When I was a young kid, in school we made little air fresheners for our moms for Holidays. We used cloves in an apple and orange and decorated it with ribbon to hang, and fancy stick pins. I was so proud to give to my mom. I can still smell it today, and I’m 64. Mmmmmmmm..........

If you’ve ever bought those air fresheners that have the gel beads inside, after they’ve dried up, empty out the container, clean them up and reuse them. Since they already have the lids cut out, They’re great for this idea. I also used one to hold baking soda and put it in my fridge. It looks nicer than having just an open box of baking soda sitting in there. Thanks for sharing your wisdom! Much appreciated!

I love cloves. I am irish and cloves in a hot whiskey is for sickness. Without the cloves it doesn't work. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us x

Use dried lavender instead of fabric softener to avoid the chemicals! Works great!

I would use all the ingredients mentioned except the fabric softener which I never use...I prefer to use Mint Oil Essential Oil in some oil from the kitchen to mix it into a moist mixture...Thank you for this idea for clean fresh air in the home

I love cloves. As a child, at Christmas time my mother and I would poke cloves into oranges or clementines and set them by the fireplace and in the kitchen. I’m having a big birthday party this weekend for my daughter so it’s the perfect time to make this to keep the loo smelling fresh. Thanks for sharing!

This idea is TOO precious . Simple easy cleanup . Leaving behind a Sweet/Aromatic Memory that can be shared . TOUCH, SIGHT, SMELL.

I think this is a great idea. Salt is good on many levels and I absolutely love the smell of cloves and orange essential oil. Thank you so much for sharing

I've been collecting glass jars and didn't know what for lol but now I will make this for every room in my house ☺️

This is such a great idea..I've been looking to make something for my home ...many thanks for sharing!

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing, ma'am! Love and regards from India ♥️💐🙏🏽

Many people are allergic to fabric softener, even unscented. I have asthma and breathing the chemical in fabric softener (and most cleaning products) triggers attacks. Many of us who suffer from chemical triggered asthma can’t even go near the cleaning and laundry isles in the grocery store. I suggest using real lavender, even essential oils would be a good alternative. Will be trying this with the essential oil. Thanks for posting and love how pretty this looks. Looking forward to more of your videos.

Spice jars, like cinnamon, have a shaker top, grated Parmesan, wash and save container. Diatomaceous earth, will absorb the essential oil, takes a long time to dry out, just re-moisten and keep going. Cloves are excellent to repel wasps, save the little bags that garlic comes in, fill to make a sac of cloves to be used for a nice scent or baseboards to repel insects and rodents. Doesn’t seem to work long term to keep dog walkers away, though.

I'm impressed with your cutting skills. Never seen a lid cut out and shaped so beautifully

Maa sha Allah it actually looks so nice and I'm sure it would smell so nice keep the good job on habbebty 👍👍👍 Wa alaykum Salam waramotullah wabarakatuh

I can’t wait to try this! I love lenor.. spring awakening.wondering which essential oil will work with this... thanks for this!

Awesome 👍🏿 I love this😍 Thanks for Sharing ❤️🙏🏿

lovely! and never thought of using salt... going to try it right now!! thanks :)

WOW!!! I can’t wait to try this✅. THANK YOU SO MUCH!🥰🙏🙏🙏

Wahoo that's so lovely, thank you for the knowledge shared 😍

Followed your recipe. Absolutlely works great. Thank you thank you! 👍

A hammer and nail would be safer to puncture the lid. Take it off the jar and put the lid on a piece of wood before hammering. I love this idea with the cloves and orange! Thank you for sharing!

I absolutely LOVE your accent!!

Love this. Sandra as Grace

You also could use a nail and hammer to make holes in the jar lid with the lid off the jar. I would be afraid of ruining and dulling my knife. After making holes from the top down, turn the lid upside down on a hard, flat surface with a piece of cloth under it (so the lid won’t get scratched) and use the hammer to flatten the sharp edges of the holes punched by the nail and hammer.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have 2 German Shepherds and when it comes to winter my house smells like wet dog as they are inside dogs. It's when they go to the dog park they stink 🙄 I'm going to make these for every room in the house. The only bit I don't like are tbe cloves as I don't like the smell of them or cinnamon or aniseed etc.

If you cut the holes in the lid last, you can just shake the bottle to mix

Great idea.I will definitely try that.Thanks for sharing.

Can we use Kapoor camphor instead of softener. .grinding roughly ..only real camphor not chemical one.

This is really amazing and important in every home, thanks for sharing... Trust you're doing great 👍keep staying safe 💚

Ball jars with sprouting lids work great!

Having pets, I'm always looking for ways to make sure my house smells great and not like my pets ! 😁 Thanks, I'm going to try these. Thank you 😍

Clove is good for mouth infections mash the little balls into a powder yiu separate it from the little stick it also has a slight numbing affect :)

What a timing! I just broke my glass bottle where I put my cloves. I can't consume them anymore since there ould broken glass. Awesome idea.

Great idea for air freshener. Thank you 🦋

Yeah, don’t use chemically ridden fabric softer. Essential oils in moderation is light years better.

