Nowadays everyone’s looking to save a buck. With do-it-yourself (DIY) household items, you’re sure to save money for the same products you’d pick up at your local supply store. There are many different “recipes” for cleaners and stain removers that you can just whip up in your own kitchen.

A popular fabric refresher that is a definite must for anyone who has pets, or just appreciates a clean house is Febreze. The household item costs around $5-6 and with this easy concoction, you can make it for around $0.15. Now isn’t that a bargain?
