I received a really great tutorial from reader Krista about making your own Febreze fabric refresher. This is a new favourite DIY project of mine and one that is likely going to save me lots of money!

Ingredients:
- 1/8 Cup Fabric Softener (Any that smells nice!)
- 2 Tablespoons Baking Soda
- Hot Water

Instructions:
1. Add all ingredients to a bottle (adding just enough hot water to almost completely fill the bottle).
2. Shake the bottle up and spray!

I actually made this spray a few weeks ago and I love it. I can’t believe how easy it was to make something that I use all the time and pay a hefty price tag for. I’ll be making my own fabric refresher from now on, using this recipe.
