10 Easy Ways To Make Your Home Smell Fresh Every Day

A house that smells fresh and beautiful is more inviting and comfortable and you don’t always need to spend money on air-fresheners to get the desired effect. There are other ways to keep your home breezy and smelling great.

Open the windows.

Before anything, open a window to let the fresh air in. You should do this every morning, even if for only a few minutes. If the weather is nice, then take advantage of that.

Decorate with flowers.

A beautiful bouquet of flowers will make your home smell beautiful and it will also help define the overall décor. Flowers are pretty to look at and you can display them in vases on the coffee table, on the counter or on a shelf.

Clean the carpets.

Carpets and rugs attract odors and at some point they can start to smell pretty bad. Eliminate the existing carpet odors using baking soda. Sprinkle baking soda on the carpet and let it sit for a while, then vacuum.

Eliminate pet odors.

It’s possible for your pet to leave a little something for you on the carpet every once in a while. If it’s liquid we’re talking about, then use paper towels to absorb all the liquid, then rinse the area with fresh cool water and remove the excess water with a wet vacuum or with paper.

Use furniture spray.

Keep the fridge smelling great.

To get rid of unpleasant odors in the fridge, you can fill a bowl with fresh unflavored oats which will absorb the smells. You can also use coffee beans.

Use room spray.
