Eco lifestyle hacks - Air freshener, cheap, effective, safe, clean

Make your own air freshener - CHEAP!
This ticks all the boxes in my mind:
Cheap
Effective
Accessible
Clean
Sustainable
EASY!

you’ll need water - can be found usually at a local tap near you (you don’t need special water, unless you want, distilled would make the scent stronger

1 litre bottle with a spray nozzle, either pick up a new one or use an old bottle that had cleaner or other products in it and clean it thoroughly a few times

your favourite essential oils - I use lavender and peppermint and maybe citrus

you’ll also need Tea Tree oil - this is the antibacterial agent.

1 litre water
15 drops of Tea tree
5 drops of each of the other oils
(get creative)

This is great for fabrics or carpet, stuff you can’t clean or wash, like upholstery. I come from the farm and dirty greasy dusty pants on couches were a regular (also sweaty bodies), so I reduced the amount of fabric and carpet I had in the house to a bare minimum but there is always SOME! It also works on curtains that are in your kitchen, that absorb the smells of whatever your cooking (fish is the killer)
