Brilio.net - Commercial air fresheners are often a quick solution to keep the scent fresh in the home or office. However, many people are annoyed because these products tend to have a smell that disappears quickly, so they need to be replaced more often than. This problem can certainly make household expenses even more wasteful.
One reason why commercial air fresheners lose their scent quickly is the composition of the ingredients used. Many air fresheners rely on volatile chemicals that evaporate easily. While this produces a strong, fast-spreading scent, this high volatility means that the scent also fades quickly, especially in rooms with good ventilation or that are frequently opened and closed.
Well, if you want your air freshener to last longer, you can make it yourself from simple ingredients. There is even one kitchen ingredient that can be used to make the scent of this air freshener last longer. Well, these ingredients have been used directly by the owner of the Instagram account @melizah21.
Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to using three ingredients. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @melizah21 on Tuesday (10/12) the ingredients in question are bar soap, fabric softener, and one kitchen ingredient, namely vinegar. Well, this vinegar has an important key in making natural air fresheners, you know.

Now, how to use it, just prepare a glass cup or container first. After that, put in the grated bar soap (to make it easier to dissolve and the smell spreads). Then add vinegar and fabric softener to taste. Then stir all these ingredients until evenly mixed.

In order for the aroma to spread further, Instagram user @melizah21 then used a diffuser stick. She inserted three diffuser sticks so that the aroma spread throughout the room. Then, she placed the fragrance in one corner of the house.

Vinegar is known as a multifunctional natural ingredient, including in extending the aroma of air fresheners. This is because vinegar has binding properties that help extend the active period of the aroma. When mixed with other fragrance ingredients, vinegar helps slow down the evaporation of the aroma. That way, the aroma of the fragrance will evaporate more slowly, so that the fragrance lasts longer in the room.
