DIY Chemical-Free Home Fragrance

Make your home smell incredible naturally—no chemicals needed! This cozy, pet-friendly fragrance uses fresh fruits and spices to fill your house with warmth and comfort.

Materials

  • 1/4 cup fresh cranberries
  • 3 to 4 slices apple any variety you like
  • 1 to 2 cinnamon sticks
  • Water enough to fill your pot

Instructions

  • Add the cranberries, apple slices, and cinnamon sticks to a pot.
  • Fill the pot with water until ingredients are just covered.
  • Bring to a gentle boil on the stove.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and let it bubble lightly. Keep an eye on the water level—you don’t want it to completely evaporate.
  • Refill water as needed and simmer for a few hours for a stronger fragrance, or just a short time for a lighter scent.
  • Enjoy the natural, cozy aroma throughout your home!

Notes

Experiment with other fruits or spices like oranges, lemons, star anise, or cloves.
Use a slow cooker on low for a “set it and forget it” version.
Safe for pets, but don’t let them eat large amounts directly from the pot.
