For a quick Fabreeze hack: I take an empty spray bottle, put in some of those scent booster beads, (I like Downey April Fresh), and fill with hot water. Shake until beads dissolve. Tadah, quick scented fabric spray without needing to buy extra product.

I use my used dryer sheets (because they still smell good) and tuck them in between my couch cushions so that when someone sits down and they get that whoosh from sitting down, it smells like the dryer sheets. I just check them occasionally and when they lose their smell, I change them out. Bonus...everyone knows something smells good but they have no idea the dryer sheets are hidden between the cushions!!

Yankee candles are the best and the scent really carries. Also, Dollar Tree bar soaps like Yardley are great for putting in your closets or drawers for a soft clean scent.

@kellydobberstine5011 6 жыл бұрын

Just found your channel and loving your tips and tricks! Here's a tip for you.... When your candles have burned down you can stick it in the freezer to loosen the wax. Then carefully break the wax into chunks with a fork and use them in your wax burner. Why buy 2 products especially if you enjoy the scent from your candles? Don't let the leftovers go to waste. Also then you can remove the label from the candle jar and use it to store your wax chips. The Bath and Body Works candles have such a pretty jar and lid to display (or tuck away) your wax chips, cotton swabs/pads, small bathroom items like hair ties and clips, tweezers, etc.

This is helpful! I've frozen my candles before to loosen the wax but just so I could keep the candle jars for storage. I never thought of using them for the wax burner! Thank you!

Thank everyone for awesome ideas. I love a nice smelling, clean home without the pricey tags. I like the dryer sheets in the sofa; I use them when bed linens at the corners at every linen change. Also, my husband places them in a little ( map holder ?) compartment on the car door, the car smells wonderful, not overpowering.

@grogers511 7 жыл бұрын

I buy the Yankee car jars for the bathroom sometimes - Clean Cotton. And I have a Scentsy warmer in the bathroom. I like the scented sachet granules from Fresh Scents. The Laundry Line scent is a favorite. I get these from BedBathBeyond. I use them in my vacuum or tucked here and there in organza bags. I use baking soda and vinegar also. I try different things. Opening the windows. I've even simmered pine-sol on the stove top simply because I like how it smells. But - I've also simmered cinnamon sticks and nutmeg on the stove too. Especially at Christmas.

I was told by a friend of mine who used to work at a dry cleaners that you can use the scent booster beads melted in hot water on any clothing items that say "dry clean only."Just spray it on anything that can't go into the washing machine. Then either hang it to dry or pop it in the dryer. I've tried it and it works like a charm and smells A-MAZING!!

@Wii505 5 жыл бұрын

I know that this video came out in 2017, but one thing I use to make my home smell good is essential oils in scent plug ins. To use them in scent plug in (like the wallflower,) you got to pray open an empty scent plug in refill bottle, take out the wick and pour in the essential oil(s) of your choice. Then, after that you will want to close up the bottle with the wick in place and use it like the ones you can get from the store or you can put the cap back on for a gift to someone or just for later use.

Just be careful what oils you use around pets. Some can be pretty toxic to them. Absolutely love a clean smelling home, but having dogs and a cat and learning about different oils around them, I'm way more cautious about which scents I use. Which does sometimes suck bit do to the fact some of my favorite scents are on the toxic list.

I use essential oil diffusers and the smell doesn’t linger in the air very well. I kind of gave up using my diffuser and I’ve used all kinds. I just don’t understand how people actually get their whole house smelling good with essential oil diffusers. I can see a small space like a bathroom but in the living room nobody can smell anything.

Those fabric softener sheets are also good to use in the linen closet and in SHOES (it really keeps them smelling nice). I put them in my husband's shoes at night. By morning, his shoes smell great! I've also heard of putting one in the pocket of your jackets or coats. Also, some vanilla flavoring in a cup in your microwave and turn on the microwave for a few minutes before company is due. (When I was in real estate, we did this before an open house). And of course, simmering some cinnamon sticks, apple slices or clove or a mixture of them on the stove will make it smell beautiful for fall.

Nice video! How I keep my house smelling fresh: remove any old food from my fridge, freezer, or pantry; take out all trash, wash dishes, wash laundry (including towels and bedding), clean toilet, disinfect flat surfaces and vacuum floors. Febreze every room and especially couches and curtains. Cook/bake something that smells delicious and sweet like cookies or French toast. Open windows for fresh air. :) Also we have used a Moji Life (which like a Scentsy I think you have to get through a consultant). But it smells quite fresh and we noticed a huge difference in our house that we moved into because it used to be overrun by cats... it uses a fan to blow essential oil smells out and can be controlled using the Bluetooth on your phone! We like it a lot.

@jeffchapman9867 5 жыл бұрын

This is my opinion. A scented home doesn't mean your home is clean, deodorized, and sanitized. They say bacteria causes odors. I personally like my home to smell free and clear. Lighting a candle doesn't sound like a bad idea once in awhile. But masking the smell of odors doesn't mean your home is clean. Even if you're masking odors. You'll always get a whiff of those odors even if your masking them with scents. I find that baking soda does well absorbing odors. Put one of those refrigerator baking soda boxes in your car and the odors go away. If you have a lot of carpet in your home you might have to sprinkle some around. But I heard someone saying that baking soda isnt good for a vacuum cleaner motor. I'll have to read the owners manual on mine. And you want to know what always works well when your vacuuming, and maybe better than baking soda on the carpet? Is a vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter on it. If you're really trying to fight odors. The hepa filter is essential. It filters the air in your home as you vacuum. The vacuum cleaner is sucking air and blows out clean filtered air. They use hepa filters in hospitals. But a good vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter isn't cheap.

