohol

Recipe #4

2 cups water (warm)
1/4 cup fabric softener
1 TBS baking soda

If you want to skip the fabric softener and detergent, how about this one?

• 50% inexpensive Vodka
• 50% water

Funny how the one with booze seems like the most 'natural' of all of these.
