Instructions:
Combine the salt and fabric softener in a small bowl or jar.
Stir until the salt is evenly coated.
Place the open container in any room where you’d like a gentle, lasting scent.
Stir occasionally to refresh the fragrance.
That’s it. The salt absorbs odors; the softener releases a subtle scent. For weeks, you’ll have a natural, constant air freshener.
Variations to Customize Your Scent
With Essential Oils
Add 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil to the mixture. Try:
Lavender – Calming, relaxing
Lemon or orange – Bright, energizing
Eucalyptus or peppermint – Fresh, invigorating
Cedarwood or sandalwood – Warm, grounding
With Whole Cloves
Add 1 tablespoon whole cloves to the mixture. Cloves add a warm, spicy note and have natural antimicrobial properties.
With a Touch of Alcohol
Add 1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol or vodka to help the scent disperse more effectively and last longer.
With Baking Soda
Add ¼ cup baking soda for extra odor-absorbing power—perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or pet areas.

Pro-Tips for Best Results
1. Use Coarse Salt
Fine salt dissolves too quickly. Coarse salt (like sea salt or kosher salt) releases fragrance slowly over time.
