It seems that every other week, I have some sort of a deodorizing product on my shopping list. Febreze, Glade, air fresheners, candles, wax melts, etc. Now, I know what you are thinking. Is your family really that stinky???
Here is my answer. I have four children, two dogs, a cat, and an obsession with yummy smells. Even though I love buying these products, the frugal side of me cringes at some of the prices. For that reason, I have created my DIY Homemade Febreze. At just $0.15 per bottle (That is not a typo!!!), I will never go back to buying this product from a store. In comparison to WalMarts 27-ounce bottle for $4.99, the answer is clear.
Looking beyond the price, you may be wondering if this creation is as effective as the name-brand item. Lets just say since I started using it, I have had WAY more people compliment me on how fresh and awesome my house smells than I ever did with store-bought Febreze. With just four cost-effective ingredients, you will be absolutely amazed at how satisfied you will be with this DIY Homemade Febreze.

Can You DIY Febreze?
So as savings enthusiasts, we’re fans of homemade Febreze. By DIY-ing it, you can enjoy all the benefits at a fraction of the price. Source out a spray bottle (available at Amazon) with a capacity of 16 ounces or greater. We like glass bottles, but virtually any empty plastic bottle with a spray top will work.

All you need to do is mix together 2 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol (found at your local dollar store, drugstore or grocery store) with 2 tablespoons of Purex crystals. Top the bottle with hot water from your tap, seal the lid, and shake vigorously to blend everything together.
