I clicked on the video out of being curious & saving money too. After watching I was like why in the hell it didn't dawn on me to remove the top & put my own fragrance in🤔. The simple things that stump us!🤨🧐
Looks like she poured that whole .5oz bottle in and let it roll….I’ve seen some videos that say to dilute with water lol….now that just don’t sound right as oil and water don’t mix
Nice tip! Can't be re-used with scented waters or alcohol fragrances scents= Flammable*. ONLY Oil diffuses or oil based scents, and dont clean out the bottles. Any WATER siphoned up the wick ruins it. 👏
Thanks!!! Glad I read your reply. It answered all the questions I had about what and what not to use. I use an oil diffuser, but the plug-in type in the bathrooms. It would be nice to sync the smells. LOL.
Oh for crying out loud.... I could have been saving so much money all these years!😅 you are a lifesaver! thank you so much for sharing your amazing hack with us! You are the real MVP🎉❤🎉
If some people watch the video again, you'll notice you don't use the original wick. It is thrown away and the replacement with the same bottle is used. The other comment about washing the original bottle first with Dawn is a good idea also.👍🏼
True. THAT'S why you can ONLY use oil in the plug ins. But, you can use fabric softener or the Unstoppable scent boosters with water in a spray bottle. Let them dissolve and spray that "Ish" EVERYWHERE!!!
You are a freaking genius! I'm going to start doing this immediately!! I'm always mad that I waste so much money buying these over and over and over and you're telling me I could be recycling. Amazing! Thank you so much for this!
I’ve done this for quite some time it works great one word of advice please use gloves when exchanging the oils the one in the original bottle can be very harmful if it gets on the skin❤️
Yes!! That’s a very important thing to know. I took the top of my plug in to smell the original fragrance and a little bit ended up on the top of my lips and I felt a little burning sensation
I heard a report on the news that using these with any fragrance is not healthy. I love these and am still using them. I did the same thing as you. Stay safe. Be blessed
Remember when the small glass vases came with little wood sticks and you put the oil in it and the sticks would pull up the oil and make the room smell so nice ?? I still use the DT oils for that... I am kind of "old school" !
@ Jane Ferguson Please tell me about this since plug ins tend to give me headaches. I want to know what grand parents and great grand parents used.. Anyone else looking at this comment please reply as well if you know of more natural and effective ways to make the apartment smell great all the time..
@Quiet As kept please do! Inquiring minds are here for the details of this budding love story! Monty will learn soon enough that growing up ain't easy!
I'm gonna try it, that's a good idea. I was going to buy another refill but since I worked for dollar tree and saw what I could do with the refills I bought I can do this.. Wow!! Great 💡idea
I tried the Bath & Body wallflower hack using airwick diffuser(the big one, battery operated). Then I found the wicks(Aura Cura) @ a health food store Jungle Jim's. I wash the glass bulb out & put my own essential oil blend it works!!! GAMECHANGER!!!!!🤗🤗🤗
I'll have to try to this. I have not seen this before, so Thank You for sharing. Keep the hacks coming !! I enjoy & I love the Dollar Tree as well.! Thank You
Great. Glad someone had similar idea..n podting it. Thanks..I've been doing it for years as well..I use lavender oil eucalyptus oil and peppermint n clove oil n perfumed oils...now learning to make my own oils from plants..busy growing trees..saving money. I even moved from australia to nz n pack them into my container. Love the clean smell in a home.
Wow I’m going to try this. I spent so much money on refills and always threw the bottle away. Guess what? Thanks to your idea I won’t be doing that anymore. Thank you.
@Carmen Figueroa, me too. I live in a senior community and one of my neighbors that lives by the elevator smokes like a freight train. I can't stand to have to walk through that smell down to the end of the hall to my apartment. So I keep a plug-in in the outlet outside my door. You can really tell the difference when it's time to refill.
Love you for this!! I buy those oils for my oil burner, and they smell great! I purchased the oil, oil burner, and the Tea light candle from Dollar Tree.
