@seejanedrill I just came across your channel and subscribed. I quit using the plug ins because it got too expensive every month. Was costing me $50-70 at least every few weeks or so. I never thought to do this. This is awesome and I can choose a wider variety of scents. Thank you. 😊

[@S.MountainMan777]

Leah really love your presentation style and think you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for your help in making “Things” a little easier and understandable In a very unnecessary confusing world…On a side note not a hugger albeit sending you a warm, healing bear like Embraces.

Hi Leah, Im retired gal and just watched 1st time. Sub right away. This was great thank you...Linda❤

[@winwin2433]

Thanks Leah. Love your videos. I'm a 72 year old woman and this week I removed an old toilet and installed a new one all by myself. Thank you for helping us singles save money!

[@elevenfiftynine]

That is encouraging. Congratulations,

[@56dh]

Wow! You go, girl!!! Love your attitude!

[@MoonbeamAcres]

That's impressive at any age, but most definitely when you're over 70. Wish I had been there to help you and learn from you.

[@winwin2433]

@MoonbeamAcres it wasn't easy, but I persisted. Next one will be easier!

[@seejanedrill]

Way to go !!!!

[@meowfoolery]

Saving money and reducing waste by reusing the containers? definitely a win-win for me ❤🎉🎉

[@semisweetcaroline]

Just a tip: many essential oils are toxic to pets skin or if ingested - be careful to not drip and keep out of reach of pets. Best channel on KZbin I have learned so much!

[@eicrusade6161]

Breathing them is a source of exposure too. Really unhealthy for everyone.

[@adriankoch964]

This. Even a diffuser in a room where a cat has access to will cause particles to eventually end up on it's hair and then be ingested.

[@netdoom]

Actually there are major studies that show essential oils are very bad for you and it’s mostly complete bullshit.

[@bmiles4131]

My outlets have cat pheromones in them. Those are 6x higher than fragrance. Cats aren’t even grateful. 😂

[@Glam_Gritty]

I was thinking the same thing inhaling too

[@MEVigna]

I have saved my AirWick plug-ins in the hopes of finding the “recipe” for refilling them. Thank you!!!! I’m off to refill the lot!

[@ramonalee1]

It doesn’t work. If you try it, use very little to see if your wicks will actually wick.

[@Kennykoo65]

Your videos are so easy to watch. The intro scene is 2 seconds, no fluff, right to the point, bam.......you do a great job....

[@seejanedrill]

I appreciate that!

[@eukaryon]

Your videos are edited beautifully. Continuity, content, relevence, each video progresses, each scene adding to the story. And you never talk down to the audience, I have not seen you denigrate alternative procedures or products. Raw knowledge is wonderful. The ability to communicate that knowledge is exceptional.

[@adm6785]

I've saved most of the empty bottles to put in my closet and drawers since they still smell good. The amount of refills I'm gonna make today is gonna be INSANE!! Thank you!!

I was just about to spend another $13 to replace my air fresheners. So glad I found this video!

[@mr.atkins1984]

Protect Leah at all cost. She is a true jewel to us. I know the big guys hate this!

[@sharihenderson7621]

Make sure you buy quality essential oils. Most are adulterated, lavender being one of them. 2 of the best companies are Original Swiss Aromatics (the best!) and Aromatics International. I've been using EOs for 20 years and learned who is reputable and who is not.

[@jljohnson9438]

I can't believe it is this easy and inexpensive. Thank you for the tip.

[@gregorriusadolphus2729]

THIS is going to be how I spend my Friday night! I have a few old Glade plugin and a bunch of random essential oils from a diffuser.....this is gonna save so much money! Thank you for this!

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

How about just diffuse the EOs? No oil needed either

[@MeLrOsE429]

I absolutely love this. I used to buy wallflowers from bath & body works but can't afford them . We started buying the store brand like what you showed in the video but they are outrageously expensive too....and this helps our one income family so much!

[@leeslees65]

They're having an incredible sale right now - $2.75ea!!!

[@kaf9765]

Thank you. Not only it is more cost effective, it helps reduce waste. The best part is you can get more natural ingredients for more authentic fragrances. I love the idea of these plugs, but always grow sick of the artificial scents... regardless how many scents I've tried... Now my struggle would be to actually finish one bulb to refill...

[@Kobe8DaGreat24]

I’m glad I never threw away my old plug ins.

[@sargentking2436]

I just found your channel and love your work. Yes I did Sub!!! Salute Retired Female Veteran.

You can make your own room spray with vodka and your favorite scent oil in a spray bottle.

Heck with that idea. I can see someone drinking down the vodka instead.

You have such a good energy around you. I just stumbled upon your videos and in the first 2-3 seconds I could tell you are a very peaceful empathetic and positive person. Thank you!

[@michaelj.c.peters557]

Great idea. One other benefit - The ones we have used are really much stronger than I think they need to be, with your technique I can tone it down a bit by using a few less or more drops. Thanks (again) Leah.

[@nancymabry]

What a great idea! Especially since it seems like lately with everything we buy the price goes up, the quantity/quality goes down. Leah..you’re one of my favorite KZbinrs! Keep doing more videos!

