Sorry for the silence here this week - it's been hard with this being the first week of school and our schedules being thrown off, by next week everything should be back to normal.
Since getting a dog, the house gets more stinky. She runs around outside, goes for walks and gets smelly, especially in this heat! Although I almost always have a candle lit, that doesn't help with any smells on the couch or chairs.
I decided that I wanted some type of spray for my couches and pillows - but I didn't want to get any aresol cans and spray the fumes in the house, since they aren't good to inhale. I came across this pin on Pinterest where you can make your own Febreeze spray and I new I had to make a bottle. It's SO easy and smells SO good! All you need is water, rubbing alcohol or vodka (but let's me honest, the vodka at home is for cocktails) and some essential oils.
That's it! Easy, cheap, easy to remake and not harmful to inhale!

I got my bottle of oil at Wal-Mart and love the scent - white linen. It smells clean and it's not overpowering at all. Don't be alarmed when you first spray, the smell of rubbing alcohol is strong at first but quickly fades and then you're just left with a soft smell from the oil. I sprayed this on different pieces of furniture and the next day it was still smelling like the spray, so it really works!

This is awesome! I used to use Febreeze and aresol sprays to have good smells in the house but have been looking for something more natural lately. Thanks, lady!
With a puppy being everywhere in our house I so need this - and it seems so easy!

This is such a great idea! I am definitely going to make this once I use up my Febreze (shouldn't take long!)

Love this! I always walk in and look at Roxy and say, "It smells like dog in here!"
YES! Love the linen smell. Thinking of you this week, mama. :)
We go through so many candles to get the dog smell out but I'd love to try this for our couch and furniture and the white linen scent is perfect!
