With this simple mixture, you’ll make your home smell so good, your neighbors will get jealous. Here’s how

1. Combine the ingredients

• Pour the fabric softener into a spray bottle.

• Add the baking soda (a natural odor absorber).

• Fill the bottle with warm water.

• Shake well to mix thoroughly.

2. Freshen up your home

• Lightly mist around fabrics such as curtains, sofas, and carpets.

• For a longer-lasting fragrance, spritz air conditioning filters or place small bowls of the mixture in different rooms.

3. Use with care

• Avoid spraying directly on wooden surfaces or floors, as the fabric softener can make them slippery.

Pro Tip

For a seasonal twist, swap the fabric softener with a few drops of essential oils (like lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus) for a natural fragrance blend tailored to your mood.
