Anyone made their own air freshener?

I have googled it briefly but have only come up with water and essential oil in a spray bottle. Surely they won't mix properly?

I'll try it any way, but I was wondering whether anyone has a 'successful' recipe...

this is the only things I could find for you from a Natural cleaning Solutions poster I received from a friend:

-wardrobes air freshener: lavender or cedar bark freshens&deter moth

-rooms : plants such as spider plants absorb pollution.

-Ecobella Natural room Mists (lavender, vanilla&summer fruits, citrus) I think you might find it there but am not sure

-tobacco odours : burn candles

here actually

I think it is pretty much what you had said: essential oil and water in a spray bottle but with emulsifier as well suppose to "keep it together".

Thanks Gorionine. Sorry for the late response but we've just recovered from a D+V bug - the air freshener would've come into its own!

I'm going to try the water+oil - just waiting for one of my squirty bottles to run out. Until then, a bxo of matches will have to do...

If you want something to absorb smells in the carpet etc then bi carbinate of soda works well.

You can put a little pot of bicarb of soda with a few drops of essential oils in a corner or on a shelf to absorb smells too.
