Hints from Heloise - Homemade Air Freshener

By Hklbrries

Dear Readers: Many folks buy the commercial AIR FRESHENERS, but they can be pricey. To save money, here is an easy Heloise Hints way that you can make air fresheners at home for just a few cents.

-

All you need is some essential oil (you can use whichever you like, such as peppermint, lavender, orange, lemon, eucalyptus and bergamot). These essential oils can be found at many large grocery chains or drugstores. They may seem to cost a bit, but a small bottle will last a long, long time.

-

All you do is put several drops of the oil on some cotton balls. Then put the cotton balls in a glass, ceramic or metal container. Set these around the room you want to freshen, and the fragrance will be wonderful. They must be placed high enough and out of the way so that children or pets cannot get to them. -- Heloise

P.S.: My favorites are essential oil of lavender, which is calming and relaxing, and essential oil of orange, which can be uplifting and invigorating, and adds a fresh citrus fragrance to the room.
