How to Make Your House Smell Nice

Here are a few ideas to keep your house smelling fresh all the time.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Lemon or cinnamon
• Baking soda
• Spray bottle
• Rubbing alcohol
• Essential oil

1. 

   One of the simplest things you can do is simply open a window and let some air in. It will keep your home from smelling 'stale'.

2. 

   Fill a pot with water. Sprinkle either some cinnamon or shave some lemon rind into the water and let it simmer on the stove. This will create a nice gentle scent that will slowly fill the house.

3. 

   Fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and add a few drops (maybe ten) of an essential oil of your choice. Spray it anywhere that smells musty or dank.

4. 

   Put some baking soda in the bottom of the garbage can to help absorb odors. This can also be used in the refrigerator.

Tips & Warnings

• The cleaner you keep your home the less you'll have to worry about pesky odors.
