Try This TikTok Hack For Fresher Smelling Furniture
By DEMETRA NIKOLAKAKIS
TikTok user Vanesa Amaro, known as vanesamaro91, is a housekeeper with a knack for DIY projects. Vanesa's DIY fabric deodorizer is made from everyday household items, so you won't need to spend an arm and a leg to keep your home smelling amazing.
To make her fabric deodorizer, Vanesa combines 3/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol, and fabric softener. Although Vanesa does not provide exact measurements for the fabric softener, she notes that you can add more or less depending on how much scent you'd like on your fabrics.
Vanesa then sprays the deodorizer on her furniture, and the odor is gone, as the rubbing alcohol effectively kills the smelly germs. Since Vanesa has three dogs and uses the mixture on her own couches, you can be sure that it's effective.
