No one wants their home to have a “smell” unless it is described at fresh. It is always an ongoing battle to rid your home of the things that are causing the smell and adding scents are pleasing. There are many things that you can do that will have your home smelling fresh.

Nadia’s House Cleaning has some tips on what you can do to try and keep your home smelling fresh.

Essential Oils: Essential oils are becoming a bigger part of people’s lives every day. These oils can be purchased at many different stores and can be used in a diffuser that will slowly release the smell that you choose. You can also use it with a Q-tip and add small amounts of it to areas such as the bathroom where you usually need a little more good smelling scents.

Lemons: If there is stench coming from the garbage disposal you may need to take some measures to clean it. One of the ways that you can stop the smell is by cutting up some lemon slices and adding them to the disposal and running it. You can also use orange or cucumber.

Deodorize: One place that you may not recognize as a problem for odor is the carpet. You can make your own deodorizer that can be added to the carpet fibers in order to stop the odor that may come from them. You can add a half cup of borax and a half cup of baking soda with a few drips of oils that you like. Use this powder to shake on the carpet. You can then vacuum it and remove the powder along with the unwanted odor.

Dryer Sheets: Everyone loves the smell of fresh clean laundry. This is because of the dryer sheets and the smell that they give off. You can take these same dryer sheets and add them to the kids drawers to keep their clothes smelling nice and clean longer. You can also add them to a bathroom inside the trash can. You can also add them behind the AC vents so when the air kicks on it will send the smell out into the rest of the home.

Candles or Wax Burners: This is a great way to add a level of scent to your home. There are wax burners that use a light bulb to heat a tray and melt a wax that is infused with scents from fresh baked cookies to lavender.
