(Check out our new ONLINE SHOP for The Burlap BAG!!)
We have two cats. They get stanky. And I refused to buy air fresheners. It turns out I already had everything I needed for a homemade and EASY air freshener! No more stank in our house.
What you need:
A container (we used these)
Baking soda
Essential oil
Foil (or a lid you want to ruin and poke holes in)
This gets really complicated so pay attention….
1. Pour baking soda into container, about 1/4 full. Pour in 8ish drops of essential oils.
Oh. That’s it. Just the one step.
Well, add a lid if you want. You could nail holes into a mason jar lid but I didn’t want to ruin one. I just covered it with foil and poked some holes. No one will see mine (it’s high up on a shelf) so it didn’t need to have a pretty lid. But make yours as pretty as you want.
Seriously the easiest thing I’ve ever done. Every once in awhile, go shake it so everything mixes and freshens the stinky smells.
Done.
(p.s. we’ve had a lot of people email us asking where to get those jars! here here!)

This is such a great idea! I took it and ran with it a bit. I had a bunch of old canning jars that I’d used to make my own gel air fresheners but it’s kind of a pain. This was super easy! I topped it off with a couple pieces of tulle secured with a rubber band and then a ribbon. So cute! Thanks for the idea!
I did this last night and it took less than a minute. I used pretty jars and lavender oil. This morning my kitchen smells delightful! Thank you!
What a great idea! Trying to do natural things now so ts fits right in
That is such a great idea Sarah! I’ll have to do add some fabric to mine… thanks for the idea!
I tried this but wasn’t very pleased. I like strong smelling air fresheners and this lasted about 2 days.

LOVE this DIY…its late night here but still going to do it!!! ;)) ty 4 sharing ;))BTW,i’m one of the seekers of ur gourgeous bowl :))

I can’t wait to try this. I am tired of buying the expensive air fresheners.
I love this idea. I went out the same day and bought a bottle of grapefruit essential oil. I already had lemongrass oil, and decided to try combining the two — they go together well!
Much better than strong air fresheners that are full of chemicals! That stuff is nasty. As for only lasting two days, so what? Natural things have a shorter shelf-life and create less waste. And if your house is fairly clean, you don’t need to constantly deodorize it. You could use this for essential oils that are beneficial in other ways. For instance, lemon grass is supposed to help clarify your thinking, and lavender help you sleep.
After the “scent” runs out you can then reuse the baking soda mix as a carpet deodorizer just sprinkle and vacuum!
I love this idea!! :)
I tried this today with Lavender essential oil…and my kitchen smells so fresh. And when it no longer
smells fresh,the mixture will be used for cleaning up my new stove top. Baking soda works so well on those spills without doing any damage to your beautiful appliances!!
Where do you get those esssential oils?
had to do a second take on ur banner… phew it really is moving- notanacidflashback.
Such a great and easy idea! Im going to have to give this a try!

