Cleaning expert Rocío Verdugo has shared a specific recipe for a homemade spray designed to keep homes smelling clean and pleasant for extended periods. The mixture consists of 200 milliliters of water, 200 milliliters of cleaning alcohol, and 100 milliliters of fabric softener. The spray is intended for refreshing various textile surfaces in the home, including sofas, upholstered armchairs, curtains, cushions, rugs, blankets, and general upholstery. The product is sprayed onto these fabrics to impart a lasting fragrance. Rocío Verdugo highlights that the alcohol content facilitates faster drying and contributes to disinfecting surfaces, although she clarifies that the mixture should not be considered a scientifically verified disinfectant. Because the alcohol is diluted, its efficacy depends on the final concentration and is not equivalent to dedicated disinfection products. While the homemade spray offers a fragrant solution, Verdugo emphasizes that maintaining good textile hygiene remains fundamental. Regularly washing sheets, ensuring they are completely dry before storage, and keeping wardrobes ventilated are essential practices to prevent humidity and bad odors. The spray adds fragrance but does not replace regular cleaning or eliminate the root causes of unpleasant smells. [1]
Verdugo explains that this combination allows homeowners to create a signature scent for their living spaces. She notes that the choice of fabric softener is critical, as it determines the final aroma. Individuals can select scents based on personal preference, with recommendations including cotton, mild soap, or white flower fragrances for those seeking a fresh but not overly intense scent. However, users are cautioned to test the mixture on an inconspicuous area first. The combination of alcohol and fabric softener can potentially alter certain delicate fabrics or leave residues. It is not recommended for use on sensitive materials without verifying compatibility. Safety precautions include avoiding application near open flames or heat sources due to the flammability of alcohol. Users should apply the spray in well-ventilated areas and shake the container vigorously before each use to ensure the ingredients are properly integrated. [1]
