One great example of these cleaning agents are refrigerator deodorizers. Some may see it as an excess luxury item for their fridge and some may even see it essential for a spotless finish. Whichever may, spending $20 for a refrigerator deodorizer will always be beyond the practical majority most especially if these things can be made at home and can cost everybody less than a fraction of what they can see in grocery stores.
Here are some easy steps for you to save money and have a cheap and fresh-smelling refrigerator all year round!
Ingredients:
- 2.5 Cups of Baking Soda
- ½ – 1 Cup Water
- 15 Drops Essential Oil of Choice
Note: If you are worried about using essential oils, do not worry because we are not playing with fire here. The use of scented essential oils is for us to achieve a stronger and much more concentrated product that could last for longer periods of time.
Materials Needed:
- Measuring Cup
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Silicone Cupcake Liners
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients together in the order of: baking soda, oil, then water.
2. Give the mixture a little stir until it reaches a damp consistency. If you are not sure what this means, try to imagine digging your toes into the beach's sand early in the morning or making a sand castle; damp but not overly wet.
3. If in the middle of stirring, you find that your mixture is not damp enough, you can add little drops of water at a time until you get the consistency you want.
2. Once you've completed mixing everything, scoop your mixture and add it to silicone molds or silicone cupcake liners and press the mixture firmly down for it to clump and harden later on. Don't worry about pressing too hard on these silicone liners, you won't be contaminating it because the ingredients used here are all natural. This will not affect any cupcake or muffin in the future.
3. Allow the mixture to dry for 2-3 days before taking them out of the silicone mold and putting it in a container for cleaning, display or whatever you have in mind.
How to Use this Deodorizer:
Put one of your finished products in a dish and inside your fridge for as long as 30 days. The time to switch deodorizers would depend on the longevity of the scent it produces.
Note: You can use this as your very own kitchen hack or you can even send this as a gift to your friend with kitchen-related woes. Not only that you can also use this deodorizer for your musty closet or inside your bathroom. The choice is yours!
