After Bug was born, my Dad gifted me the services of his cleaning lady for a couple months (best.gift.ever.) and every time she left my house, it smelled amazing. Not just clean, but AMAZING. Like clean, sun dried laundry, a meadow of wildflowers and fluffy clouds. Seriously.
So one day I asked her. And she told me. Equal parts Suavitel Liquid Fabric Softener and water in a cleaned out spray bottle.
Spray it on your couch, rugs, carpet, curtains. And enjoy the best smelling house you’ve ever had!
I’ve never tried it with any other fabric softener, but I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. But Suavitel is fairly inexpensive, which is probably why the cleaning lady used it.

now this sounds like a great idea…i don’t use softener due to ‘septic’ system but love that smell…
What a great idea! Please share the water to softener ratio.
Equal parts. However much water you pour in, pour the same of softener.
I make my own laundry detergent but am not sure about this one being a good idea. yes it would make things smell good. BUT fabric softeners leave a residue (even after rinsing) that may actually build up and attract dirt or leave an icky film after a while. its why they say to rinse your towels with vinegar to remove residue or your towels will lose their absorbency.
