I thought I would share with my Yorkie friends a homemade air freshener that I use weekly and have now for the last 6 months. I love love love it! My house smells like I am baking cookies all day after using it...And best of all it works 100%.

Since finding this recipe I have read where hunters use it to cover up their sent before leaving for a hunt. I read where a lady left fish in a camper refrigerator for a long time and used vanilla to kill the stink. Tried three other things before trying the vanilla. That's one I'll always remember LOL that had to stink something awful! I also read they use it in hotels to help diminish the smell in the smoking rooms. And last I also read it's good as a Mosquito Repellent. So I just mist my dogs with it on our way out to potty at night. I haven't had a bite all summer. But I haven't seen many here this year so that may just be a fluke...Maybe someone with a lot of mosquitoes will try it on their arms and report back.

Here's what I do......
I take a small sprayer I bought in the hair department at Wal-Mart it is small not large. Probably no more than a cup really. Then fill it with water to the stop line then I just pour in the cheap imitation vanilla flavoring. I don't measure but, I guess a few tablespoons if I had to be exact. It really helps the doggie house odors.

How I use it....
If I know someone is coming by....I spray my furniture, carpets, and mist the air in the bathroom. Now mine are all dark so it doesn't show on my furniture but, I would not use this on light colors as it might stain or ring...shrug! Works great just sprayed in the air. Also after I clean their crates/beds I give it a good spraying and let it dry. Smells great all day and night!

I guess we could call this going GREEN air freshener LOL, as it is homemade and economical. woot! It works for me maybe someone will find this useful too!
