I liked what you said about how food and things that linger can make things smell weird and making sure that everything gets cleaned regularly could be really useful. My brother has been thinking about getting some apple freshener so that it can work a lot better smell nicer. Getting some from a professional could be really useful and make sure that people enjoy his home more.

I really love your advice to throw some herbs and spices into a pot to create a truly amazing smell throughout your house. I will have to try this in my home. I am thinking of starting up a retail store, and the space that I am looking into renting has an unusual smell. I wonder if there are commercial scent diffusers that could help me since.

Keep a bowl of vinegar next to the stove while you’re cooking! My great grandmother always did this if she was cooking stinky foods (broccoli, cabbage, fish, fried foods) and it worked great. She also used the exhaust fan above her stove and cracked a window just to be sure nothing lingered

No matter the weather I open the windows for at least a few minutes to air it out. In the winter I tend to just do one room at a time so if I’m making the bed, I’ll open the window for at least five minutes. I am a huge huge fan of yankee candle wax melts and use a warmer in my living room. Upstairs I use an oil diffuser, I’m currently diffusing vanilla and cinnamon and it smells like I’ve been baking all day (I have not, in fact I’m still in pajamas drinking coffee it’s only 10 am). For Christmas my sister made these baking soda and EO jars to gift and I love them! I sprinkle it on the rugs and furniture and then vacuum it up. Dryer sheets at the bottom of garbage cans work well too, I use a free and clear type just for that reason since I use dryer balls for my laundry.

My parent’s dog has been peeing a lot in their basement lately. So, I like that you explained that baking soda can help absorb the smell. It might be smart for them to get a professional to come and treat the odor as well.

I remember watching a video for a DIY home fragrance using small glad containers with lids, I have the lids and for the life of me I can’t find your video. I’ve searched on youtube and your website. Please! Please help me find it, I bought the containers for that purpose! Lol!

Yes, that is true! I used all types of oils in my cleaning products – until I read how dangerous that is for cats. Their body can’t process the oils and they can be extremely toxic for them. My research came up with the following cat-safe scents – rosemary, cedar, lemongrass. I hated the cedar and wasn’t crazy about rosemary so any cleaners I make and scent now smell like lemongrass! Please spread the word!

Hi Melissa:-)
I love your videos and cleaning tips…
Me too, I really like the scent of essential oils but I’m looking for a way to “make my home smell great” for more than just a few hours… I would like to smell the scent right when I come home without having to dispense the scent first. Unfortunately reed diffusers do not work for me, I’ve tried so often, but they don’t diffuse the scent of the EO.
I use high quality 100% pure EOs…anyway:-(
Thanks for ideas and tips:-)
Coco

Can I use lime instead of lemon for the stove top simmer? ( the one with vanilla and rosemary ?)
