Simple tips to make your home smell good

19.1.2023

Of course, we all want our home to smell good, and every home has its own special scent that we would like to enhance. But sometimes it might feel a bit musty or even that there is an unpleasant smell. There are many things that can affect the smell in your home such as cooking, pets, if you don’t take out the garbage often and how often you clean. Here we give you some tips on how to make your home smell good in a simple way.

1. Cleanser with natural fragrance

Today there is a huge range of cleaning products with lots of different scents. However, some of them produce almost too strong a scent that takes over your home. Our tip is that you use cleaning agents with natural fragrances. They often provide a milder and fresher scent in the home. The advantages of it are many.

  • People who are sensitive to scents do not react as strongly to them.
  • Reduces the amount of chemicals in your home.
  • The cleaning agents are often gentler on the hands.
  • You can mix your own cleaning agent or fragrance spray.

2. Use scented candles

With a scented candle, you combine the cozy factor that candles provide with also getting a good scent. However, it is important to think about which scented candle you use. Some cheap varieties have an artificial scent that creates discomfort instead of providing a pleasant scent. They also usually have a shorter burning time. A tip is that you invest in larger candles to get more burning time.

3. Spray scent

A popular variant to make it smell good is different fragrance sprays. As with cleaning agents, we recommend that you buy sprays that are made as much as possible from natural substances. Since it is sprayed into the air, you will inhale it and then you want to avoid harmful chemicals. In bathrooms, it can be practical to have an automatic fragrance dispenser that sprays out a pleasant fragrance at regular intervals.

4. Scent sticks - both for decoration and smell

Something that has become very popular are scented sticks. They are simply small sticks that you put in a small container that contains a scented liquid. The sticks then absorb the liquid and then spread the scent. If you want a lot of fragrance, buy one with many sticks. However, they not only spread a good fragrance, but they are also a stylish interior detail. Also, much nicer than many of the air fresheners that come in plastic containers.

5. A and O - first clean sources that give bad odor

Regardless of which of the above you use, it doesn’t help if certain things in the home are not kept clean, but they will spread unpleasant odors. Some common sources that you should clean regularly to reduce that risk include the following:

  • Trash can
  • Dishwasher
  • Washing machine
  • Sewers and floor drains
  • Animal cages and litter box

If these are not cleaned out properly, they can give off a really bad smell. All should also be cleaned regularly and thoroughly scrubbed.
