When I was a young kid, in school we made little air fresheners for our moms for Holidays. We used cloves in an apple and orange and decorated it with ribbon to hang, and fancy stick pins. I was so proud to give to my mom. I can still smell it today, and I’m 64. Mmmmmmmm..........
If you’ve ever bought those air fresheners that have the gel beads inside, after they’ve dried up, empty out the container, clean them up and reuse them. Since they already have the lids cut out, They’re great for this idea. I also used one to hold baking soda and put it in my fridge. It looks nicer than having just an open box of baking soda sitting in there. Thanks for sharing your wisdom! Much appreciated!
Thank you so much! As soon as she said fabric softener I thought; no. Now, I'm not familiar with these bead products, who makes them? Also, about how much dried lavender and where do you buy that? Actually - if you don't mind - can I just have your recipe with measurements? ☺
I love cloves. As a child, at Christmas time my mother and I would poke cloves into oranges or clementines and set them by the fireplace and in the kitchen. I’m having a big birthday party this weekend for my daughter so it’s the perfect time to make this to keep the loo smelling fresh. Thanks for sharing!
I would use all the ingredients mentioned except the fabric softener which I never use...I prefer to use Mint Oil Essential Oil in some oil from the kitchen to mix it into a moist mixture...Thank you for this idea for clean fresh air in the home
I agree about Fab Soft, never use on towels or any fabric that needs to absorbent because the Fab Soft leaves a coating which will build.. I do use it sometimes for clothes but have a well watered down version I mix myself. Its so not good for the water quality or the seas.. Those dreadful plastic scented "balls" also. Fish are being poisoned! I have pets & never forget their sense of smell is hundred of times more sensitive than ours. I think if thongs are kept clean & fairly uncluttered a home does not need to be "perfumed" all the time as Melissa mentioned.
I think this is a great idea. Salt is good on many levels and I absolutely love the smell of cloves and orange essential oil. Thank you so much for sharing
Many people are allergic to fabric softener, even unscented. I have asthma and breathing the chemical in fabric softener (and most cleaning products) triggers attacks. Many of us who suffer from chemical triggered asthma can’t even go near the cleaning and laundry isles in the grocery store. I suggest using real lavender, even essential oils would be a good alternative. Will be trying this with the essential oil. Thanks for posting and love how pretty this looks. Looking forward to more of your videos.
I'm so glad to hear someone else can't enter laundry soap aisle in a grocery store. I hold my breath and walk in to get out with the unscented stuff i need, and get out quick.
You also could use a nail and hammer to make holes in the jar lid with the lid off the jar. I would be afraid of ruining and dulling my knife. After making holes from the top down, turn the lid upside down on a hard, flat surface with a piece of cloth under it (so the lid won’t get scratched) and use the hammer to flatten the sharp edges of the holes punched by the nail and hammer.
I've a bottle opener, you know the sort? for beer bottles ect. The other side of it has a triangle point that is used to pierce jars/tins. That works well. We used to use it to open the carnation milk for poring.
A hammer and nail would be safer to puncture the lid. Take it off the jar and put the lid on a piece of wood before hammering. I love this idea with the cloves and orange! Thank you for sharing!
Spice jars, like cinnamon, have a shaker top, grated Parmesan, wash and save container. Diatomaceous earth, will absorb the essential oil, takes a long time to dry out, just re-moisten and keep going. Cloves are excellent to repel wasps, save the little bags that garlic comes in, fill to make a sac of cloves to be used for a nice scent or baseboards to repel insects and rodents. Doesn’t seem to work long term to keep dog walkers away, though.
We have soaked synthetic wigs in fabric softener to soften them and the whole room smells amazing for the 1-2 days. I’ve been looking for another way to use fabric softener to make a room smell good, I am so glad I came across this video to give it a try! Thank you!
This seems good :) but just make sure to swap out any citrus smells! Most dogs and cats hate that smell! (That's why it's used to deter them in gardens xD)
Try scooping the boxes twice a day. Once a week, dump out the litter- all of it- and wash the pans with soap, water and after drying add baking soda before litter. Yes u will use more litter, but that is the price u should be willing to pay for being a responsible pet parent.
Did you say it is a repellant for insects and BATS from her household? Where I live, we don't hear about Bats in homes but that's the beauty of UA-cam! It connects us with our wonderful brothers and sisters from all around the world! Thank you for this video! One thing we share in common is BUGS! Spiders, Centipedes, as well as flying bugs, especially during the summer months. And who doesn't like an amazingly good-smelling house?! So I WILL be trying the "secret" shared here and I thank Realistic Suwey for sharing her knowledge on how to make this homemade air freshener with common household items I already have here in my home!
I've had a bat flying around in my home 3 years in a row. Having researched a little since then, I learned they can squeeze into the tiniest openings. I'm on the 3rd floor outside a tree they hang out in, though I haven't seen them in a while. The thing is, they're beneficial, so I refuse to try to get rid of them (except from my condo!😁). And they're always desperate to get back out.
Fabric softeners have un-named “perfumes” that are actually toxic chemicals - “perfume” can be made from these toxic chemicals. A lot of things around the home have this “perfume” - shampoo, detergent etc. I have gotten rid of all these and use only natural products.
Love homemade products, as I seem to be sensitive to most chemicals. Several years ago, I found small containers that already had cut outs, like those used in restaurants for Parmesan or Red Pepper Flakes. Thanks for sharing.
I would use a soldering iron for making the holes, and I would mix all the ingredients in a disposable bowl then add to the jar. I'm going to try this.
Thank you for sharing this lovely idea. Would it not have been easier to make the mixture in a dish which is would make stirring less difficult. Then you can transfer to mixture to your chosen container. To get the correct amount of salt for your container, just put the salt in first them pour it into the mixing dish. Add the other ingredients and stir well. Transfer mixture to your chosen decorative diffuser.
Fabric softener has toxic scents and toxins you really do not want to have as they cause illness. A good substitute for softeners could be essential oils as they are not toxic, other than that I like this video. God bless you & your viewers.
I’m reviewing the comments. You are still replying to questions that have already have been answered, & this video was made a over a year ago. I am amazed & inspired by your patience.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have 2 German Shepherds and when it comes to winter my house smells like wet dog as they are inside dogs. It's when they go to the dog park they stink 🙄 I'm going to make these for every room in the house. The only bit I don't like are tbe cloves as I don't like the smell of them or cinnamon or aniseed etc.

