9 Ways to Make Your Home Smell Good
6. Clean that carpet
Have you been putting off carpet wash for long? You can see its effects now. Here is an easy and quick tip for odor-free carpets. Sprinkle baking soda on your carpets and let it sit for at least 15 minutes before vacuuming. Soda has the ability to soak up odors leaving your carpeted areas smelling fresh.
7. Go for natural aromas
If you love natural aromas, you do not have to go too far. Your kitchen is the best place for natural smelling fragrances that can also spring up your home. Cinnamon sticks, dried lavender and other herbs can be pleasantly fragrant, natural and easily accessible. Alternatively, you can also add nice smelling herbs in a pot of water and leave it to boil. Reduce heat and simmer to spread some lovely fragrance.
8. Rub vanilla extract
Vanilla extract is one of the easily found ingredients in any home. Rub some vanilla extract on a light bulb. Turn the light on and when the bulb heats up, a waft of sweet smelling vanilla will fill the air.
9. Go orange
Here is a cheap, easy and effective tip from re-use. Cut an orange in half, scoop out the pulp and add salt to the scooped out portion. Leave it at strategic corners of the room for fresh smelling areas all day long.
While a number of incenses and air fresheners can be bought from the store, they almost always smell artificial and do not last beyond a few minutes. Some are even too harsh to give you a headache. Follow these simple, quick, inexpensive and efficient tips to make your home smell good.
