How To Make Your Room Smell Good

I’m an odor freak. I like things that smell good, and I like to smell good myself. I def­i­nitely love a house or a room that smells good. That is why I have pot­pourri, and essen­tial oils on hand all the time.

But how do you elim­i­nate odors from the room if it already smells bad? How do you “de-stinkify” your home? Here are very prac­ti­cal solu­tions that are also envi­ron­men­tally friendly from Re​-Nest​.Com. The orig­i­nal arti­cle is here although I have added to it already.

• First of all, go to the root of the prob­lem. Try to deter­mine where the bad smell/odor is from — throw out old food, take out the garbage, run the garbage dis­posal, clean smelly shoes and dog beds, change the cat box.
• Open all the windows
• Soak a cot­ton ball in clove oil, lemon extract, pep­per­mint or vanilla extract; place it in a plas­tic bag or con­tainer with holes, and place in the smelly room
• Boil lemon or orange peels in water, and let stand
• Leave a bowl of white vine­gar in the room
• Run orange or lemon peels through the garbage disposal
• Boil cin­na­mon sticks
• Put drops of vanilla or essen­tial oil on light bulbs. I also spray cheap cologne on light bulbs just before turn­ing it on.
• I soak my mop in fab­ric soft­ener and use that to mop the floor.
• If you have car­pet, use car­pet pow­der and let sit for at least an hour. Then vac­uum. That keeps the room smelling good for days.
• Use reed dif­fusers. They’re inex­pen­sive, no need to light a can­dle and you don’t use electricity.