I have one even easier than that!
Put a few drops of 2 different scents of essential oils on your intake filter in house ac/heating unit. Then turn the FAN ON manual for a few minutes. It permeates your entire home. (don’t forget to switch it back to AUTO when you are done. Then the next time your heat or ac goes on the pretty scent will still be there.
I do the same and make my own carpet freshener. Same ingredients although sometimes instead of baking soda, I use borax. I put it in an old plastic container with holes punched into its cover and then sprinkle onto my carpet, leave for a bit and then vacuum it up. I especially like to use citronella essential oil cuz it seems to keep fleas, etc. away!
I love this idea! I am always looking for scents that help with the pet scents. I also like the idea of using it for carpets! Thanks for the DIY :)
LOVE IT~~What a great way to save money on air freshener and so much safer:)
Love this idea! Can’t wait to try it.. Where is a good place to find essential oils?
I bought my essential oil at Whole Foods (I know, I know. It was expensive. But convenient.)
I currently am out of canning jars, but I found some clearanced cheese/pepper flake shakers like the ones you’d find at a pizza place. No need to poke holes, they’re already there! I love it!
this winer we took Purex crystals and put them into “wedding favor ” organza bags from Dollar tree and tied the bags ti the heat ducts in our rooms….I will try this now in the bags and see how it works.thanks great idea
I am totally sold. I just may invest in some essential oils (or just a fragrance oil since I doubt I can find essential oil at Walmart) and baking soda, but I know I’ve got the jars.
our Walmart carries essential oils in the craft section :o) if not craft stores in candle making aisle …
What a terrific idea! Thanks so much for sharing :)
Great idea goin to try I love air freshners and spend alot of money on themthis is alot cheaper
I’m guessing this would work as well with lemon juice maybe? as in the fresh variety?
It works REALLY well in my teeny tiny toilet room! I did peppermint – smells like Christmas in there. =) Thanks for the uber-easy DIY that even *I* can do.
I have taken the same little squatty Mason jar, filled it
3/4 full with dried used coffee grounds, stretched a square of dark colored (my preference) clean pantyhose (who wears these things anymore anyway?)over the top and used the ring to secure. Placed in my fridge…smells so clean and fresh.

Hi. I just used your air freshner idea. I wanted to share that i used a
Stemed old fashioned ice cream dish used lavender essential oil and then covered it with GLAD “Press and Seal” then used a knife to put a few holes in the top. Now a clear top on my dish that is cute. You know it would look crafty to put a row of ribbon around the top. Even the curled ribbon you use on presents!! I think the Press and Seal should hold if no one opens it up. Im trying it tonight. Sue
Love love love essential oils! Another thing to do with sweet orange essential oil and baking soda is mix the 2 together and using a broom sweep into your carpet, wait about 10 min and vaccum it up. Not only does it leave the carpet smelling fresh and clean it also freshens up the sweeper :).
Btw, definitetly trying the air freshener idea when I get home.
Wow great idea! How long will this last?

Great idea!
Just be careful which essential oils you use around cats – most are highly toxic to them even when inhaled. I recommend googling the oils you plan to use to make sure they are ok for your fur ball :)
There is something else on the market that is also natural. In the USA it goes by the name Clear the Air or MultiFresh to name just two. The website link I’ve provided takes you to another. 100% natural mineral re-useable for evey completely safe around pets and children.

You can. Also find the oils at the dollar stores.I have in lavender. Rose carnation and a few others bit u can’t always find there but when I do I stock up.lol
What a great idea. We have 2 bedrooms in our finished basement, but the one that is completely underground gets a little musty sometimes, I’m going to try this out right now!
You can also use the left over baking soda mix with a bit of soap and water to clean your bathtub.

greatttt idea!!!
someone mentioned that essential oils can be toxic to animals- here is a site that i found that lists the offenders. hope this helps! http://www.optimumchoices.com/animals_essential_oils.htm
This is a fabulous idea. I bought oils from walmart. Now I have one in my bedroom and the other in the bathroom. Thanks.
Seems like you could also use an old make-up powder container…it would already have the attachment with the small holes and you could re-seal it with the lid when you didn’t need it!
Thanks for the cool idea – you could use flexible screen, tulle fabric or other holey items for a cover if it will be in a visible place
Love this. It works great! I also use essential oils in my vaccum cleaner. Just put a few drops on a cotton ball and throw it in the canister after you empty it. Every time you vaccuum it makes your whole house smell lovely.
i love everyones ideas!! especially putting essential oil in the air conditioning and in the vacuum! i’ll hafta try them….
Wonderful idea! How long does the scent usually last?
I’m going to make some of this freshner, put it in some organza bags & hang them from a hanger in the closets, I am going to try Lemongrass EO & will try Rosehiip as welll. Martha Stewart had a contest asking for Baking Soda, so many ideas. Who knows, P&G may be in trouble!

