Freshening the HomeDrawer and closet sachets, moth repellents, vacuum fresheners, and dryer sachets are all popular natural products that you can provide for your customers, give as gifts, or use yourself.
The following sachets can be made quickly and easily with a sewing machine and some cotton fabric, cheesecloth or even old pantyhose. If you don't sew, you can easily make sachets using ready-made organza bags sold by packaging and soap suppliers alike. You can even make sachets using heat sealable tea bags.
