How to Make Homemade Air Freshener With Laundry Detergent

If bleach touches my hands, they start to strip, that’s how powerful bleach is. Plus learn how to make homemade air freshener with laundry detergent and a multipurpose carpet cleaning solution to use on any surface.
I have always used rubbing alcohol to clean some areas in my house, for example, the countertops, mirrors, appliances, but I always fair use it on some surfaces because it would be too strong to just use the pure rubbing alcohol on it.
I wanted to create my own cleaning solution and homemade air freshener at home with the simple ingredients I have. I wanted it to clean or make anything smell great whenever I use any of them. After trying a lot of different mixtures, here is what works best for me when making a carpet cleaning solution and a homemade air freshener.
