Natural Fabric Freshener

By request from Vanesa, my fellow writer at "Confessions of an All-Purpose Model".


This is far less chemical-laden than Febreeze, and smells better to boot.

This is an old theatre costume-department trick jazzed up a notch.

Equal parts filtered water and cheap vodka with or without clear essential oils to scent. That's it. If you need it stronger, increase the vodka-to-water ratio.

I scented mine with lavender, cedarwood, bergamot, tea tree and a few drops of lemon. It took all of five minutes to make and most of that was looking for some duct-tape to use as a label so I didn't mistake it for toning mist based on the empty bottle I used.

You're a gem! I have been searching for natural fabric fresheners since I sniffed our rug while doing yoga. P.U. I hate Febreze and LOVE vodka - this should work...

I'm going to go make some right now! Thanks so much! XOXO

How wonderful. I am so glad that you could find some use for this recipe. It works great on my beaded dance costumes that I can't be washing each time I perform.