Wipe all surfaces over with a combination of hot water and white vinegar, should help to reduce the smell. The vinegar evaporates as long as you have good ventilation. It can also help to reduce the impact on people with allergies.
@@dotcassilles1488 Open plates of apple cider vinegar, works within hours.

Comments please from someone who has used this great recipe. Up to you whether you use conditioner,but it would be great to know how long and how effective this recipe in its entirety actually is! Anyone?
I use coconut oil with lavender oil, it is an amazing mosquito repellant. I use it on my grandchild at bedtime. Better than spraying the room with insecticide.
Excellent coverage. This also gave me the idea of putting one in my car especially since I smoke cigars. Question..how long does it last before it’s time to replace it, also can you make several at one time but have a closed lid for future use?
It great 👍 idea but is best to make it in small batches to have it effective all the time. please add some sodium bicarbonate to it so that the liquid doesn't settle at the bottom
@@lynnedarling1135 there are plenty of options, depending on what you want. If you want to smell like a cheap trick, there's better ways to do it than swaddling yourself with toxins. If static is an issue, baking soda in the wash works well.

Great recipe except for the fabric softener . I’m allergic to all those awful laundry detergent odours so as others have suggested.. I’ll definitely be using essential oils only
Wsalaam sister , thank you for sharing your ideas. I would just say that I only use natural products,, and no synthetic fragrance oils or fabric conditioners . So I will add drops of essential oils to the salt instead. Thanks
That’s what I’d like to know? I guess you could just keep adding fabric softener and cloves as it gets weaker? Idk…so I guess I’ll make it and find out. One thing…I don’t care wasting salt for this. I wonder if anything else could be used? Idk…
Hi lovelies 💓 💖 please do mix a bit of sodium bicarbonate with the salt for more deodorising effect, based on my experimentations sodium bicarbonate deodorises more effectively. And to when you can change it, please use your sense of smell. Thank you 😊 💓
Okay I feel silly. I’ve wasted a lot of money and I don’t like spending lots of money when I could have made it myself. Wow! Thank you. I’ve subscribed.
LOL they never said it was an all natural fresheners. Just home made. If you don't want to use something fine. Leave a suggestion or ask a question don't tell people what they should use or not use. I would suggest that if your doing this for animal smells be careful as some smells react badly for them.
You had me until "fabric softener". The point of making a natural room freshener would be to get away from the toxic chemicals... including fabric softener! That pretty much negates any goodness you are getting from the salt and essential oil. Definitely will find an alternative.
And I'll just skimming through some of the comments here, some people are just suggesting use different essential oils. That makes quite a bit of sense.
I was thinking of trying this with Mrs. Meyer's lavender softener. I can't do any of those toxic dyes or scents but I like the Mrs. Meyers brand from target. It doesn't make me have any negative reactions like the mainstream toxic stuff
I don’t have fabric softener nor essential oils. But I do have citrus in the kitchen available. Would that work the same? Any ideas from others? Thanks for sharing this!! Appreciated!

