Febreze is the best product on the market shelves for deodorizing furniture, pungent sports equipment and stinky pet odors, however it is very expensive.
This video will offer you a DIY freshening spray. It will not leave remains caused by fabric softener. You will only need 3 ingredients. Just make a mixture of baking soda and downy Unstoppables in hot water.
The Unstoppables are actually small scented beads which are added to laundry for freshness boosting without leaving residue on the fabrics. Take a funnel and an empty spray bottle and fill it with the mixture.
