Lavender dryer bags double as natural car air freshener

Anna's hack is pretty impressive given that SOME of us can barely keep our car clean:

A sweet smelling hack for the summertime car! The Lavender Dryer Bags from Trader Joe's are sold as a natural alternative for dryer sheets, but I keep one in the back window of the car. The sunshine helps release the fragrance of lavender, just like in your hot dryer. Mmmmmm -- makes the car smell great, especially after a road trip.

When they lose their potency in the back window, sprinkle the bag contents on the floor mats, then vacuum them up. One more hit of lavender!

Now THAT's news I can use! Our car smelt of something rotten after beach camping (even when I did the responsible mommy thing and cleaned it!)So we bought one of those tree-shaped fresheners at Target...ewww! Vanilla-lemon overkill. This sounds like a GREAT alternative and I'm gonna try it today.
Just found your site. Mentioning it on WalletPop.com. Love it!
