If you are looking for a DIY air freshener, then this is the blog post for you! There are many different ways to create your own air freshener. We will go over some of the most popular and effective methods in detail below.



Method one: Essential oils. The most popular way to make your own air freshener is with essential oils. There are many different ways you can use them, and they come in a variety of scents so you will have endless choices! If you don't know where to start, we recommend using orange oil for citrus smells or peppermint for a wintery scent.


Method two: White Vinegar and lemon juice. Mixing in white vinegar with your favorite citrus fruit will create an air freshener that smells like fresh oranges or lemons! Lemons are better at getting rid of bad odors, while the orange is more good for neutralizing food odors.


Method three: Pinecones and essential oils. This is a DIY air freshener that you can make in just minutes! Simply fill up an open bowl with pine cones, add your favorite essential oil, light the bottom of the cone on fire to release the scent - then enjoy!


Method four: A spray bottle filled with water. This one is simple - fill up your empty spray bottle with water and add your favorite essential oils. You can use the same method as with a bowl of pine cones, but this is better for small spaces like bathrooms!

 

We hope this article gave you some inspiration to make your own DIY air freshener! Now go out and try these methods for yourself - it's a great way of saving money while making something that will smell good in your home.
