    Default Homemade Air Freshener Spray

    Vanilla and Cloves air freshener spray. It looks easy to make.

    http://tipnut.com/vanilla-air-freshener/

    I've been looking around the site, and there are so many good ideas.

    Thanks for sharing this! The recipe looks super easy and super natural, and I love that! I bookmarked the site, I'm looking forward to poking around on it when I have more time to see what else is there!

    You know what scents I love together, especially when I need a calm pick me up while cleaning... Peppermint and Lavender. So yummy together. It's a calm energizer.

    My question.....since it has cloves and vanilla, it's colored, not clear. Will it stain when you spray it and it settles on your floors/furniture???

    OMG!!! The smelly jelly jar recipe is exactly what I've been looking for!!!

    I had one maybe 10 years ago that I bought at The Body shop and LOVED it... but instead of punching holes in the lid, I'm going to use a piece of lace... okay, you got me... I'm going to use an old fishnet stocking, make the jelly hot pink and paint the metal rim black... and I'm going to keep it in the cup holder in my car... keep your fingers cross that I actually complete this project...

    1 million thanks!!

    I can't tell you how happy I was to see this. My hubby has asthma and most commercial sprays bother him. This is all natural so I think it should be fine. I bookmarked it also. Oh, and I have a eucalyptus in my yard. Maybe I'll make that one 1st

    I would say yes i could stain! and I would be careful using over carpet areas or fabric furniture, if you are spraying it.

    Thanks for sharing! I usually use lavender EO, a little vinegar and water. I like the smell of lavender, but I would like to have another scent.