What a money saver !!!! Thank you so much!!! Til the company catches on and seals those tops…..I am going to save a supply of those bottles for my future…..you are awesome….thanks👌🏻🌸❤️
Wow wow wow. I am just trying to put in my refills in the cover. I learnt something great from you today. I spent about uk £6 on two refills. I have on opened one, so I am going to return the second on. Thank you so much my beautiful sister
Dollar General (if one is in the area) has DG home brand glass scented oil refills that fit in the Glade plug in warmers. 5 for $6.50 or 3 for $4.50. They work better than the glade to me, as in i smell the DG alot more easily than the Glade. And you save a few dollars, if that is what you are looking for. I know the Dollar tree oil is only $1 but this is only $1.30 per unit, and this works better because you can smell it in the air alot more consistently than Dollar tree oil!! (Like i said, in my opinion even better than the Glade brand itself where you spend an average of $2.00 per unit just for a refill)
Grand Rising gratitude and I appreciate you for sharing 👍 so all this time I can just buy the oil that I like and reuse the glass amazing continue to stay safe
I tried it and it works great. One thing is you have to be careful putting the wick back in the unit. Thank you for sharing and it does work well. May God bless you and your family.
Nice tip also if you didnt know they sell a smaller refill of the glade fragrances at dollar tree now I've seen the lavender and a pink color fragrance which I enjoy it lasts up to 30 days it says
I've used this & it's a hit/miss. Sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn't. I've also did this with the Swiffer. Take the top off of the Swiffer bottle, add Pinesol/water/Bleach. Put the top back on & your in business to mop your floors.
How did you refill it ? I've tried doing this before but couldn't remove the plastic thing properly eneded up making the whole wat to big so when I turned upside down to put in place the liquid started dripping. .😏
@@judithgalvan7738 in order to remove the top, you hv to get some pliers & carefully twist the top off. Once you get top off, you can refill it & replace the top & tighten it back with the pliers.
I use this with the Swiffer FAITHFULLY!!! I’m going to try and see if this works with the plug ins. IMO the wick should probably be changed. idk, but I’m going to try it out.
@@judithgalvan7738 I boil a small pot of hot water. Let it boil, then turn it off. Place the empty Swiffer container in it upside down; only the top part where the cap is goes in the hot water; count to 20…Get a piece of paper towel to wrap around the top, turn the top then voila, the top easily comes off. Fill the container back up and put the top back on and I’m good to go.
WoW this is a clever hack and a good💰💰💰 saver. Especially if the fragrance refills at dollar tree aren’t expensive like the refills for air wick. I definitely will give this a try and thanks for sharing the info. I’ll come back and let you know how long it last as well
Not sure how "authentic" the oils at DT are. I tried a bottle years ago and it scent was gone in about 24 hrs. May try again as they switch out suppliers all the time.
Here I was buying $8-$10 refills and throwing away the glasses 🤦🏻♀️ thanks I definitely learned something and will save more money
I'm gonna try this today!
a bit easier on the environment, too!
I agree!! I’m definitely going to try this !
I clicked on the video out of being curious & saving money too. After watching I was like why in the hell it didn't dawn on me to remove the top & put my own fragrance in🤔. The simple things that stump us!🤨🧐
@@Mweems007 me too 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I've been doing this for years at least 5 yrs reusing my plug ins with essential oils , it works great! It saves me so much money on the refills.
So any essential oils will work as a refill
Do it my self
No fire hazard or anything? I saw where someone put faboloso in plug ins as well as boil it on stove.
Do they last as much as the brand ones? Because I tried one and it lasted only 3 days 😒
Do you put the entire bottle of oil in or do you mix it with anything?
Looks like she poured that whole .5oz bottle in and let it roll….I’ve seen some videos that say to dilute with water lol….now that just don’t sound right as oil and water don’t mix
Nice tip!
Can't be re-used with scented waters or alcohol fragrances scents= Flammable*.

Thank u
Great safety tips
Thank you !!!
