HOW TO PRODUCE AIR FRESHENER.
We are all aware how aesthetically unpleasant our
environments can be sometimes. This is not good for
man's health. The consciousness of this fact inclined us
therefore to design a formula that kills or suspends
unpleasant smells in our cars, toilet, bathes or even
offices. This is used along with cleaning detergent or
even sprinkled on objects to give or environment a
pleasant odour.
CHEMICALS
i. SULPHONIC ACID: This is a dark brown highly
viscous liquid. It functions to neutralize the caustic soda
solution and consequently create a room for perfume
absorption.
ii. CAUSTIC SODA: It is also called sodium hydroxide.
it exists as solid pearls. It has a very high solubility in
water, dissolving to give basic solution. It functions to
promote the absorption of perfume by the mixture
since the perfume is of oil base.
iii. FORMALIN: This is a harsh-smelling liquid. It is the
disinfectant in the formulation. Germs, bacteria etc. are
eliminated by this chemical. Formalin should be treated
with care as it is very harmful to the skin.
iv. COLORANT : This gives colour to the formulation. It
should be noted that just a small amount of colorant is
needed.
v. PERFUME: Perfume aromatises the mix and confers
pleasant smell on the product. The type that appeals
the manufacturer suffices for the product.
CHEMICALS MEASUREMENT
Caustic soda pearls -------- 1 spoon
Soda Ash ---------------- 3 spoons
Sulphonic acid --------------- ½ cup
Formalin --------------------- 1 teaspoon
Water ----------------------- 4 litres
Perfume ------------------ to taste
Colorant --------------------- to taste
METHOD
Wash and drain mixer. Clean also your filter with soap
and rid it of dirt.
Measure the specified quantity of water into the mixer
and follow it with the specified caustic soda pearls. Stir
gradually to dissolve the pearls. At this stage the
solution is expected to generate some heat. Then
measure sulphonic acid into the mixer and increase your
stirring rate.
Stir till it mixes completely with the caustic soda
solution. Now check the PH paper correct if necessary,
to ensure the acid is neutralized. The PH must lie
between 7 and 8.
Then add formalin and colorant. Stir well to mix
properly and finally add your perfume which forms the
base of this product.
Allow the solution to dissolve for 24hours then filter the
solution and package immediately and cart for sales.

Cosmetics production business is one of the businesses
that are very lucrative nowadays. Think of how many
cosmetics products that are consumed everyday. If not
for business purposes, you can as well learn how to

What do you mean by ..perfumes and colourant ...to taste?

You didnt state the difference b/w your spoons and teaspoons....table spoons,dessert spoons or what.

Your post should be censored.this is not the place to teach people such things..it should be done in the lab under very strict supervision.
People will get seriouly hurt trying out what you just posted here..it is highly dangerous..
Some will abuse some of the materials listed above.
You didnt say how you dispose of the waste and by products.
You didnt say what sort of colourants and perfumes and the potential carcenogic effects and ecological effects of the above.
People can abuse what you,ve just posted to harm themselves,others and the environment.

If you want to teach people such things,organise seminars and conduct your teachings in a safe and controlled environment..

Im concerned cos i,ve seen lots of fake and dangerous products out there and its because some people have this knowledge but abuse it and they,their products and their practice are never monitored by the S.O.N. and NAFDAC effectively...

Nice piece. Bro please do you know anywhere I can get the chemicals- especially the perfume?
