“Unlock the Secrets: 14 Surprising Hacks to Keep Your Home Smelling Irresistibly Fresh Year-Round!”
Choose sachets with your preferred scent and place them in hidden corners or storage containers. For best results, change them out every month or so and give them a gentle squeeze to refresh their fragrance.
8. Regularly Wash Bedding and Curtains
When did you last wash your curtains? Bedding and curtains can trap odors over time, so make it a habit to wash them regularly. For bedding, once a week is ideal; for curtains, once every few months should suffice unless they’re in high-use areas like kitchens.
Clean linens and curtains contribute to a fresher-smelling home by eliminating hidden sources of smells. Opt for a gentle detergent with a light fragrance to enhance freshness– your entire room will thank you.
9. Use an Essential Oil Diffuser in Common Areas
Essential oil diffusers are excellent for creating a tailored aroma that suits your style. Do you prefer lavender, eucalyptus, or peppermint? These diffusers provide a customizable option for keeping common areas fresh.
Set the diffuser on a timer to disperse the scent throughout the day, avoiding overwhelming smells. With a range of oils to choose from, you can switch up the aroma as often as you like to match the season or your mood.
10. Clean Drains Monthly with a Lemon and Baking Soda Rinse
If left unattended, kitchen and bathroom drains can harbor unpleasant smells. To keep them fresh, sprinkle baking soda down the drain, then follow up with a few lemon wedges and hot water to flush it through.