Thank you because I want sure what type of oil, trying this today
Thank you!
Ooo lawd jesus! Thank you so so much for this. I spend way too much on refills this is genius!
😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you soooo much for that tip
facts
Refills cost soooo much.
This was soooo helpful!
The manufacturers scents have been proven to be carcinogenic. So this is an excellent idea to use your own non toxic oils and / or scents. Nice video.
So coincidental! I save all the little bottles, hoping I would run across a video just like this! BAM! There you are … TY for sharing
,
Me too!
Me 3!😂
It’s your lucky day😊
I have a lot of empty ones too
It works perfectly, I even did half and added a little water. Still works great hack. Hell of a money saver.
Oh for crying out loud.... I could have been saving so much money all these years!😅 you are a lifesaver! thank you so much for sharing your amazing hack with us! You are the real MVP🎉❤🎉
If you use a different oil fragrance, you will need to clean the glass first. Dawn and hot water. Rinse. Works great.
I'm hoping the smells would compliment each other!!
@Lucy's Life sounds good!! I'd look for ways to recycle but never thought to come to YT. Now I know
Lucy, I never thought about the wick. But, it works great. Never had a issue.
If some people watch the video again, you'll notice you don't use the original wick. It is thrown away and the replacement with the same bottle is used. The other comment about washing the original bottle first with Dawn is a good idea also.👍🏼
@Lucy's Life my mistake. My eyes are getting bad, 😂
If you put liquids, and not OIL...THE COTTON inside of the refill will swell up and you won't be able to re_use it anymore!
Am scared 😳 { the wrong liquid can cause a 🔥 house fire}.
True
@@themrs.7504 Exactly!
I tried it with fabuloso and it happened just as you said and zero scent..lol I was disappointed!
True. THAT'S why you can ONLY use oil in the plug ins. But, you can use fabric softener or the Unstoppable scent boosters with water in a spray bottle. Let them dissolve and spray that "Ish" EVERYWHERE!!!

@ LaTanya Smith What oil do you use Sis for refilling and do you mix anything with it?
Yes!! That’s a very important thing to know. I took the top of my plug in to smell the original fragrance and a little bit ended up on the top of my lips and I felt a little burning sensation
Good to know while I was pouring it a little bit spilled on my hand but I'm okay for now
This is so exciting!! Can’t wait to try this, gotta run around the house now & see who’s almost out 😂
Ty I'd like to try.
I heard a report on the news that using these with any fragrance is not healthy. I love these and am still using them. I did the same thing as you. Stay safe. Be blessed
My sister in law told me the same thing. They make your house smell nice but is it worth it????
This is a wonderful blessing! I spent so much money on plug-ins, I will definitely try this, thank you for sharing this awesome idea! 👍🏼👍🏼
Remember when the small glass vases came with little wood sticks and you put the oil in it and the sticks would pull up the oil and make the room smell so nice ?? I still use the DT oils for that... I am kind of "old school" !
Great idea. I remember that. This seems so much safer.

Darn. Wish I had seen this video before I threw out my glass containers away. Well at least I know for the next time. Thank you for sharing.
Downey unstoppables for the washing machine smell so good .. add hot water and put in the refill.
Do you think you can use just regular fabric softener?
I used the unstoppable's. It didn't work well with me. It clumped up in the bottles
YES
@@estherfarris3802 Yes, I saw someone post that using a water based fragrance instead of oil based will make the wick swell, which clogs it.
Yep, I dissolve those pellets in water and pour it into a spray bottle and Viola' my apartment smells like fresh laundry!!
Awesome idea!!…I just bought replacements today…LAST TIME!! Thank you!! 🙏🏾
Thank you. Because I love that I could see how easy you did this .thank you again.
Cool beans! Thanks. Gonna give it a try. 🌷
Thank you. I am forever buying the refills. I will head down to dollar tree and try this. Nothing like dollar tree.
It works, but I use some of my old cologne fragrances to top up. World of freshness everyday
