Sorry if not the right place to post!
I have loads of plug in air fresheners by different companies, i'm wondering if anyone has re-filled their own & how? I can't remember where all mine came from so don't want to go out and spend a fortune on the wrong ones! I think some are tesco own some could be from asda, i have no idea & they don't say on them
Thanks

    The cheapest air freshener is to open the windows. Also helps with dampness, which the commercial air fresheners can't do!

    You can make your own pot pourri type easily, not sure how you would go about refilling the plug-in type - but I'd be wondering why you need so many?

    Really depends how they work - if it's as simple as them slightly warming a liquid to produce a smelly vapour then you could probably stick a drop of essential oil in some water in them.

    But I agree with the poster above - I just open windows! I can't stand the smell of most commercial air 'fresheners'
