You just place it wherever you want to smell the air freshener. They work great inside your bathroom, car, or in the kitchen after cooking to get rid of the smell.

Question

How many teaspoons is in a packet of gelatin? Don't know where I made mistakes, because the gel did not form.

Community Answer

4 packets equals 1 oz (approx 28 grams). This is used with 2 cups water (approx 500 ml). You can use the ratio as per your quantity; i.e. 1 packet for 1/2 cup of water.

Question

Why can't I use flavored gelatin?

Community Answer

Flavored gelatin usually contains sugar, so it will attract ants, mold, and will rot easily.

Question

Do I have to put my gel air freshener in my fridge? Can I cover it before placing it in my fridge?

Community Answer

No, you don’t have to put it in the fridge. It just helps preserve it. And yes, cover it and seal it tightly before placing it in the fridge.

Question

How long do the air fresheners last after being made?

Nikee Morgan

Community Answer

They last a while, as long as you keep them completely air tight sealed and in the fridge. As for outside the fridge and using them, it depends on the temperature and humidity of your house, room, etc. You can google "rate of evaporation" since that is how the air freshener works.

Question

How do I make a large quantity of gel air freshener?

Community Answer

Multiply the ingredients. If you want to make a double batch, you would use 2 cups distilled water heated with 8 packets of gelatin, and 2 cups additional water afterwards, with double the scented oil.
