I like using the commercial fabric refresher products but I don’t like paying the sticker price. If I have a good coupon deal I’ll stock up but it doesn’t seem to happen very often. I tried making my own and it works really well. It’s a lot less expensive and you have some control over the scent.
What You Need:
- One clean empty spray bottle
- Fabric softener of your choice
- baking soda
- water
Add one dose/capful of fabric softener to the empty spray bottle. (The same amount you would put in your washer). Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Fill the bottle the rest of the way with warm water. Replace spray cap and shake. You’re ready to go.
If you prefer, you could add a teaspoon of your favorite essential oil to the spray bottle instead of fabric softener. The scent won’t be as potent but might make a better choice for those that prefer lighter scents.
