DIY: Crockpot All Natural Air Fresheners

1:00 PM

Ever have a meal in the crock pot cooking all day that makes your house smell amazing? Or maybe you have had one that makes your house stink for days.  I have had both, but more recently we tried a crockpot curry meal where I couldn't get the stink out of my kitchen for what seemed liked forever.  No matter what, the crockpot either makes a home smell delicious or smell disgusting.

Crock pots are awesome for their convenience and for the little amount of power they use.  This was a perfect combination for what I thought would be the perfect air freshener cooker.




I simply combine delicious ingredients, including wonderful essential oils, in my crockpot and my home begins to smell amazing in no time at all.  As the water cooks away I simply add a little more to it.  Sometimes I leave it covered, but I also take the lid off from time to time to release even more of the wonderful fragrance.  Plus the ingredients are all natural which is a huge plus to me!


Here are 6 recipes that I have concocted and am so very happy to share with you.  I have even named the smells... get excited!

Sisters Meg and Steph discovered that while living the life of poor, newlywed, college students, with fresh little babies in the middle of The Great Recession they could still have what they needed and wanted if they got to work and created things with their own hands. This mindset has saved them thousands of dollars in living expenses, and as they share their knowledge with others, the savings keeps growing.

    This is a great idea! I have a mini crock pot--I'm going to see if that will work.

    If you have a wood burning stove use the crock for air freshner on the wood stove top.

    These are great ideas! I think I have an excuse now to buy a "dipping crock pot" to use strictly for this!

    I'd like to invite you over to our link up party so you can share this idea with many others!

    if a person did not have a crock pot of any kind, would a small pot, on the stove, on simmer work as well?

    These sound awesome. I'd like to do this instead of spending a fortune on BBW Candles. I think this option would last much longer too.
    Thanks
