A fresh smelling home is a pleasant home to be in; it lifts spirits and can
make you feel better even on rough days. Unfortunately, daily life can leave
your home smelling not so fresh. Fried foods and pets are just a couple of
things out of many that keep your home from smelling fresh and these smells
can make a person irritable, so it is worth it to rid the odors and bring in
the aromas. Here are a few tips to help you rid unwanted odors and get your
home smelling fresh:
~ If it's not too cold outside, open the front and back door of your home to
air out any stale air.
~ Soak a cotton ball with essential or aroma oil, perfume or vanilla and put
it into your clean vacuum bag or canister. When you vacuum, it will release
the scent.
~ Dab essential or aroma oil onto light bulbs; when they are turned on, the
heat of the bulb will release the aroma.
~ If you have odors from cooking lingering, be sure to clean up the cooking
mess as soon as possible; this will help the odors to dissipate sooner.
~ Candles nowadays can be richly scented. I like the ones in jars because
you can simply remove the lid to release the aroma of the candle rather than
burn it.
~ Car air fresheners aren't only for cars... hang them from lamp switches,
kitchen cupboard knobs or other hangable places.
I hope these tips help you in getting your home smelling fresh. If you'd
