How to make a homemade air freshener

You will need the following:-

Vinegar- cuts grease, removes mildew, odors, some stains and wax build-up.
Lemon- effective against household bacteria
Tea tree- Has antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. 
Baking soda- deodorizes and cleans the air.
your favorite aromatic essential oil e.g rose, neroli (orange) or may be jasmine.
water 
Spritz spraying bottle (just enough for mist spray, however if you have Health problems like Asthma please avoid spray bottles because droplets in air inhaled can go into the bloodstream.) 
Start Mixing:-
These amounts depends on the quantity you need.
Mix one squeezed lemon oil then add 3 drops of tea tree oil, 1/2 tea spoon of baking soda, 3 drops of apple cider vinegar and finally add 4 drops of your choice of scent for aroma (lavender, rose or citrus scent). Mix with 1 cup of water
You can store it in spritz bottle, keep air tight and because we used raw squeezed lemon it is wise to keep it refrigerated.
