I found this idea here:

Thanks to Hope, who suggested it. I didn't know you could make your own! That is the beauty part--you learn so much from others.
2 Tbsp. of fabric softener
2 Tbsp. baking soda
Hot tap water
Spray bottle
Preparation:
Using a funnel, pour first your baking soda, then your fabric softener into your spray bottle. Fill spray bottle with hot tap water and shake well. Don't forget to twist the nozzle over to the locked position if you're using a Febreze bottle.
I would hesitate to spray this on fabrics such as silk (due to water staining), but I don't see how it could adversely effect cottons.

OK I predict we will now have bottles of Fabreze in every room of the house. Thanks to you! YAY!
My grandma made this the last time I went to visit her, and it smells awesome! I went around her house spraying it all over the fabrics and then on myself (the clothes I was wearing, LOL!) I think this would be a great way to freshen up some clothes you've had hanging or folded for a while without needing to rewash them, and cheaper too!
I've been doing this for quite some time now! What I use is water, rubbing alcohol, and an essential oil of whatever scent I want. Works great and havent purchased febreze since!
Reh Slipchenko How much of everything do you add? My boyfriend wears a bulletproof vest at work, he’s an EMT. The best sprays the sell are SO EXPENSIVE lmao. The rubbing alcohol would help kill off bacteria and such but I’d have no idea what amount to put in!
Once it dries, would there be baking soda residue left behind?
Nice! I'm gonna make a batch to spray in my vehicles. Good idea, Beth!
this is cool..me personally would use less downy since i end up getting headaches if it smells too much
I never added baking soda but yeah this is an awesome vid girl! :) good way to save some money
How cool and great money saver too thanks =)
this one is a keeper for sure. will make it in the morning... will use in my kitty room...thanks for the vid
I love that you put your recipe underneath so we can have it for later thank you so much for sharing wow
AWESOME! I'll do this for sure! I'm tired of paying so much for a bottle! I like to use it in my car too, except in the winter time, when I don't want to leave the bottle in my car (because it will freeze) I usually just put a couple dryer sheets in the back seat and that takes care of it through the cold months. :)
Joc A for your car, use a stone deodorizer, (hard to find), or just a small piece of broken terra cotta flower pot, add a few drops of 100% organic essential oils, and that’ll work amazingly. Pick a scent that you like, and that energizes, not a relaxing scent, as you don’t need to be tired while driving. Just remember Essential oils have a mood altering effect, so use it to your advantage for energy, healing, etc.
What a great idea!!! Very economical too. Thanks.
I love all these little make your own videos! :D
Great tip & cost effective too!!! I'm gonna do this.
Thanks
Pam
Your videos are so fun to watch! so crafty, I love it :)
Oh that's so simple and neat! :) Must try it soon!
well if you mixed just baking soda and water-THAT would be safe for pets for sure! and i imagine thats the part that kills odors.....
and then you coudl set out some kind of scented device for the nice scent (oil diffusers are ok for dogs, but i dont know about cats since they say to use caution with essential oils and cats)
that's so easy, I will have to try this! thank you!
heard you could do this, but didn't know the "recipe". thanks for sharing ;-)
Smart gotta try this
i like this. i might make some to use in combo with the used sharper image ionic breeze i just bought on ebay to combat moms cigs.
This smells great. It is a little heavy when you spray it be careful when spraying around a bare floor it made mine slippery.
This looks great! Thanks for the tip.
saw this on pinterest! i looovvveeeee ittt!!!!
WOW!!! I have to try this!!
can you put this mixture in a diffuser?
I love the smell of downy, you can smell it from people's dryer vents outside when I'm out walking sometimes :)
I like the use in the car, you could have used some of that you get rid of the corpse smell in your last car ;)
what about a febreze allergen reducer version? I buy that one online cause it really helps me. I have severe allergies that cause me to have asthma attacks. I think i ended up paying $30 for a case plus $15 S&H so if u can make a cheaper way i would love to hear it! ^_^
I LOVEEEE Downy CLEAN BREEZE smell. :) I cant wait to make this !! :) THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for sharing this Beth !
Great Idean-Excelente idea!!!
For anybody who wants to know they have TONS of ADORABLE little spray bittles at the dollar tree! :)
I like the sound of your voice. ☺
I'm curious about the baking soda myself....why do you use it?
It is used for a deodorizer. Baking soda is used for alot of things but especially to deodorize your fridge, shoes, slippers, carpets and the like. It's almost like a sponge for nasty smells, just soaks them up. Hope this helps :)

