Brilio.net - Air fresheners have become an important element in creating a comfortable and refreshing atmosphere in a room. With a variety of aroma choices available, air fresheners can improve mood, eliminate unpleasant odors, and provide a clean and tidy impression. The right aroma can make a room feel more pleasant and support the productivity and relaxation of its occupants.
However, despite its useful function, air fresheners run out very quickly. Continuous use, especially in large rooms or with good air circulation, causes the air freshener to evaporate quickly and lose its effectiveness.
Even products that promise long-lasting scents sometimes fall short of expectations, leaving users to frequently replace them. This is not only wasteful, but can also be uncomfortable if the fragrance suddenly runs out and leaves the room without a fresh scent.
In fact, instead of buying air fresheners continuously, you can make your own at home with natural ingredients. A Facebook user Havabeells once shared it through one of the videos uploaded. She admitted that she only relied on simple ingredients in the kitchen to make air fresheners that not only last long, but can also repel insects.
As reported by BrilioFood from Facebook Havabeells on Monday (2/12), the ingredients in question are salt, lemongrass, and pandan leaves. Well, these three ingredients can produce a long-lasting fragrance. No doubt, the fragrance can last for weeks, you know.

How to use it, prepare the container first. You can use a small used plastic bottle. Cut it into two parts, then make a hole in the top plastic of the bottle. But not the lid, yes, you can make holes in the pieces around the lid. This hole will function as air circulation that makes the aroma of the air freshener spread.

Next, take the bottom of the bottle. Then add 1 tbsp of salt. If so, add the lemongrass that has been cleaned and cut into pieces. Then add the clean pandan leaves. These ingredients have a distinctive aroma that is quite strong, you know.

But it doesn't stop there, this Facebook user Havabeells immediately added a fragrance or fabric softener. Now, pour this fabric softener until the bottom of the bottle is full. When it's full, cover it with the top of the bottle that has been perforated.

Next, place the bottle containing these natural ingredients in the corner of the room. Not only the living room or closet, you can also put it in the kitchen and bathroom. In addition to being fragrant, these ingredients will help repel insects because the aroma is disliked by animals.
" One small container like this lasts for weeks, the fragrance will last for a long time, if it gets low, just add more fragrance ," said Havabeells on Facebook.
