We usually use commercial air fresheners to hide unpleasant odors in our home. However, in recent years, various media have increasingly begun to talk about the dangers of such funds. But it turns out there are tons of ways to make your home smell good
Fabric softener
This product not only softens the fabric, but also gives it a pleasant scent. If you need to quickly get rid of an unpleasant odor in the house, then hang a few sheets or diapers that have been washed with air conditioning in the rooms. The fresh scent will quickly spread throughout the room. If you don’t like to use fabric softener when washing, then pick up a detergent powder with a pleasant smell.
Oil burner
A wonderful invention that allows you to quickly fill a room with incense. Essential oils, which are often used for an aroma lamp, are much more beneficial than the chemistry in an air freshener. Pick your favorite scents and change them periodically depending on your mood. It is worth remembering, however, that some oils and fragrances (such as citrus fruits) may be allergic to some people. Don't want to mess with the lamps? - Buy scented candles.
Soda
It perfectly absorbs unpleasant odors. It can be poured into a small plate, drop a little essential oil into it if desired and put in the kitchen, where, as a rule, there is a rich palette of both pleasant and not so pleasant smells. For the best effect, the plate of baking soda should be changed regularly.
Herbal sachet
The fact that special sachets are put in the closet with linen for a pleasant smell is no longer news. But why not use a similar technology in more necessary places for this? For example, in the kitchen. Collect the smelling herbs (mint, basil, lemon balm, eucalyptus, etc.) in one cloth bag. And just shake it as needed. By the way, so that dust does not settle on the bag (as well as on sachet bags in the closet), worsening its action, it is recommended to wash it regularly.
Tree branch
Do you like coniferous scents? Amazing! Why is it necessary to wait for the New Year holidays? Bring a sprig of coniferous wood into your home and place it in an opaque vase. And for a more spectacular aroma, pour a little concentrated solution of potassium permanganate on the bottom of the vase.
Citruses and fruits
Fresh fruits, especially citrus fruits, have a unique scent that fills everything around. A wonderful oriental aroma is obtained by sticking a few cloves or a sprig of cinnamon into an orange or tangerine. But if you are allergic to oranges and lemons, then try to arrange plates with sliced quince slices around the room. She also does a good job of scenting the air.
Natural moisturizers
Plain flavored water refreshes the space quite well. Place any ceramic dishes filled with water on radiators, radiators and drip a few drops of essential oils there. So you humidify the air and fill the house with pleasant aromas.
Scented shoes
Sometimes an unpleasant spirit exudes shoes, especially in the demi-season. To solve this problem, special scented shoe bags or ordinary, dry tea bags, which must be put inside shoes or boots, and left overnight, help to solve this problem.
Iron freshness
The ironing process will also help to partially get rid of unpleasant odors, if you drop a little aromatic oils into the water for the iron. Both the linen and the air around you will smell good.
Flower fleur
Warmer seasons begin, which means flowers will become more affordable. They are perhaps the most wonderful and aesthetic flavors. Plant as many flowers or shrubs in your garden as you like the scent. You don't have to cut huge bouquets - even three to five flowering plants will make your home smell. Better yet, have nice-smelling houseplants.
All of the above tips will not be effective enough if you do not first eliminate the root cause of the unpleasant odor (dirty item, "surprise" from your pet, rotting food waste, etc.). Try to keep your home clean, ventilate more often, knock out carpets, mattresses, pillows, preventing unwanted aromas from sinking deeper into them.
