Kristen McGowan cooking fish or any fishy meal I put a pot on the stove with a cup of water and add 1 teaspoons of cinnamon and slowly boiled until am finished cooking makes my home smells great! Still looking forward to that shoutout my pressure kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHupoXqBgN-Nbqc

Putting a fabric sheet or pellets into your vacuum canister makes a huge difference when you vacuum the house - from a professional House Cleaner! 🥰😁♥️

[@laylacooke1175]

Thankyou so much this really helped!

[@natashak8281]

@@laylacooke1175 I know!!! Right! I'm so glad I learned that!

[@natashak8281]

@@laylacooke1175 I also thought if you want to go a more natural way you could always take all purpose spray, like Mrs Meyers and spray it on a paper towel pretty heavily and stick it into your canister as well! Because you're really just circulating the air from your vacuum and that will make the room smell really nice too and get into your carpet etc

[@ariesgirl.]

OMG! I can 't wait to try that! Thank you for the tip!

[@jennylou2676]

I really need to try this 😊😊

[@johannepaquette969]

My go to is washing all my drapes using Gain detergent and Downy Rose and Amber fabric softener. Then I hang them back on the rod wet and let them dry there. Not putting them in the dryer prolongs the time that they smell amazing and makes that whole level of the house smell SO good!

[@person-ey2ct]

Mildew?

[@izabelazajac6182]

And also you don't have to iron them

[@teatvrtkovic]

This is smart!

[@kristinejackson3602]

@@person-ey2ct no mildew I do this too, spring and summer just open your windows then in the winter the heater helps dry them and they dry in less than a day regardless no mildew ever

[@kathyeskridge]

I add a scoop of baking soda to every load of laundry! Keeps towels from smelling musty. Sam’s has the big bags of it in the baking section. Only $7 a bag and last forever!

[@latoyarussell5927]

Thanks for sharing.. I use pine sol for towels & wash clothes, when I'm washing. I cannot stand towels & wash clothes that have an unpleasant smell.

[@bpapao]

you pay 7usd for baking soda? are you buying them at the gas station?

[@divinationfacts]

For the trash can I always spray lysol in when I take out the trash and let it dry before I put another bag in. I cook a lot so I'm always throwing away meat packaging or chicken scraps that can develop harmful bacteria. This way, it disinfects plus makes it smell actually clean, not just masking it.

[@LovelyMDeAnna]

@Honey Bear same and it has to go out that same day or night .

[@ginaanderson508]

The toilet brush holder tip was a great idea that I will incorporate RIGHT NOW!!!!!😀 I just ordered a diffuser Thank you for sharing these great tips. 💕

[@ronniwalsh8985]

Great video. Thank you. Sharing my smell good tips and tricks. I put drops of essential oil on the filter of my cordless vac. as well as the bag of my Kirby. Besides wiping down the door and rim of my front load washer, I spray it with OdorBan. I also spray it on my sheets when I make the bed as well as my pet bed. Spraying it on curtains and floor mats is another good way to use it. People do a lot with dryer sheets, however, I find them to be very strong. I make my own room spray as well as after shower spray. I can spray the room spray on my fabric furniture in addition to/instead of the OdorBan. I also put a few drops of vanilla extract on the bottom of my oven and set it to warm and it makes the entire house smell yummy. Crockpot (I have a small one just for this purposed) filled with some water, lemon and orange peel, cinnamon sticks, vanilla, and clove - set on low will give you hours of wonderful scent. My favorite summer one is lemon peel with rosemary and vanilla.

[@pamelathomas847]

The bounce fabric sheets on the furniture is a great tip,I haven't seen those in years here in Ireland,maybe I just haven't noticed,will certainly look for them now

[@elainerupp3888]

My favorite oil to diffuse is Good Morning from Edens Garden. I never get tired of it!

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

I bought a diffuser and put essential oil in that. I have one in each side of my condo- the bedroom and the living room. I don't like smelling dog when I walk in the door but lavender, oh yes!

[@GlynisMarthinussen.]

That’s a super awesome trick on the inside of the toilet paper 🧻 wow

[@KristenMcGowan]

yes!! genius!!