@kirstieb8025 3 жыл бұрын

Jeff Chapman i agree. it’s not good to mask odors. i always use clean burning soy candles that are non toxic. and yes baking soda works well. but the best is spraying vinegar all over the rugs, sofa, air or leave a bowl out and odors will go away. then the vinegar smell will go away soon enough.

TIP: I put my laundry scent boosters in a small mason jar that has tiny holes in the lid, and put that in my car! So when it's hot outside the wax melts and my car smells amazing! I loved this video! I'm a very clean and organized person so a stinky home is a no bueno for me lol. I have a large dog and cat so I vacuum everyday (my cordless Dyson is the best thing to happen to me lol). I also do not allow my dog to get on any furniture. I know this is a touchy subject for people, but I don't like trying to relax on a couch that smells like a wet dog haha. Nor do I like walking to peoples homes that smell like animals, I'm very sensitive to smells. I love when my guests comment on how great my house smells. Bath and body works is the way to go! I don't care for the plug ins. I buy their candles in bulk when they have their half off sale, and use my coupons on top of that deal, super cheap! Everyone always assumes that I'm baking upon entering my house, lol nope it's a candle.

We have 3 dogs and use Walmart brand wax and even use scent beads in the burners, too. We also put dryer sheets under/behind couch cushions. We put the beads in the linen closet but I put them in panty hose (a lot cheaper and smaller than delicate bags). My husband puts used dryer sheets in his shoes after the gym to keep them fresh. I sprinkle the carpet powder in the bottom of the trash can about every 3 months.

Big fan of baking soda. I like to get own jar add baking soda with few drops of favorite essential oils at the time. Shake it up really good then sprinkle on the carpet. Like defussers and essential oils, however with having dogs and cat have to be careful what scent essential oils you use around them. Some are very toxic can make you pets ill. Good idea to look it up or ask your vet what is okay to use around your pets. Some might be okay around dogs but not cats and visa versa. Love your ideas and thank you for this video.

I use 100 percent essential oil, I put 25 drops in a spray bottle of water, I put 25 drops into a screw top container I fill with baking soda. I sprinkle the baking soda on carpet for 30 minutes before I vacuum them. I use lavender, be careful to only use pure essential oils and that are safe for pets. Google it.

My 1st time to watch your video I love it and how up bear you are and some helpful hints! I also love bath & body , Zebra candles also work (have to go through the hassle of finding someone and ordering those also) Yankee candles worth the month ( bed Bath & Beyond) places like that... also I have used the dryer sheets in my drawers also and places that you want the scents to last also! In top of the vacuum when I do that I put the beads! A friend of mine also has told me about the air fresheners she puts in the closets also in places like the ottoman and also in the bottom of the garbage can then put the bag in and put a dryer sheet! One last thing I know that you don't always know when company can come over a little bit of the fobreeze in a pan with water to a low temp just to make it smell linger on the kitchen would also work or water , oranges, lime, ginger , cinnamon sticks, & rosemary also several things for that fall that's great oh and cranberries also! That smells really really great for this time of year fall & Christmas also !!! I hope some of my thought have helped you out and some that have been passed along to me also!

I recommend Yankee candles, I've been using them for well over 20 years and yes I know their a bit pricey but they are so well worth it. Lastly I loved your ideas on where to put fabric softener sheets, I would love to add 1 more place. I like putting them in my pillow cases. Not only does it smell amazing everytime I lay down, it also seems to relax me after a long day. Thanks again for sharing your life with me. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

You can re-use old candles by melting (make a new candle) or freezing (Making candle wax cubes). I have tried the oil diffuser. It works wonders if using potent oils. It can be health beneficial and help change a mood. doTERRA is the infuser I use. It can run up to four hours. The oils are expensive but I feel they are worth the expense.

I must let you and all of your viewers know that the best candle products come from OUR OWN CANDLE COMPANY. My son told me about them years ago and they are the only candles, melts, aromatherapy's that i use. I even worked at BBW for 5 years. So much cheaper than all of the more expensive brands. Try them and i think you will be pleased and save a ton of money. Again, i really enjoyed this video and all of the comments.

The best candle that I have tried and love are Partylite candles. They burn alot longer than other candles as long as u light them correctly and dont blow them out but instead smother them out. They may cost little more or not. For example a tealite normally burns only 2 hours Partylite tealite burns for 4hours and smell great.

Although I like bath n body candles (especially fall) I am really sensitive to phthalates in fragranced products. So I typically use essential oils in a diffuser - usually spearmint, peppermint, orange, & lemon. I use Now brand and buy bigger bottles. We have no carpet in the house and that helps as well. We also have an air purifier in 2 rooms and it helps a ton with pet odor and keeping a cleaner home - plus the white noise is peaceful to me.

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I was hunting for something safe (that I haven't already tried) to remove dog odors when I came across it. I hope you don't take offense, but I just wanted to suggest that perhaps you would think about how often and how much of the chemical laden products used. I won't get into the effects in the long term, you may already know or perhaps you'll look into it. I am a huge fan of white vinegar, baking soda and lemon (especially for the disposal). I also use essential oils. Please be aware that there is a lot to learn about them and they aren't for casual use, especially for and/or around a small child, but animals and yourself, too. Cheers to a happy, healthy and clean home!
