Over the last few weeks Earth Day has been foremost in our minds here at BnBFinder. We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about all the ways that B&Bs are contributing to the recovery and health of the planet, and absorbing wonderful tips on being green from innkeepers all over the country. One easy to implement suggestion many innkeepers discussed with us was making the switch to Earth Friendly cleaning products. We know that cleaning is an obsession among many innkeepers, and we want to share this fun recipe for making your own air freshener without any damaging chemicals.

This recipe is simple, and easy to follow but leaves a lot of room to show off the personality of your B&B with a signature scent.

Mix 1/4 cup baking soda with water in a spray bottle. Next add 10 drops or so of your favorite essential oil like Pine,Frankincense or Cedarwood. Shake well and spray. The baking soda will absorb the odor and the essential oils will add a unique scent to the room.

Essential oils are made from natural plant and herb ingredients, and they smell wonderful. You can experiment with mixing several different oils to create a signature smell for the rooms at your B&B. This is a nice to way to have guests remember the wonderful time they had staying with you whenever they come across a similar scent in their daily lives.

Please take a second to leave us a comment if you try our recipe, or have a favorite scent we should know about.
