Which room air freshener for your apartment should you choose?

Room fresheners are based on either their combinations or perfume compositions. They are used with various devices:

  1. Aroma burners with an open fire are perhaps the most common type of air freshener, and also the simplest. They come in ceramic, glass, stone and porcelain, but the principle of operation of such lamps is the same. There is a water container on top, where you add a few drops aromatic oil, and at the bottom there is space for a tablet candle. Sometimes, instead of water, special wax cubes are used, which already have one or another aroma. We should not forget that incense burners are quite dangerous due to the presence of open flame. They should be handled very carefully, especially if there are children in the house.
  2. There are also electric aroma lamps, water-based and water-free. The first ones consist of a bowl for water and heating element(usually an incandescent lamp), which is used instead of a tablet candle. The second option uses the principle of an inhaler, where essential oils are distributed with the air flow. Electric aroma lamps can operate not only from the mains, but also from batteries or USB.
  3. Aroma diffusers are becoming increasingly popular today. This device is an ultrasonic inhaler into which aromatic drops can be added. It is very convenient that such automatic air fresheners for apartments can work with different intensities. Many models also have a timer. With such a device, your apartment will always smell fragrant!
  4. USB diffusers resemble a regular flash drive in appearance. They connect to a connector on a computer, laptop or other device. They operate from a replaceable cartridge, usually reusable. It is filled with essential oil, microparticles of which are sprayed into the air

Light and pleasant aromas create an atmosphere of comfort in the house. Some bring freshness and vigor, others relax and induce sleep, while others help to calm down and relieve anxiety.

Advantages and disadvantages of homemade air fresheners

Air freshener manufacturers offer a wide variety of scents to suit every taste. Fragrances are sold in the form of aerosols, beads, crystals, liquid or gel fills. There are plenty of options. Making an air freshener will not take much time.

Unfortunately, there are no natural ingredients in these products or very few of them. For example, fruity and floral scents can be created using extracts or oils natural origin. How does the manufacturer manage to fill the bottle with the aroma of frosty freshness, sea wind or forest clearing?

  • vodka or diluted alcohol,
  • base oil,
  • aroma oil,
  • wooden sticks.

Special sticks are made from suitable breeds wood, the texture of which absorbs and emits aroma better, so their use is, of course, desirable, but not necessary.

To give the aromatic vase a special aesthetics and attractiveness, you can put in it decorative stones, beads, fir cones, dried flowers, fruits, berries, etc.
A decorated diffuser will be a wonderful interior decoration and will help create a cozy atmosphere

When choosing a place to install the diffuser, consider the presence of children and animals in the house. It is better to place the vessel where younger family members cannot reach and accidentally spill the aromatic composition. If inaccessible place difficult to find, in this case you need to use a container with a lid that can be pierced to insert the sticks.

  • balsa wood plug,
  • lace or wool thread,
  • an awl or thick needle,
  • knife or file
  • essential oil,

  2. The cork must also be cut so that it is not too long. Otherwise the smell will not appear.
  3. Make a hole in the center of the cork with an awl or a needle (depending on the thickness of the cork).
  4. Thread a string through the hole.
  5. Place decorative elements, if any, in the bottle.
  6. Pour in base oil.

How to choose the right oil and other ingredients

Before you start making an air freshener, you need to think about the composition of the future flavor. If your choice falls on the use of essential oil, then you need to take into account the properties of this product. It is well known that each aroma oil has its own properties: some heal, others invigorate, others calm, others relieve stress, etc. To choose the right oil, study the following tables.

Table: Properties of essential oils

Table: Compatibility of essential oils

When making a car interior freshener, it is better to avoid relaxing and soothing aromas. If the driver is tired, then these aromas will only increase drowsiness and absent-mindedness, which can create dangerous situations. It is better to use invigorating notes. Relaxation is necessary before bed, so oils with this property are suitable for bedrooms. Bright citrus scents are suitable for use in the toilet and bathroom, but these notes are also quite appropriate in the living room.

When using any fragrances, you must remember that even natural odors can cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, if after installing the fragrance you experience itching, watery eyes, sneezing, or a runny nose, you need to immediately remove the allergen.

  • volume of the vessel with the freshener,
  • and etc.

For example, the approximate service life of gelatin fresheners varies from 1 week to a month. A coffee sachet can last for several months. The diffuser will emit scent for about 2 weeks. All terms are very conditional.

The area of ​​distribution of the freshener depends on the saturation of the finished flavor. It is important to remember one rule: enhancing an insufficient aroma by adding a few drops of oil is easier than diluting an overly rich aroma.

Before buying another air freshener in the store, think about what this purchase could mean for your health. Isn’t it better to try to make your own flavoring, especially since there are a lot of manufacturing options.
