Just a side note, hubby and I moved from Iowa to Texas in 2000 and one of the things I do miss is a true season changes ...I love being able to have my windows open even in the dead of winter to get fresh air in the house. <br />
<br />
So today's recipes are my way of freshening up the house without a lot of commercial sprays. <br />
<br />
<strong><em>Spray Vanilla and Cloves Air Freshener Spray</em></strong> <br />
Ingredients<br />
<br />
1 cup water<br />
1 cup household vinegar<br />
1 TBS vanilla extract<br />
1 tsp cloves<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
Bring all ingredients to a boil then simmer over medium heat for two minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. <br />
Strain cloves then pour liquid into spray bottle, shake and use as needed. <br />
Note: You can increase/decrease the vanilla & cloves amounts to your preference.<br />
<br />
<strong>Lemon Air Freshener Spray</strong><br />
Ingredients<br />
2 cups hot water<br />
1/8 cup baking soda<br />
1/2 cup lemon juice<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
First dissolve the baking soda in hot water then add the lemon juice. You can use ReaLemon for this (expired is fine). <br />
<br />
<strong><em>Quick Tip: Easy Homemade Deodorizer Sprays:</em></strong><br />
You can also whip up some good, fresh smelling spray with just two ingredients: water or vinegar and essential oils. <br />
<br />
Simply fill a spray bottle with water or vinegar, add a dozen or so drops of your favorite essential oils and spray away! <br />
<br />
<strong>Salt Packed Citrus Shells: DIY Air Freshener</strong> <br />
<strong></strong> <br />
I just adore the smell of grapefruit: <br />
<br />
Cut an grapefruit in half and remove the pulp; <br />
Fill the empty shell with some salt; <br />
Put in the back of your fridge as a fridge freshener; <br />
Keep the grapefruit shell in a small bowl so it won’t tip over and spill the salt. <br />
<br />
The salt absorbs stale and nasty odors while the shell releases a fresh, orange smell. I also tuck one of these behind the toilet in our bathroom. <br />
<br />
This would also work for other citrus fruits like lemons and oranges.<br />
<br />
Another way you can do this is cut an orange in half and coat the exposed flesh liberally with salt. Since we love eating oranges I always remove the pulp first. <br />
