I just love walking into a clean smelling home. Or one that has a fragrance to make the season. If you have bought these plug-in fresheners, you know how expensive they are. Save money by following this tutorial we are sharing.

How To Make Your Own Plug-in Air Freshener- Step By Step

Remove Wick

First things first, you need to remove the wick. Depending on the kind of freshener you have, there may be a nail fastening the wick on. (I think they do this so it’s hard to make your own air fresheners.) If needed, a pair of needle nose pliers can help get the job done.

Refill

Once you’ve got the wick removed, the rest is pretty easy. Fill the air freshener a little less than half full with your favorite essential oil(s). You can do a mixture of numerous ones, or just keep one oil in the container. Lemon is good for the kitchen, lavender is great for the bedroom, and rosemary is nice in the bathroom. But you can do whatever you want.

Fill with Water

With the essential oils in the container, now fill the rest of it up with water. I don’t think it matters if it’s warm or cold, but warm seems to be the better option to me.

Replace and Shake

Then, just replace the wick in the top, securing it tightly, and then shake up the mixture. It should get a little foamy and thick looking, which is fine. Once it’s settled, just stick it in the wall and you’re all set. A clean smelling home is yours!
