Controling Strong Odors in Your Home


BATHROOMS

This is definitely one room where passive scents supplemented with sprays and candles are essential. First, if you have carpeting in your bathrooms please replace it with tile or linoleum. Even if you dry your feet after showering, the moisture from the warm water will eventually create bacteria in the carpet. If you use throw rugs, make sure they are the kind that can be laundered. The bamboo scent diffusers are my new favorite passive scent. They help with the light everyday odors. A coordinated spray is a quick fix for those extra smelly times the vent fan isn't helping fast enough. When guests come to call, light your candles for a welcome and inviting room.

Other rooms can use passive bamboo diffusers, potpourri in decorative bowls, scented candles, fabric sprays and even those timed sprays you plug into the wall. I highly recommend you coordinate your scents to suit the members of your household. What smells great to you might offend others in your family. Less seems to be more. Favorites are clean linens and lemon scents. Try prevention first including lots of fresh air whenever possible and your home will always be inviting to every nose that enters.
