Easy And Economical: The 100% Natural Homemade Febreze Recipe.
When I see the ads on TV where brands try to pass off their chemicals as "natural", it pisses me off!
As these terms are not regulated by law, any manufacturer can stick these words on their packaging ...
... and thus deceive the consumer.
And that's the case with the Febreze deodorant we all know. It is sold in all forms: spray, candles, car deodorant ...
Hold on tight, here is a small list of the toxic products it contains:
- BHT
- ACETALDEHYDE
- 1,3-DICHLORO-2-PROPANOL
- METHYL PYRROLIDONE
- BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL
- ETHYL ACETATE
- BENZALDEHYDE
- DIETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOETHYL ETHER
- ETHYLHEXANOL
- HEXYL CINNAMAL
And that is not the exhaustive list ... It's cold in the back, right?
Breathing in these chemicals is obviously dangerous for your health.
Since I know this, none of these products fit my home anymore!
Especially since it is very easy and economical to make your own 100% natural Febreze. Look :
Ingredients
- a 500 ml sprayer
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda
- 500 ml of distilled water
- 10 drops of organic essential oil (a single scent such as lemon, lavender or thyme, or a mixture of your choice among those offered at the end of the article)
How to do
1. Put the baking soda in a bowl.
2. Add the essential oil on top.
3. Using a fork, mix the oil with the baking soda.
4. Put this mixture in the sprayer with a funnel.
5. Make up with distilled water.
6. Shake well before each use.

Why aren't all of the ingredients in store-bought products listed?
For the sole reason that they don't need to be!
Yes, the manufacturers are not obliged to list all the ingredients because it allows them to protect their recipe!
Unfortunately, these hidden ingredients are very harmful to our health. Indeed, they contain in particular phthalates.
These molecules, which make the perfume last longer, cause birth defects and serious hormonal disturbances in the male reproductive system.
As for the synthetic musk used by Febreze, it causes allergies and other hormonal disturbances which are very detrimental to our health.
As you will have understood, it is better to use this 100% natural recipe instead of spending your money on Febreze products!