Can I replace the fabric softener for essential oils, as fabric softener have man made chemicals? I have been diagnosed with chemical sensitivity and have to make my own cleaners and soaps, etc.
Bewere of using pure essential oils in your machine as you will get a very hard to remove, sticky, oily build up.And direct application of essential oils can still cause sensitivity. Dab them onto handkerchiefs or on drawer liners, to scent your clothes in cupboards and wardrobes.
Great 👍 awesome idea 💡 but surprising me really when I read comments fabric softeners being hazardous and toxic to the environment then why is it made for the laundry which ends up on our skin 😀 🤔

Hi what's your recipe for a hot toddy is that what you call it ? With winter around the corner, it may come in handy 😉
Use dried lavender instead of fabric softener to avoid the chemicals! Works great!
Thx!! I was thinking the softener would be more chemicals than I would want to have lingering.
Absolutely I was thinking the same thing no way you’re gonna do all this “healthy” DIY and then put chemicals in there
yep
exactly
Put a couple drops of lavender essential oil on dryer balls.
All these comments are nonsense!.ladies remember fabric softener is made to use on our clothes and so the fresh scents must be safe for us.

That’s what I’d like to know? I guess you could just keep adding fabric softener and cloves as it gets weaker? Idk…so I guess I’ll make it and find out. One thing…I don’t care wasting salt for this. I wonder if anything else could be used? Idk…
Hi lovelies 💓 💖 please do mix a bit of sodium bicarbonate with the salt for more deodorising effect, based on my experimentations sodium bicarbonate deodorises more effectively. And to when you can change it, please use your sense of smell. Thank you 😊 💓
@@RealisticSuwey Ah..thank you! I’m going to try making this this week.
Okay I feel silly. I’ve wasted a lot of money and I don’t like spending lots of money when I could have made it myself. Wow! Thank you. I’ve subscribed.
Great 👍 thanks so much 🙏
Why fabric softener?? Isnt that toxic?
Love this. Sandra as Grace
Wahoo that's so lovely, thank you for the knowledge shared 😍
LOL they never said it was an all natural fresheners. Just home made. If you don't want to use something fine. Leave a suggestion or ask a question don't tell people what they should use or not use. I would suggest that if your doing this for animal smells be careful as some smells react badly for them.
Thank you so much Jade 💓 I appreciate this
It would be nice with a thin ribbon tied around the bottom of the lid and tied in a bow ! Thank you for your wonderful idea 😊
Amazing imagination gives me a very beautiful pot of natural deodoriser, thank you for the beautiful idea 💡
If you run a woven natural ribbon through the air vents it would wick the aromatic essence.
Just need to cloves and I'm trying this one.
Hide it behind a plant or picture
A clean home does not stink. Wash feet daily.
Great 👍 tip thanks for sharing
This only last 2-3 weeks. After 3 weeks you literally have to be within 2 feet of this jar to smell anything at all
When that happens you add more essential oil and stir it up
Great video❤ I’m always looking for DIY aromatics that are budget friendly and recycling glass containers 💜
You had me until "fabric softener". The point of making a natural room freshener would be to get away from the toxic chemicals... including fabric softener! That pretty much negates any goodness you are getting from the salt and essential oil.
Definitely will find an alternative.
I was thinking the exact same thing! Guess I'll have to find a recipe for fabric softener using essential oils.
And I'll just skimming through some of the comments here, some people are just suggesting use different essential oils. That makes quite a bit of sense.
@@alip.6737 use distilled white vinegar for fabric softener.
@@feliciagaffney1998 Thanks!! :)
I was thinking of trying this with Mrs. Meyer's lavender softener. I can't do any of those toxic dyes or scents but I like the Mrs. Meyers brand from target. It doesn't make me have any negative reactions like the mainstream toxic stuff

