Home Remedy Tip Of The Day: Fresheners

So today's tip is for some freshening in your home. I love how these recipes use fruit and scented oil, items you already have, most likely. Enjoy!

  1. Air Freshener- This will clean your aluminum pots while freshening the air in your house at the same time. Drop slices of grapefruits, lemons, or oranges in your pot. Cover with water and simmer for an hour.
  2. Closet Freshener- Saturate a cotton ball in your favorite scented oil and place on a shelf in the closet. Repeat as needed.
  3. Keep Fresh Cut Flowers Longer- Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of sugar to 4 cups of water. Add 1/2 teaspoon of bleach and your flowers will stay fresh much longer.
  4. Kitchen Refresher- Add scented oil to your mop water 
  5. for a fragrant kitchen. Peppermint oil around Christmas is nice. Floral scents during spring and summer are lovely. And for fall and winter, cinnamon or nutmeg.
  6. Romantic Room Freshener- Place several drops of your favorite scented oil on the light bulbs. The heat from the bulbs will make the fragrance fill the air.
  7. Room Freshener While Vacuuming- Soak a cotton ball with your favorite scented oil and add to your vacuum cleaner bag. The whole house will smell wonderful.
