Hey guys! Learn how to make an easy homemade air freshener with lemon juice!
Lemons smell clean and fresh! That makes them one of the perfect ingredients for making your own non-toxic homemade air freshener! They not only neutralize bad scents and mask stale air but have a therapeutic scent that energizes and uplifts mood.
We’ll be using lemon juice plus lemon essential oil in this recipe. However, lemon essential oil is totally optional. It just has a more long lasting lemony scent compared to lemon juice plus keeps the spray from going bad fast.
Other ingredients used are baking soda and hot water. Baking soda is an important ingredient because it helps make the lemon scent stronger. Hot water helps dissolve the baking soda.
Use a spritz bottle or fine mist spray bottle to store your air freshener. Okay, now let’s check out the ingredients we’ll need and the instructions!
