DIY Air Freshener

Cleaning

When we ran out of bathroom spray, I decided that I really didn’t want to replace it with the usual cocktail of chemicals found in many odour eliminating sprays.

So I turned to Pinterest and found a recipe for an air freshener made from 2 ingredients: baking soda and essential oils. I have a small mason jar that for some reason doesn’t have the lid insert, and I have no idea where it would be! So I used that and the cardstock became the lid.

The recipe is this: 1/4 cup baking soda and 6 drops of your favourite essential oil. That’s it. Pop it into a mason jar and poke holes in the lid. Give it a shake and voila, air freshener. A little tip is, when you shake, cover the lid with your hands so baking soda doesn’t fly everywhere!

I got the recipe from a pin that links to purasentials.com but their last blog post was from 2016 so I’m not sure it’s being kept up!

Here are the steps:

Grab your small mason jar, a piece of cardstock and a pencil.
Turn the jar upside down, without the lid ring on it, and trace onto your cardstock.
Cut out your circle. My hands shake so it’s kinda janky.
Poke holes in the cardstock. I used a large needle.
Add 1/4 cup of baking soda and 6-10 drops of your essential oil.
Put your cardstock circle with the holes poked in it into the lid ring, screw it on to the jar and give it a shake!

Now you’re all set. Remember to keep a hand over the top of the lid when you shake it!
