[Nfb-krafters-korner] Air Freshner made wonderfully easy!!!

[Annette Carr]

What great info and very timely.  We have been using a spray orange scented
air freshener we found at Home Depot.  I love how real it smells.  For the
past month I've reminded my husband every time he has headed to Home Depot
to pick up a can or 2.  He has reported each time that he can no longer find
it.   

I think the name of the brand that has to be ordered from a distributor
starts with the letter Z.  Maybe something like Zep.

Hi everyone,
 
This might be my New Year Resolution and what a discovery!
 
I will start out with the short version of this.
 
I have always liked the smell of oranges and my foot doctor's office always
smelt like someone had just peeled an orange.  When I asked them, they told
me they get it from some distributor and have not found it any place else.  
 
So I had gone over to BrambleBerry Soaps in December as I wanted to get some
stuff over there to makelip balm for the kids and myself.  While  talking
with them I asked if they had any fragrance that smelt like oranges or
tangerines.  I orderd 1 ounce of Orange peels and one ounce of  clementine
cupcake or cookie something like that.
 
Next I did some research and well here it goes...
 
I purchased a plastic spray bottle.  I purchased 2 [probably 16 or  
larger][I sentJohn out to get it so not sure   of what size he  got]ounce
bottles 
of distilled water.  Now I took my 1 ounce of fragrance  oil and poured a
bit of the distilled water out of the bottle.  I poured  maybe half the
ounce bottle into the distilled water and put cap on and shook it  well.  I
then poured it into my spray bottle and adjusted the spray spout  to a fine
mist.  
Wahla I sprayed it in the bathroom and near my kitchen  sink and it smells
like oranges.
 
Now you know you can get all different types of fragrance oils to make
candles and all of that stuff.  Well I am thinking like a gallon of
distilled water to maybe an ounce  of the fragrance oil and you have a lot
of air freshner.  With my search they said you need to use the distilled
water and you can use this in replace of Feb breeze  and it is a lot
cheaper!!!  Those fragrance oils run from maybe $2.50 to maybe $3.75 per
ounce, but if you 
purchase maybe 4 ounces they drop in price way down.   Remember Brambleberry

soaps with each purchase you make there will give you 1/2  ounce of any
fragrance oil free with your purchase.  That is how I would  try out some of
the new smells before purchasing too much.  One One  ounce of fragrance oil
will scent 2 pounds of melt and pour soap, or 1 to 2  pounds of candle wax.

 
 
Well had to shaire my discovery with you.  That Feb breeze cost a  lot more
then that!
 
Happy New Year!
 
Joyce
