Homemade Febreze

So excited about this one! With cloth diapers and living with 3 boys... we go through Febreze!

2 Cups Warm Water
1/4 Cup Fabric Softner
1 Tablespoon Baking Soda

Stir together and put in spray bottle.

Cost Breakdown:
- Downy Fabric Softner (67 oz) - $6.97 = $.10/oz
  1/4 c = 2 oz. 2 oz * $.10/oz = $.20
-  Baking Soda (8 oz) - $.44 = $.05/oz
1 Tbs = .5oz. So, .5oz * $.05/oz = $.03
One batch costs $.014/oz
Total cost = $.23 for 2.25 cups or 16.25 oz
* If I made 27 oz like the febreze bottle it wold cost = $.38

Febreze Fabric Freshner:
$6.25 for 27 oz = $.23/ounce

Total Savings: $5.87/27 oz Bottle
