When bad smells rear their ugly head in your house or car, instead of using typical air fresheners, try an eco-friendly cleaning product. Air fresheners don’t freshen anything. Instead they just cover up bad smells with a concentrated cocktail of poison. Try these eco-friendly air refresher ideas.

Eliminate Bad Odors:
First of all, if there are bad smells in the air, try opening a window. This is the simplest way of trying to freshen the air. Houseplants are another way of removing unpleasant odors. Some examples of helpful houseplants include spider plants, peace lilies, and English ivy. A thriving plant is always a beneficial addition to any home.

Make Your Own:
You can make your own air freshener by taking a small box of baking soda and adding 10-12 drops of an essential oil (lavender, peppermint, or patchouli). Be sure to mix them well and then put some in small dishes. Use throughout the house or office. To quickly freshen up small spaces like the closet, sprinkle cotton balls with vanilla extract and place in a small bowl.

Use Spray Bottle:
Mixing your own spray takes only three ingredients. Put equal amounts water and vinegar into a spray bottle. Then add about 20 drops of an essential oil (lemon, jasmine, or eucalyptus). Shake well before each use and spray away from the face.
