Homemade Frebreze recipe

**Mom23boys** · 03-19-2005, 08:13 PM

Ingredients include:

~2 cups Downy fabric softener
~2 cups baking soda
~4 cups hot water

Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water; allow to cool completely. Add fabric softener and mix well. Pour into a spray bottle. Spray fabric evenly until slightly damp. Odors will fade as item dries. Use more generously for difficult odors. On fabrics that may water spot (such as silk), test a small area of the fabric that cannot be seen.

Wow--this could save a ton of money! Where did you find this or is it a recipe you worked up yourself?

Thanks. I bet this would help remove pet hair too.

I have seen a similar recipe before but haven't tried it yet. Has anyone tried it?

I have been using a mixture of bicarb and water for a little while now and it is really good, even with pet and smoky smells - I gave up using fabric conditioner last year so don't have any fragrance in mine.
