When someone walks in your home you would like for them to say it smells so good in here what do you use. We have used this for years and it even covers up the dog smell.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Get a big spray bottle fill it half way full of your favorite smelling fabric softner. Add a 1/2 cup of gain detergent or your favorite detergent. fill the rest of the bottle with water.
Step2
Shake the bottle up and spray all the curtains, fabric, flowers, and carpets.
Step3
Repeat process everyday. Light one candle that is your favorite scent for 30 minutes at night and your house will smell like you spent hours cleaning it.

Tips & Warnings

  • Using gain detergent works better then any others.
  • Downy fabric softner will help the smell stick to the fabrics.
  • Do not drink or swallow.

on 2/18/2008 Hi!
Instead of spraying fabric softener and detergent on everything in your home - a better idea would be to use dream tarts. they are little wax discs that scent your home 24/7!!!
I've tried everything to make my home smell better and nothing ever came close to dream tarts!!
It's so easy...you just drop your favorite scent in and the wax disc warms in the warmer and scents your whole home.
i have a smoker in the house and all my clothes used to smell like nicotine and stale smoke...even my dogs fur smelled like cigarettes. NOW everything smells great ...even my clothes and dogs!! LOL
I just know if you try them you will never go back to sprays, plug ins, candles or deep cleaning (LOL).
My hero is my friend Sam who told me about these! I love being home now and everyone says the same thing when they come to my house....WOW, your home smells great!
I wish someone w