[@Maki-00]

But, with the amount you pay for an essential oil + a carrier oil, you can just buy a refill!

[@CynVee]

Thanks Leah. It's always great to save some money but nowadays it's a must.

[@seejanedrill]

Absolutely!

[@tonysutton6559]

What a great tip. What has annoyed me for ages is that the supermarket sells the full kit complete with plug for less that it charges for refills. However, they only ever put one full kit on the shelf at the most and often they claim that they are out of stock forcing you to buy the more expensive refills. I'm looking forward to our refills running out so that I can fill them with lavender oil to match the natural scent we get from the bushes that I planted by the doors and windows.

[@MsTemptation]

Wow, I honestly didn’t know about this. Thanks for sharing because I have a collection of essential oils. That’s worth a cup of coffee.

[@trishfitzpatrick2066]

Such a nice video! I love your energetic vibe plus your straight forward presentation.

[@Tazzyone.]

I still love your channel for teaching me how to clean grout lines. I clean airbnbs and you made me look like a genius! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

😊

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Link?

[@Ho11is2Ho11ywood]

I used to do this years ago and some plug in companies started making it impossible to take out the wick. Damn shame. I use electric diffusers and oils from Amazon. It comes with a remote, ambient light and you can set it on a timer. For areas I don't have furniture to rest it on, I still do this. I like Lemongrass and Grapefruit

[@adama1294]

In those situations, You might still be able to refill them with a small needle syringe.

[@phina8392]

I know, same as spray bottles, I used to fill with cheaper brands 😡..

[@adama1294]

A trick I have seen with essential oils mixing with water comes from diy soda syrups recipes. You dissolve the EO in ethanol (Ever clear or the like) first which will dissolve totally in it. Then you add the water which alcohol has no problem dissolving into. By the time the EO is in the water, it is in so tinny of droplets that it will not reconstitute into a separate layer. This is why homogenized milk fat does not separate from the milk into different layers.

[@Imanimal-lover]

Hello 🎉 Nice hack - will try 😊 I put a couple of scented wax cubes on a small plate on my window sill. The sunlight warms the wax cubes and scents my room for quite a few days --- maybe 30 days even. 🎉🎉🎉

[@jennfrench-glick100]

loved that you used essential oils instead of those nasty chemicals in the actual plug ins. I tried this with the Pura but i didn't work. going to try with the Plug ins--thanks Leah!!

[@cybermavenmusic]

Thank you so much! This is a great money saver!

[@MarLindaPerez-s1i]

What a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing. Just the other day I was looking for something non toxic/natural to put in my home and couldn't come up with anything, much less affordable. This is the perfect solution! I'm going to try this out!

[@mcmike446]

I sometimes worry that messing with "stuff" is dangerous and/ or dumb. Thank you for the lesson. I appreciate your clear instructions and the list of don't use oils. PS. Southpaws rock!

[@Luna7-v1p]

Make sure if you have pets that you look up which oils are safe

[@seejanedrill]

I agree

[@beckywebb1916]

There are no essential oils that are safe for cats.

[@bibleteacherDOTorg]

@@beckywebb1916that’s why I like dogs

[@bspoon5041]

Thank you everyone for making these comments. Retired now but worked in veterinary medicine emergency and critical care and I can't tell you how many pets both dogs and cats also birds can suffer adverse effects from essential oils. Birds specifically can actually die. No salt lamps around cats!!

[@queenie4937]

​@@beckywebb1916is spearmint essential oil okay( same brand as her peppermint one from walmart? I only have it in the waterless diffuser in bathroom . Google is giving mixed signals but I keep my bathroom doors close and dnt keep the diffuser on all day I only sometimes turn it on to spray out two puffs and it usually last

Looking forward to trying this with peppermint oil. I've heard peppermint is a natural deterent for pesky critters, from spiders to mice, and I love the smell! Thank you so much for this ❤

Absolutely love you Leah. I just purchased 4 candles for $40 gift cards. I received for Christmas. I will be now making my own plugin which I also have in different rooms. Thank you as usual. Vanilla is my scent.

[@Justbrowsing2023]

Very good idea!! I have this same plug ins and they only last 2 weeks. You best believe I’m trying this next time I need a refill!

[@jstu8]

GREAT idea! I wanted to add an obligatory warning for pet owners in addition to your list of essentials not to use- if you have animals double check that the oil you want to use is not toxic to them as well. Animals have certain specific sensitivities. It can be toxic & cause breathing distress, seizures, & kidney failure. Esp for small dogs, kidney failure peculiarly in cats, I’m not sure about birds. Personally, I try to use the plug ins in moderation & avoid plugging them in in areas they often frequent (near their beds/ litter boxes, etc) or plug them in low at their level, although some pet caregivers prefer to avoid them altogether. This video was a great idea!

[@mikeregimenti4438]

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years and I always learn something new! Keep up the good work.

[@seejanedrill]

Thanks, will do!