I love doTERRA Oils and you can become a consultant for discounts!
hi hannah. mine lasted for a week. You can get more scent out of it when you shake it once in a while.
I used inexpensive salt shakers from the dollar store (2 for $.97) works really well.
Have just made some for my home. I used baby food jars, as i have a few and don’t mind nailing some holes in them. I only had eucalyptus oil so i used that, it smells so fresh. Luv it!!!
Great idea! I use baking soda and essential oils in a variety of ways, but never thought of this! You can also use empty spray bottles, fill with water and drops of favorite essential oils, and use as room deodorant sprays. Non-toxic!
I buy my essential oils when I am buying health items from Swanson’s online. They’re pretty reasonable even with a mailing charge, especially if you’re buying a number of things at once. (Not an ad, I just see that a few people didn’t know where to buy authentic essential oils.)
I like lavender, peppermint, orange. Peppermint is also good for your homemade tooth powder (salt, baking soda, peppermint oil).
Great idea. I also cut a round peace of lace, a little larger than the lid and screwed on the jar ring only. Works great
I think you could refresh the baking soda by adding a bit more essential oil.
Another air freshener i make with essential oil is to use white vinegar and water 50/50 then add orange essential oil. and this can also be used as a general cleaner as well.
I buy my essential oils locally at Bolek’s Crafts in Dover, Ohio. they also sell online and have an extensive catalog, good prices and reasonable shipping. Most of the more common essential oils are $2.50. Here is a link (and no i dont work there or have any financial interest in them. I just know they have been around forever and you cant beat their prices. They sell wholesale to stores
http://www.bolekscrafts.com/essential_oils.htm
I love this idea! If it works for me, I won’t buy another one of those gel air fresheners. I also put a few drops of essential oil on my vacuum cleaner’s filters, so every time I vacuum, it gives a wonderful smell.
Fast air freshner is place some vanilla extract on a light bulb. Every time you turn it on, it smells like vanilla.
where do I get the oil for the room freshner?
[...] DIY Room Air Freshener The ridiculously easy instructions call for essential oil but I had extra perfume oil from Body Shop I’ve been contemplating tossing. So I used them here. I also used cheesecloth held on with the canning ring instead of poking holes in a top or using foil. It’s a faint smell so I have to shake the jar if the air really needs freshening but it’s easy and cheap so sure. I’d do it again. Bathtub Cleaner This did work but was certainly not the miracle I’m sure many other pinners were hoping for. (The pin actually links to another “tester” who had the amazing results you see in the picture below. I guess her tub started out a bit dirtier than mine!) It smelled (warm vinegar- yummy) but was easy enough to apply to the tubs. I waited a few hours and went back to wash off. The tub with the removable shower head was infinitely easier to clean, duh. But it did make the tubs shine. Just had to rinse for awhile cause we have really soft water & I didn’t want anyone breaking their neck getting into the tub. Lemon Garlic Brussels Sprouts Pretty good. Kinda boring and I like my spouts a bit softer so I probably undercooked them or something. I guess I’m just addicted to my slow cooker sprout recipe. Still definitely not better Brussels sprouts recipe than this one – Very Best Brussels Sprouts EVER. Granted, not as pretty but seriously amazing. Maple Cinnamon Almond Butter Since I’m eating primal/Paleo, I’ve upped my nut butter intake. It’s used as a base in many of the things I bake. Mom gets me jars at Costco for a good price but this make it yourself might be the way I go instead! Honestly it would depend on the cost of raw almonds. I assume they’re cheaper than almond butter but you never know. This was so easy. Almonds + food processor. I did not add anything to this as the recipe calls for because the almonds I used were cinnamon covered and had sweetness to them.

