A clean home is nice, but a good smelling home welcomes and invites.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Go to your local crafty store that sells things like inscence and candles. They usually will have scent oils.

  2. Step 2

    Mix scented oil with water in a squirt bottle. The more water the lighter the scent. I play around with the mixture till i find what is pleasing to my nose

  3. Step 3

    For bedrooms, i use lavender, because its a calming scent and boy oh boy does it make everyone sleep nice. I lightly spray the bedding and pillows, curtains, and carpet. Same for the livingroom or den, I use a citrus or cinnamon scent, in the bathroom (ugh) I use an ocean or wild flower scent. I use gardenia in my car. I love to brighten my home with beautiful smells that I can make myself and not spend a lot of money on febreeze or aersol sprays that dont last.

Tips & Warnings
  • dont eat or get in your eyes.
  • use lightly, oils can stain if not diluted
  • breathe deeper
