With several cat litter boxes spread in several locations around the house, we go through a lot of air fresheners. We also get tired of paying the price they want for the refills so we started filling our own using cologne and after shave lotions that were accumulating under the bathroom sinks. We put together a short video to show how easy it is for everyone to do this. Most refills use a 1/4″ round wick material that can be purchased online or at places such as Hobby Lobby. When we were at WalMart the other day, we picked up some flat wick material in the candle and lantern section. It was easy enough to roll it into a round circle and add a little tape to keep it in place. In the future we will push it up through a small diameter kids plastic straw, leaving a short section exposed at each end. On our next trip to Hobby Lobby we will see what they charge for round wicks but it’s going to be hard to beat the $.97 we paid at WalMart!
