picksbughfan Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Air Fresheners/Deodorizers: 1) Place cloves, cinnamon sticks, allspice or other favorite scented spice in a pot of water , simmer for 1-2 hours 2) Put a few slices of leftover orange or lemon rinds in a pot of water, simmer for 1-2 hours 3) Place baking soda in an open container of your choice. Good for closets, refrigerators and other small enclosed spaces 4) 2-3 slices of white bread absorbs refrigerator odors 5) Place lemon slices in an open bowl in the kitchen 6) Lemon and baking soda spray: Dissolve baking soda in 2 cups hot water, add lemon juice, pour into spray bottle, spray into air as air freshener 7) Place unscented kitty litter placed in bowls to absorb room odors 8) Vinegar in a cup or bowl rids rooms of odors 9) Charcoal placed in a bowl rids rooms of odors 10) Simply light a match for a few moments or burn a candle (scented or unscented). The flame from either will "eat-up" bad smelling gases in the air 11) Pour vanilla extract into a shallow dish and set in an out of the way place 12) Spin-Fresh Bathroom Deodorizer Add a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil to the inside of the cardboard toilet tissue roll. With each turn, fragrance is released into the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steelergirl Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 To deodorize rooms: place bowls full of charcoal strategically throughout your home... you can be creative and camoflauge them so its not so obvious. and don't buy the charcoal with the lighter fluid on it!!

Julie26 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 add your favorite scented oil in the filter of your air conditioners or your heater, the fan will fill your room with a constant aroma (when you have the heat on, the scent will become stronger due to the oil heating up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
