Stopped buying refills after trying this plug! If you're still buying brand new plug-in air freshener refills every single month, you need to stop right now. Air freshener companies love to make you think these little glass bottles are completely useless once they run out, but that is a total myth. Today I'm showing you how to turn your empties into an endless supply of fresh scents for just pennies. To start, grab your empty plug-in bottle. You'll notice the plastic cap feels tightly sealed, but with a tiny bit of pressure or a flat tool, it pops right off. Inside, you'll find the core wick. Gently remove that as well. Now for a super critical step: wash both the bottle and the wick thoroughly under warm water. You want to get rid of every drop of old residue, because even a tiny bit of old oil can ruin your new scent profile. Towel dry everything completely, or leave them out in the sun for a few minutes to guarantee there's zero moisture left. While those dry, let's mix up our custom formula. Grab a glass bowl and start with four tablespoons of alcohol, rubbing alcohol works perfectly. The alcohol acts as a carrier, helping to travel the scent continuously throughout your entire room. Next, add two tablespoons of plain water to keep the scent balanced and burning smoothly. Then, ten whole cloves for a deep, warm background note. Finally, add two tablespoons of your favorite fabric softener for that clean laundry aroma. If you prefer all-natural ingredients, you can easily swap the softener for 15 to 20 drops of your favorite essential oils instead. Give everything a good stir with a spoon until the liquid becomes smooth and lightly milky in color. Carefully spoon or pour your blend into the clean glass bottle. Make sure to leave a little bit of breathing room at the top so it doesn't overflow when you put the top back on. Press the wick firmly back down into the opening. Snap the outer cap back into place and flip the bottle upside down once to prime the top of the wick. Now, plug it into your bathroom, entryway, or living room. Within a few minutes, your entire space is going to smell cozy, clean, and completely customized. And you didn't have to spend $6 on a store-bought refill to get it.
