Five Easy Ways to Get Your Home Smelling Great



If you smoke in your home, have animals, or even have children who aren't as tidy as you are, you probably know that it's not easy to keep your home smelling as fresh as you'd like it to be. We all know that those air fresheners don't keep the smell going as long as it says it will on the can and leaving the windows open is too much of a hassle on those windy days. Well, thanks to yours truly, you're in luck. I've come up with some fast, cheap, and simple ways to keep your home smelling great, despite who you have living with you.

1. Fabric Softener

If you have a standard fan or table fan in your home, turn it on low, take a couple of fabric softener sheets, and place them on the back of your fan. The fan will blow the fragrance of the fabric softener throughout your home and it starts working in an instant. It usually lasts for about 5-12 hours, depending on the brand you're using. I like "Bounce".

Also, you can hide fabric softener in different, unnoticeable places like under your rugs, under your trash bags in your trash can, stuffed in fake flower vases, etc. The possibilities are endless.

2. Candles

It doesn't matter what kind of candle it is, as long as it has a scent. If you place 4-5 candles around your home, and keep them lit all day (with supervision) they will keep your house smelling amazing. You can buy candles for one dollar a piece at your local dollar store in great scents like vanilla, cinnamon, apple pie, and much more. One of my favorite scents is "Clean Linen" by Glade. I believe these candles run about two to three dollars, but it's definitely worth the price.
