    Default Homemade Frebreze recipe

    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.

    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.
