Recipe for Natural Oils to Deodorize the Home

If any of the rooms in your home are musty or need to be refreshed, you can use a deodorizer to neutralize unwanted odors. You can purchase a premade formula or make your own, which is just as cost effective and allows you to customize the scent to your liking. Using all-natural essential oils determines which scent your deodorizer will be. Mixing the natural oils properly with the correct ingredients is important in creating a quality finished product.
