A wonderful dirt cheap alternative to buying a $5 bottle of Febreze. This version is about 5 cents to make and the scent is much nicer too. I use it all the time.

1 bottle (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2-4 tablespoons ultra downy clean breeze fabric softener
25 ounces water
32 ounces spray bottle, new and clean (please don't re-use a cleaning product bottle unless it is an old Febreeze bottle)

Directions

1
Put Downy and water in bottle and spray on furniture, carpeting, pillows, shower curtains -- etc -- To do a fabric test, spray small amount in an area where it cannot be seen.
2
I never sprayed this on anything white, but I spray it all over my house, once a week.

This stuff is awesome! I will never buy Febreeze again. When I went to the store to get the fabric softener, I saw they had Febreeze on sale...for $5 a bottle! :-O I used 4oz. of downy april fresh(I didn't like any of the other scents of fabric softener) with the 25 oz. of water and sprayed it around the house. Several hours later the scent is still detectable and the house smells wonderful. Thank you so much from a mom of a very stinky football player!! This is a keeper!

Just a FYI, I use this in a different way. If you spray your carpet as you vaccum, the anti-static properties make it easier to get pet hair out of the carpet. The smell is just a bonus! Anyone who has a pet like my sheltie will absolutely love this.

I've been using this for about a week. My couch smells good, but I wanted a little stronger smell, so I put in about 4 tablespoons of Downy in a 32 ounce spray bottle. My house smells fantastic and the cost is outstanding compared to Febreeze. I just used this on white pillowcases, and it didn't stain. And the price can't be beat! I'll be using this from now on instead of expensive Febreeze. Thanks, B!