Hi Lauren,
I recently stumbled upon your site and did the mason jar matchbox with the strike-able lid and since then I’ve been hooked to your site! I recently made a batch of the air freshener and I’ve had to get used to the really mild scent it gives. I’ve just been so used to the commercial and chemical filled stuff. Now that I’m on my second batch I think it’s great and don’t know how I’ve lived with “other” kinds for so long…but thanks for giving me great ideas and projects to do around the house :)

Hej, been wanting to try this since we just moved into an house. But it only lasted a couple of days. :(
Can’t I just add more drops of essential oil and reuse it?
Thanks,

Love this idea! I was thinking though that you could use burlap and the jar ring for the top and it would look cute too! Sorry if someone already suggested it, but there are a lot of comments here so I couldn’t read through them all…
i found this tonight and made up three batches, one for the laundry room where the catbox is, one for the bath and one for the kitchen….smells wonderful, mine are sitting in little tart tins that i got at a second hand store, smells great and looks cute..thanks so much!!!
I just pinned this and was showing my hubby but complaining because we didn’t have any essential oils. He piped up and suggested using regular fragrance oil (we have plenty from Bath & Body Works) and it worked great! I have a few extra small mason jars so he just nailed 8 small holes in the lid. It works great! I did use a lot of drops of oil than suggested because we have an open kitchen/living room area. When the smell goes away, I will just shake it up and add a few more drops. Thanks for the idea!!
You should us a cupcake holder under the screw part of the lid!! very pretty and doesnt wreck any thing

As a home builder’s wife and realtor I have to say that I have been told many times by reputable carpet people that putting baking soda or those carpet freshners on your carpet will cause the fibers to break down faster; therefore causing you to have to replace your carpet….I can tell you after assisting my hubby with a remodel for one of my clients and pulling up their carpet it was a nasty mess underneath the carpet and pad, there was A LOT of “granules” under the carper and pad it was pretty nasty looking!!
Top your air fresheners with burlap and an elastic of raffia.
How long will it last before you should make another batch??
ps-LOVE this DIY by the way!
I used some $1.00 salt shakers that look like a mini mason jar. I used essential oil and rock salt to make an air freshener. The salt seems to last a long time, and not absorb moisture as quick as baking soda does. I used clove oil in some baking soda, and put it into a container with holes in the top to use as a flea repellent on my rugs. I swept it into the rugs, and after a bit of time I ran the vacuum. It left a nice smell in the room. I did not want any left to possibly get stirred up and irritate my dog’s eyes and nose.
Love this idea! I have to try this, because store bought air fresheners sometimes bother my allergies. Hopefully this won’t. Thanks for the good idea. :)
After the scent has gone away, the baking soda can be saved and used in making your homemade laundry soap and fabric softener, too. I love my essential oils!
You can buy small ‘cheese shaker’ glass jars with lids, I think I got mine at the $1 store. I am going to try a variation on this, as I have a suitcase with musty smell in it (vintage one) I plan to put the scent on a cotton pad in the jar, that way it doesn’t touch the fabric but the smell gets around inside the suitcase.
I think a little piece of net with a rubberband would work also instead of the tinfoil over the top of the jar. Gonna try this
Great Idea, I am using this right now, thanks!
I bought “highly fragranced warming oil” by mistake at Wallmart. Will this work as well, or should I get the essential oil instead???
I happen to have very high quality essential oils on hand as I used to work in a natural perfumery making custom scents. It’s really worth getting good quality oils. Look online AuraCacia is pretty good Aveda sells decent oils too.Whole foods or any local health food store even local farmers markets sometimes have beautiful oils.I tried this several days ago and it’s working wonderfully! So simple. I used a combination of Rosewood, Cedarwood and Sandalwood oil. I used about fifteen drops. It’s a subtle scent as you enter the washroom nothing overpowering. If it only is lasting two days maybe add more drops or get a better quality essential oil. Also if you’re used to fake chemicals that give a constant scent to your environment, it can take awhile to get used to actual air with little scents.
@ Sarah, it kind if defeats the purpose of living green if you buy a chemical scent such as a fragrance. Warming oil is a chemical fragrance and is probably a petroleum based product. Just saying…