Thanks for watching 😍😍
@@RealisticSuwey Gifts shine bright ☀️ 🙏
I don’t have fabric softener nor essential oils. But I do have citrus in the kitchen available. Would that work the same? Any ideas from others? Thanks for sharing this!! Appreciated!
Yes it will and please try to add some sodium bicarbonate to the salt to make it more effective 😊 thank you
I can’t wait to try this! I love lenor.. spring awakening.wondering which essential oil will work with this... thanks for this!
Can I use Epsom salts instead of rock salt?
I’m sure you can! The scented foot soaks use Epsom Salt. I will try it myself and will save my sea salt 😉
I bet water soften er salt would work, too.
Puan, bagus. Simple and easy to do. Lots of people will benefit from your video.
Thank you so much dear I appreciate your support
Thank you so much for sharing your Fragrant recipe here on yt. I am going to make this tomorrow.

Thank you so much dear 😘 I hope you like it here 😘 😊 💖
@@RealisticSuwey Yes I do ! soft hugs ~ xo
This is a great idea but I think I would mix it in a bowl and then put it into the jar.
I agree 👍 💯
I came across your video this morning and I made the air freshener this morning and it smells amazing thank you.❤❤❤❤
So good to hear,am glad you like it 😊.
How long did it last?
WOW!!! I can’t wait to try this✅. THANK YOU SO MUCH!🥰🙏🙏🙏
How often do you have to make this up so that it is effective?
Funny how others do so many suggestions.. but have yet to discover their utube
I heard baking soda instead of rock salt can be used? Also how long should you keep until you need to discard and replace? TY
Tried this with a lot of hope. Works well if you are in a small sealed box with it... otherwise it doesnt work at all for me.
Awww, so sorry about that 😞 dear
I just found your channel and I just wanted to say thank you💗 I hope you and your family are doing great and to ask please make more videos👏🏼
Thank you so much dear 😘 we are all doing fine, hope you are too.
What a wonderful tip. I'm going to try this, it sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing.
You welcome dear 😘 hope you like it 😊
Can I replace the fabric softener for essential oils, as fabric softener have man made chemicals? I have been diagnosed with chemical sensitivity and have to make my own cleaners and soaps, etc.
I was thinking of using a hydrosol instead. I don't use fabric softeners.
Bewere of using pure essential oils in your machine as you will get a very hard to remove, sticky, oily build up.And direct application of essential oils can still cause sensitivity. Dab them onto handkerchiefs or on drawer liners, to scent your clothes in cupboards and wardrobes.
Yes you can 🥰🥰🥰
If that works for you then do it 🥰🥰
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Thank you for your wonderful tips...more power God bless..from the Phillipines olopsville Aries of San Mateo Rizal .
You welcome 🙏 🤗 😘
Walaikum assalam amazing video sis
Thank you so much 💓 💗 💛
I use fabric softener to wipe the kitchen top and furnitures to get that nice fresh smell in the house 😂
Great 👍 awesome idea 💡 but surprising me really when I read comments fabric softeners being hazardous and toxic to the environment then why is it made for the laundry which ends up on our skin 😀 🤔
@@RealisticSuwey
So true 🤔
I absolutely LOVE your accent!!
Your ideas are delicious to my Senses with no artificial chemicals. Thank you 🙂
If you consider the 15% Cationic Surfactants, 5% Perfume, and Benzyl Salicylate in the fabric softener chemical free, then sure! 😂
Do not use the fabric softener to make that for your home it's toxic. The other ingredients are natural and not toxic to breathe.
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Fabric softener and fragrance is toxic and an endocrine disrupter (not essential oils tho) . In other words, it affects your hormones negatively
Mayhaps, but they. Smell. So. Good. ;)
True 👍
Very clear and a great idea !
Ooooh dear
Amazing 😻

Could I use Epson salt in place of sea salt?
At Odd Lots/Big Lots you can buy lavender sea salt.
Can I use lemon salt instead of rock sea salt? Does it have to be rock sea salt? Many thx for any reply …..
Why not..! It doesn't have to be rock sea salt dear, but it is cheaper compared to others. You welcome 🙏
I just stood immediately and mix, wonderful tx❤️❤️👌🏾👌🏾💯
