Essential oils are flammable, some oils have a flashpoint of about 102Fto 130F. Running a dryer on low usually is about 125F, medium to high is 135F. So though it is unlikely, think of this- Kerosene has a flashpoint of 115F on clothes. A better way to help make bedding smell good is to put a cotton round or natural fiber with essential oils on it and place it near where you store your bedding. Love you Kiva, I just want to make sure people are safe and know the risks. ❤️

Yes, as you said this it seems unlikely but you never know. My family has experienced more than one fire over the years, two were electrical so I've always been very cautious. I prefer room sprays and will only occasionally use candles when I'm in the same room.

Hi Kiva, Please check with your veterinarian before using essential oils, they can be toxic to pets. I got rid of all my diffusers for this reason. Also, I stopped using all fabric softener/dryer sheets because they leave a film on fabrics which keeps them from being absorbent, especially bad for towels & athletic clothing. I use vinegar instead, the smell does not linger once the items have dried.

Some of these tips are sadly a huge no-no if you have birds too, they're especially sensitive to any kinds of odors. We keep our house smelling nice by making sure to air things out regularly and sometimes putting a pot on the stove with some aromatics (cinnamon, lemon peel, etc).

You missed the most obvious way to make your home smell good. Open your windows every day for at least a few minutes. In Germany, this is often required and written into rental contracts. I believe it is a means of mold prevention but it has the added benefit of making your home smell fresh.

While plants are good to have in your home you would actually need around 10 plants per square meter for it to actually have an effect on air quality, and plants also use respiration (they use up oxygen and produce carbon dioxide) when it’s dark. So if you want cleaner air you would be better of with an air purifier. But plants are really good for your mental health. If you have a lot of plants you produce a green environment which will boost your happiness. So plants are good, just not for improving the air quality in your home :)

The best thing I do is to open my windows and doors as much as possible depending on weather; I use the simmer method, lemon peels in the garbage disposal, once a month I use the baking soda/vinegar and follow with a pot of boiling water to flush. I had an ant issue last summer and used cinnamon powder around baseboars, window sills away from pets. I also used peppermint oil/cinnamon oil and water spray, not only did it repel ants it made the house smell good. lol

WARNING RE PAINT WITH SCENT: Do not use the scent-added paint in any room that has high humidity, like your bathrooms. That scent additive will leak out in the humid air, and leave drips down your walls that you can see. If you have wainscoting or any kind of ledge, that stuff will collect and be a sticky yellow substance.

I'd definitely add when it comes to trashcans (especially kitchen trash) to clean them sometimes. Doesn't need to happen everytime you take the trash out but overtime the trashcan itself can start to develop a smell from having trash in it so even when the bags empty there's still a stench. When needed I give it a good rinse, put some nice smelling cleaner in with water to let it soak, then rinse it again and let dry, really makes a difference.

Definitely. Also use smaller trash cans and only put non smelly stuff in there, like recyclables, the stinky stuff can be stored in fridge in something like a 2 qt water pitcher lined with a bag from the produce department. When it gets full you just throw it into the trash bin. I usually put the mess that meat comes in, that styrofoam thing, back in the freezer until garbage day.

I’m normally not a big comment person but I’ve got a lot to say today 🤣 Great idea on the essential oils on the wool balls. . I like the dryer idea with lavender Washing Machine: Our front loader washing machine is a NON-stop problem. We keep it open and it still gets moldy and musty smelling. I clean that dang thing constantly 🤦🏼‍♀️ I will never own a front loader again due to this issue. Candles: Thanks for the candle company recommendation. I often buy candles that smell so good but never give off a great scent. My best luck has been Yankee Candles little candle tarts. Air Filter: I often spray some BBW Home fragrance in my air filter as it’s running. It makes the whole house smell amazing. Dissipates rather quickly though. Simmer pot: What I just started doing is mixing water with liquid fabric softener. It makes my house smell SO FRESH! Garbage disposal: I have a juicer and sometimes I juice extra lemons before they go bad. I put the juice in an old fashioned ice cube tray to freeze, put them in a zipper bag and pop one in the disposal as needed. They aren’t as hard as ice and have worked well for me. Sachets: Instead of sachets, I put a dryer sheet in my trash and in every single clothing drawer 👍🏼 Thanks for your videos. I enjoy them a lot ❤️

I place one of those scent envelopes from Kirklands between the air filters and grates, everytime I change my filters. This is especially nice in the entryway, laundry room and hall. Thanks for the great content KB 😊

As someone with allergies, I'm in the no added scent camp. I had to leave a bridal shower b/c the hostess had some scent in her house that sent me into a sneezing fit that I couldn't stop. I had a headache for a day afterward.

Candles, diffusers and essential oils: how many VOC's do they put into the air you breathe? Do you take VOC release into consideration before you recommend air "freshener" products?

Agree. Not for a healthy home. And if you have a sensitive nose, they will make your life miserable. Scenting your wall paint seems like an especially misguided idea. Kiva usually has such good taste but I think a lot of scent in the home is actually tacky and it's not welcoming for some of your guests.

For my trash cans I add some fragrance oil (I use Better Home & Garden from Walmart) to a cotton pad & rub inside, outside & on the lid & to my vacuum filters. Next time you go to throw something away or vacuum you'll get a pleasant smell.

Thanks for all the info! I love candles too! My fav brands are Tyler and Circle E. Tyler candles put off a lot of fragrance! Their Kathina scent and 24/7 Glam are so good, and they are a neutral smell, not too feminine and not too masculine. French Market is their best seller thought and I can only leave that one burning for a short time since its so strong. You should try those brands, I bet you would love them! I am def going to try some of these tricks in my home!:))

House Scents : splash a little of your eau de toilet on your bath mat, spray the toilet when you depart, the alcohol in the spray reacts with the water and the smell explodes into the room instead of coating the room in deodorizer. I burn premium Japanese incense instead of candles, Myrrh is very atmospheric.

I've tried a lot of candles. My husband knows what aisle to stop in. Partylite tealights fill my rooms better than the $80 jar candle he gave me. Supposedly they burn cleanly. Just saying, it's a good option for quality candles at a reasonable cost, even if their holders are tacky and overpriced.