I just found your channel and I just wanted to say thank you💗 I hope you and your family are doing great and to ask please make more videos👏🏼

Very clear and a great idea !

I'll try it, thanks for sharing😊👍

Mix in another container then pack it up in smaller jar.

Fabric softener has toxic scents and toxins you really do not want to have as they cause illness. A good substitute for softeners could be essential oils as they are not toxic, other than that I like this video. God bless you & your viewers.

I love the smell of cloves. Instead of blending several scents, would it work if .I just used s salt and cloves?

AMAZING!!!🥰🙏🙏 THANK YOU FOR SHARING🎉

Great idea minus the fabric softener. Thank you much!

Lovely idea & presentation, thank you! 🙂

Thank you for sharing this lovely idea. Would it not have been easier to make the mixture in a dish which is would make stirring less difficult. Then you can transfer to mixture to your chosen container. To get the correct amount of salt for your container, just put the salt in first them pour it into the mixing dish. Add the other ingredients and stir well. Transfer mixture to your chosen decorative diffuser.

Beautiful! Thank you!

Great video❤ I’m always looking for DIY aromatics that are budget friendly and recycling glass containers 💜

How often do you have to make this up so that it is effective?

I'm gonna make it, thanks👍👍👍God bless😊😘

Great share

Top Tip: If you're tempted to lick the spoon afterwards, don't.

I would use a soldering iron for making the holes, and I would mix all the ingredients in a disposable bowl then add to the jar. I'm going to try this.

What a wonderful tip. I'm going to try this, it sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing I will do this at once now😍 I always look for ways to keep my house smelling sweet

Fabric softeners have un-named “perfumes” that are actually toxic chemicals - “perfume” can be made from these toxic chemicals. A lot of things around the home have this “perfume” - shampoo, detergent etc. I have gotten rid of all these and use only natural products.

Sister. The airfreshner should be all natural. Fabric softener has chemicals in it. Otherwise your idea is wonderful.

Waa Allaikum sallam Thank you very much for this video Wow

I will try! Thanks!

Thanks for the lovely DYI idea to keep home feel fresh with lovely fragrance 😍🙏❤️👍👌

I just stood immediately and mix, wonderful tx❤️❤️👌🏾👌🏾💯

Nice, have to try this, thank you!

Wonderful easy deodorizer, great idea! How long does the scent normally last?

How long does it last?

Thanks for sharing i cant wait to make some

Great Idea! Thanks!

Thank you! This is very helpful. We may be putting our house on the market, and we have an adorable but very stinky little dog! Having a few of these lovely salty sachets dotted throughout the house when realtors bring potential buyers around will be a big help. I am just now subscribing! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Did you say it is a repellant for insects and BATS from her household? Where I live, we don't hear about Bats in homes but that's the beauty of KZfaq! It connects us with our wonderful brothers and sisters from all around the world! Thank you for this video! One thing we share in common is BUGS! Spiders, Centipedes, as well as flying bugs, especially during the summer months. And who doesn't like an amazingly good-smelling house?! So I WILL be trying the "secret" shared here and I thank Realistic Suwey for sharing her knowledge on how to make this homemade air freshener with common household items I already have here in my home!

Well done. Much appreciated work👏🏼

Thank U this excellent idea.🙏God bless 🙏 Amen

Thank you so much for such a Wonderful idea 💖👏

What about using Epsom salts that’s already got oils infused then adding cloves… I think I will try that too. Thank you!!

Your ideas are delicious to my Senses with no artificial chemicals. Thank you 🙂

THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GOOD IDEA, I WILL SHOP TOMORROW FOR INGREDIENTS

I would mix everything in a small bowl then add to jar.

Don’t know if I missed it but how long does this last?

Ooooo, I can't wait to try this out!

I don’t have fabric softener nor essential oils. But I do have citrus in the kitchen available. Would that work the same? Any ideas from others? Thanks for sharing this!! Appreciated!

What else can I use besides fabrixc softner as I do not use that. Tks

Wa'alaikumussalam warohmatulloh wabarokah 🤲 thanks for sharing

I came across your video this morning and I made the air freshener this morning and it smells amazing thank you.❤❤❤❤

Fabric softener is garbage. Do NOT use it.

Thank you for sharing. I will try it with cardamom as I love that scent most. I will try to replace the fabric softener with lavender essential oils and hope it gives similar results.

How much is the measure of fabric softener, please?

I heard baking soda instead of rock salt can be used? Also how long should you keep until you need to discard and replace? TY

Why fabric softener?? Isnt that toxic?

Thanks for yr hacks u are great I am going to try it I love clean house and it should smell great ❤️

About how long would you say this air freshener would last before changing the contents?

It would be nice with a thin ribbon tied around the bottom of the lid and tied in a bow ! Thank you for your wonderful idea 😊

Great recipe except for the fabric softener . I’m allergic to all those awful laundry detergent odours so as others have suggested.. I’ll definitely be using essential oils only

Love it. How long will it last ?

I will be trying this thank you for sharing

Thank you for posting this great idea! I am definitely going to use the lavender fabric softener. They do come in many other lovely aromas as well. Take care 🥀

Mix it in a bowl and then transfer it to the jar. Use a drill to put holes in the lid of the jar.