If you think it’s a deodorizer add it to ammonia and sniff. How’d it work?
Beth how does this compare to the actual Febreeze?? In terms of keeping the room smelling fresh. Thanks for the video I def want to try it
LOOOL nice... but seriously was it detergent or fabric softener?
thanks for the video,,great idea
i'm curious why fabric softener should be added rather than some other kind of liquid like soap
does it leave any kind of residue?
Is that fabric softener or the soap that you used?
Some people use rubbing alcohol some use baking soda n I’m torn which to try
I made it smell amazing
I wonder if you could make this with a homemade softener. since that is usually vinegar, (baking soda optional), and hair conditioner i wonder what would be the best adaptation? use vinegar, baking soda and essential oils for your fragrance?
Charlie Woolson essential oils are powerful and must be diluted correctly. If you know how to use them, you can. Remember when using essential oils, you must use dark glass, and store the solution in a dark and cool place. Be careful with hair conditioners, they have chemicals in them and are not safe to leave on hair for longer than directed, so I wouldn’t use it for upholstery or carpet. Stick to baking soda, it’s natural and non toxic.
are you using the downy fabric softener?
Do you have/know any good homemade detergent "recipes"? Or liquid dish soaps? I'm all about saving money with household products! :)
Amandrew P there are lots of RUclips videos on this, and you’ll save big money!
Can I use Laundry Detergent? The laundry Detergent I use, the smell, I'm in love with it. And I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to fabric softener. Idk how it would effect me being inhaled or lightly landing on the skin, but I'd rather not risk it.
I am going to do this right now. Thank you! U r battling ants and I am battling spiders, the ones that r small n thick.
Yes, a little; but if one vacuums their upholstered furniture, floors, and dust objects & surfaces (more than once a year, whether it needs it or not), then it shouldn't be much of a problem. ;-))
So fill us in on how it works. Had to chuckle at the memory of when all those bottled air fresheners that you put in the car was so popular. LOL! Remember? Any way my husband always complains about febreeze perhaps if I made it in a scent he likes he might not complain. That and hockey season approaches which means really stinky smelly goalie gear. (shudder)
What do you think so far? Does it work well? I used to buy febreze i just use candles instead. I think I will try this, thanks!
I am addicted to the febreeze scent. Is that weird?
lol now that you mentioned it i did,funny the things some people pick up and others do not
Baking soda removes odors. Try it on a very smelly cat litter, instantly you will not smell the urine. My friend at the vet said put a layer of baking soda in the cat box before the cat litter and it will keep it fresh smelling longer. Great idea!
Add it to ammonia sniff. How’d it work?
All I use is about 1/2 a cup of fabric softener, and warm water.. shake it up and spritz! Works great! I have never used baking soda... Y U PUT BAKING SODA IN IT??
i was thinking of doing the same and i look it up if it was a great idea. thanks!
I do too, because baking soda is a natural odor eliminator. It’s non toxic too. It also softens hair and fabric. It’s the sodium bicarbonate.

Add it to ammonia and sniff. How’d it deodorize the ammonia?
Thanks 4 the tip :)
I would spray it on our couch.... maybe on jackets too
crap.. I never put baking soda in mine... but it still works fine.
keg10609 try it. It eliminates odors, whereas the other stuff masks odors.
wahh I did thats alot ^ ^
hi beth im back online xxx
What's the baking soda for?
SO Ironic you posted this! Yesterday I had a customer who told me she found a reicpe to make her own!
Fruit fleas are taking over in pa. I mean taking over! Vinegar and water in a bowl makes them kill themselves. Anywho thanks i will now make about three of these and will become a crazy lady with a spray bottle. Lol
All I saw was what looked like a tiny fruit fly. They are all over my kitchen right now and driving me bonkers.
oh febreeze is meant to be sprayed directly on things.......like sofas and caropets and drapes and in shoes! unless ypu get the special kind for the air....
So if you are trying to freshen something really smelly instead of just putting scent on it, the baking soda destroys the previous stinky odors like gym shoes, or dogs bedding, used mattress.
Add it up ammonia and sniff. How’d it deodorize it?
blackhmm
Best to put baking soda in first, & then hot water. Let it dissolve, THEN add down or whatever.
What's the baking soda for?
Oh LOL, Downy is just softner? Now that I think about it maybe there isn't soap lol I asked that when I was tired and just about to go to bed so maybe I wasn't thinking hahahahaha
You a man
you a bitch?