[@stacyjomcdermott693]

What a great hack! This could have saved me a lot of money if I knew about it sooner. Thank you for sharing!

[@harpintn]

Great tip. We quit buying those over priced air fresheners years ago.

[@leapintothewild]

🤩 I can’t tell you how much I love this!! I just finished 4+ yrs renovating my 1938 house, literally refinishing every surface - so it smells fresh! But it’s on a slope so the single garage and utility cellar are underneath, so the very old concrete and dirt floors, along with the old joists and original rock foundation leak smells up through the oak hardwood floors and sometimes STINK, esp in the heat and humidity of summer. I’ve tried everything, finally gave up and added some citrus plug-ins, but at full-strength they barely last a month and are VERY pricey when you’re using ten of them! I already use diffusers in my house and have lots of high quality oils, so I’ll be making my own from now on!! I esp love this because the readymade citrus is way too sweet, so i like to add mint or something foresty to it. ❤❤❤

[@shelleygarcia2042]

Try adding Cedarwood essential oil for that foresty smell. Not only does it smell delicious, it repels many insects, including moths and mosquitoes :)

[@lechatbotte.]

Genius. I have a different type of air freshener but I bet I could do this with it as well.

[@TK.000]

I'm totally going to do this! Thank you! And if you like color, add a drop of food coloring.

[@laggybum3218]

I figured this could be done since you could open the bottle. Thank you for showing us how! Time to make myself some spiced apple scent!

HEY LEAH!!!!..IT'S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE I'VE TUNED INTO YOUR CHANNEL... I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU AND I'M GLAD THAT I 'M STILL AROUND TO TUNE IN...LOL..... THANK YOU FOR TIP, TRICKS AND HACKS! LOVE YOU!

[@aprildegele1510]

I'd never have thought about that, but I don't know why. I make my own "before you poo" spray in just roughly the same way for just pennies. Need a squirt bottle, essential oil of choice, rubbing alcohol (as the carrier), liquid dish soap and water. This is a total eye-ball recipe. Half fill a spray bottle (whatever size) with water. Add as much or as little essential to your liking. Some oils aren't as strong as others. Add about a tablespoon of rubbing alcohol (for an 8 ounce sprayer), screw the lid on and shake the snot out of it to bind the oil to the alcohol. Open the bottle put a few drops of dish soap, fill the rest of the way with more water. Recap and SWIRL to mix. Don't shake! it will create foam. The dish soap works as a surfactant to keep the spray spread out on top of the water so that the smell doesn't escape. Before use, swirl, not shake, spray before you go. Easy.

[@seejanedrill]

Thanks for sharing this

[@lorimckellar2787]

I used this same idea with those new mist fragrance things. I kept the bottle and made my own, worked just as well.💜💜💜

[@dittohead7044]

Sweet almond oil is great for earache pain. Just a few drops and use a bit of a cotton ball to keep it in. It won’t cure an ear infection but it made my kids a lot more comfortable

Thank you so much for this, in this day and age to save money anywhere is a bonus, and I cant tell you how much I spend on these things, I have lots of essential oils from other things I make but never thought about these and what makes them work, I have now just made my own (thanks to you) of a sweet vanilla sugar & Cashmere fragrance refill with Avocado oil that I had in my pantry, I'm just thrilled and doing a little happy dance 😍🥰❤❤

[@jeanmader2302]

I LOVE, lavender mixed with peppermint. There is an old recipe from Paul Harvey, and that recipe repels bugs. I made a fresh batch without the beer, sprayed it on, and trimmed shrubs without a bug bothering me. I USED Pachiolli, mint, and mouthwash. Pachiolli is in Cinnabar cologne, and I wore it to a bonfire party, where EVERYONE, EXCEPT Me, was being bitten by mosquitoes. I can remember the mosquitoes would plop on my body, and take off, immediately. After thinking about it over the few days of the party, I began to wonder what was in Cinnabar that mosquitoes did NOT like. I looked up the ingredients in that cologne, abnd learned that Pachiolli was in it, looked it up, and it repels bugs.

[@adama1294]

A good place to find essential oils are a good price is to look up places that sell supplies for making soap or candles. They will sell the essential oils by the gallon if you are so inclined. (I top out at 1 pint). The soap places will also sell carrier oils since soap is made out of them.

[@seejanedrill]

Thanks for the info!

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Those are not EOs Those are scents, perfumes Very bad for u like what’s in the Wick or Glade or whatever brand to begin with

[@cee8mee]

I have another tip, something like this: Swifter* type mops that spray. The refill is very pricey. I buy floor cleaner concentrate, the one recommended for click vinyl, and refill the original bottle. The trick- the cap needs to be heated up significantly, like with hottest running tap water for a several seconds. Use a small towel and wiggle it off to fill. After several re-fillings the lid gets leaky and you need a fresher bottle. I've had great success getting more by simply asking around. I paid about 3x what one refill bottle costs for a gallon of concentrate that makes more floor cleaner than I'll use before I...well, there's a lot in there. Good luck! *yes, I spelled it wrong, but that's how I say it, because that's how I roll. Lol