[@chloebsc411]

Glynis Marthinussen Hi ! ☺️ As a nurse, i dont think using essential oils (wich are really strong and powerfull) near youre genital part is a good idea.... you can burn your vaginal mucosa or even have an allergic reaction. If you still want to do it, just be carreful and make sure to use a small amount of essential oils and also dont put oils on direclty on the paper ( Sorry for my english, i’m french 😅 ) Have a Nice day ! ☀️

[@GlynisMarthinussen.]

Chloé Bsc it’s not on the paper 🧻 itself but in the inside of the roll which doesn’t touch the paper.

[@parveenansari9475]

If you take a tissue and pour some essential oils on it and put it in garbage bin and then put the bag it'll make your bin smelling fresh and you won't need any special garbage bag either.😉😉✌️

[@ginasingh2527]

I was going to suggest that too! I put peppermint or lemon essential oils on a paper towel and put it in the bottom of the garbage can. Also keeps the bottom clean if something leaks.

[@lindaboo3220]

Great idea... I put a bounce fabric sheet in the bottom of my trash can before I put the bag in and that helps too.

[@TheRonskins]

Yes! I do that also. Another idea is to take bars of soap that have gotten small and you're ready to replace it, just throw the old remnant into the garbage can before you put the bag inside...I also place used essential oil bottles in the garbage can before I put the bag inside...The same can be done with your laundry basket...Just throw the old soap remnants or the used essential oil bottles in the bottom of the laundry basket and it helps keep your dirty clothes area smelling nicely until you're ready to wash clothes.

[@sairafatima85]

I put a few drops of zaflora and wet the tissue and throw it into the bin and it smells great

[@Anamarie157]

@@ginasingh2527 I agree, same here.. I also spray some on the inside of the lid, so each time that I open the bin it release the scent as well..

[@victoriatrevino1833]

[@angelicahawkins1585]

I believe that flower is a zinnia. They come in so many sizes and shapes, it’s amazing. Mixed Zinnia seeds are so awesome to spread around your garden or just have a spot with lots of them. They bloom all summer and fall, depending on your location. Perfect cut flowers.

[@STAYGROOVY777]

In the winter to get the stainless out of the house spray the furnace filter with a essential oil/water mixture. I also add tea tree oil to the mix. While it runs heating the whole house it will freshen up the whole house! Plus tea tree helps clarify the air!

[@VanessaCBklyn8]

Thank you for the wonderful suggestions. Wiping Bounce fabric sheets on upholstery is genius!

[@sherryidibo2304]

I don't have a defuser.. but I am definitely getting me one because I believe it's better than burning candles..I love those tricks and hacks so thank you for sharing this.

[@kimimep8413]

Just wanted to give a heads up on dryer sheets. They have chemicals that react with the air to create formaldehyde, a carcinogen (cancer causer). So when we use these in the dryer this cancer causing agent is released into the air and also carried all day long right next to our skin in the clothes we wear that were dried with a dryer sheet and also on the furniture we scented with these dryer sheets. Pine Sol contains chemicals that cause hormone disruption, pregnancy complications, birth defects, and cancer. I loved the hidden toilet paper roll scent! Let's fill our homes with scents that are healthy for us because breathing these chemicals all day is not a good smelling home.

[@cecif9419]

Which chemicals ?

Unfortunately, Yankee Candles was sold to a new owner who hasn't kept up the quality.

Very nice list. I would say doing all of these every day is probably on the OCD side, but doing some daily and some weekly is a good idea. Thanks for the video!

[@accalles7652]

Wipe down your tub and tile after each use to prevent mold and soap scum. I use vinegar and essential oils as a room deodorizer. It helps eliminate odors in a more natural way for those of us who are prone to allergies!

[@georgiahadjicosta2617]

Wow!I do the same with the dry sheets to my furniture. I wash my sink with baking soda lemon and vinegar. I don't use oil infusions but I add fresh peel from the citrus fruits .IN my carbage can, I add cinnamon sticks.Dew allergies, I use all natural resources for a healthier lifestyle.

[@tuikkur.5655]

I love Method cleaning products! They really smell amazing! 🥰 Unfortunatelly I don't have a dryer so I have to hang dry my clothes. It's kinda drag but there's a plus side as well. Hang drying clothes makes your bathroom smell really good for a long time, since the clothes give that fresh scent from your laundry products to the air as they dry. 😁

[@benda777nba]

Hey girl I do not own a dryer either honestly dont have the space. I don't mind though bc living in south Texas its always sunny/hot so it line dry fasts. During winter I head to my laundromat which is 4 mins away😎
