DIY Environmentally Safe Air Freshener

Here’s an idea in helping get rid of kitchen odors. You will need orange peels and lemon peels, small bowl, rose petals if any or a scoop of ready made potpourri, essential or aroma therapy oils in your choice of flavor.

In the bowl combine the lemon, orange peels, flower petals in a bowl and  add a few drops of essential or aromatherapy oil. Place the bowl in the kitchen counter, breakfast nook, or by the sink.

The way I do it is I leave a slice of lemon in the sponge rack or the small container that holds my dish-washing sponge. I keep orange or lemon peels in the refrigerator beside the baking soda. In my bathroom and kitchen counter I place a bowl or lemon and orange peels mixed in with potpourri bought from Micheal’s and as the scent dissipates I refresh it by adding a couple of drops of aromatherapy oil in either jasmine, citrus, lavender or bergamot, because those scents are the ones that seem to go well with the mixture of potpourri flowers and  the lemon and orange zest.
