Make your own frebreze.
2 cups Arm and Hammer baking soda
4 cups warm water
2 cups Arm and Hammer liquid fabric softener
Mix thoroughly and place in a spray bottle. Spray on fabric to freshen, as needed.
If you have any problems with the above formular, try this if you dare: 1 tablespoon baking soda, 2 cups warm water and 1/4 cup liquid fabric softener. Mix together and dispense through spray bottle. After each use, clean sprayer with clear water to prevent clogging.
This is a pretty common recipe. Sadly it is not clear that its that effective.
"Which brings me to the subject of the fake Febreze. Yikes, that's a matter I regret bringing up. Not because I was wrong, but rather because I can't figure out why the recipe didn't work for many readers. I prepared the suggested recipe (2 cups baking soda, 4 cups warm water, 2 cups liquid fabric softener) prior to writing about it. My homemade version worked like a charm. I sprayed it on all kinds of fabrics to make sure it would not leave a residue. I was very pleased with the results. However, messages poured in from unsatisfied readers stating that the baking soda wouldn't dissolve, the concoction won't spray from the bottle and so on."