Doing THIS today!!! I have cat “stank” too. LOL. Love my cats, but Jeeze! Wondering if there is a good way to put this in a sachet? Hmmmm….
just completed my new air freshener.
thank you for the great, natural and cheap idea!
i had an idea that i used on mine for the top.
i cut a piece of burlap instead of foil and screwed the lid (without the top) to keep burlap attached. cuter than foil and appropriate, i thought.
These glass containers are available at most wal-mart stores.
I’m SO glad I found this! I’ve been working on developing some scents that don’t overpower my sensibilities. One of my other projects was making some of those cute “Redneck wine glasses” which I had painted with that cool antique mirror finish. I did a couple in pink with a pearliezed finish that I didn’t like, but they look good in the spa room. Well, nobody else liked the silver ones either, at least not at the local craft show I did. So, I had lots of pretty jars to use ;). Now I have musk in the foyer, almond in the utility room, lavender on the bedstead and euclyptus in the spa. I’m so happy I had to share! Hope I can handle the scents now!
I am thrilled with this idea, cant wait to try this, thanks for sharing. Brilliant!!
This works well in a very small room. My home is very open plan, so it doesn’t really work that well, however, I much prefer using essential oils than chemicals. I’m trying to find a way to make the fragrance spread throughout my home. I’ve tried using a small crockpot with water, but that doesn’t work very well either. I think I’m going to try sweet almond oil or sunflower oil with the essential oils. If that doesn’t work, I don’t know what else to do..any ideas for really big rooms?!
Great Idea~ doing it today.. all of your projects are wonderfully inspiring …. BIG THANKS!

Some thoughts. I won’t use cheap oils. They have chemicals in as well.
I’ve heard of great ways to use oils for air freshener but this one is cool because it combines the scent and aroma properties of oil with the absorbing properties of baking soda. I’ve been taught to put baking soda in the freezers to absorb. I’ve never thought of oils!
Great lid suggestions here too!

I stopped to look at this because of the jar. I saw some in Walmart yesterday and was trying to think of a way to use them. This looks good.

I think I’m going to try this, but use some vanilla extract, since I have some of the real stuff on hand and vanilla doesn’t seem to bother my COPD. I think I also have some peppermint. I just lack the baking soda, so I’ll have to wait until I get back to the store.
Thank you for the wonderful idea, and thank all of you posters for adding to it.
Very funny and entertaining I must say. Great idea as well.

how long does this last?
I put my baking soda in a querky crooked stem martini glass (was a gift), add a bit of essential oil and keep it on the window ledge of my bathroom. The sun heats it up in the afternoons and leaves it smelling nice at least until morning. When I take a shower, the humidity gets into it and once again it smells fresh. There are many other uses for baking soda…ie baking soda with lemon juice=make a face mask until hard, rinse…leaves your face nice and smooth and gets rid of acne! You can also dump the baking soda down your sink to keep it free-flowing.Loads of other uses on Pinterest
As for the veggie part, any veggie that grows in the earth ie potatoes, can be regrown…also, take any pips ie from lemons, oranges, grapefruits or tangerines, stick them in earth water watch it grow!! leaves smell nice too…mine grew about 4 ft tall after several years. Mine had no fruit but some do produce fruit.
[...] The Burlap Bag [...]
baking soda is used to absorb odors maybe thats why your scent is only lasting 2 days!!!! why not putting the oil on a bunch of cotton balls.It will last longer and you can refresh as needed.
This is one of my favorites, I have a jar at home that is perfect for it. I’ve been wanting to try it for a while but I keep forgetting to buy the essential oils! I’m not sure where to buy them in Brazil but I’m sure I’ll find someplace. :)
I have seen this same idea all over the internet and Pinterest. It DOES NOT work for me I have put 1 in both bathrooms and my bedroom and nothing….. cannot smell anything…???? I don’t understand I even dumped it and tried again with even more EO and still don’t smell it unless I pick it up and put it to my nose!!! LOL OMG IDK why im having this issue. I have a candle warmer and when its on and the candle is all melted I add some EO to make the fragrance stronger. That works but I’m not going to do that for every room.
