Does anyone have safe tips for keeping a home smelling fresh?
Our home always smells great! However, we have utilized the plug-ins and some people have shared that this could be hazardous if a dog would chew on it. I purchased a diffuser, but I haven't found the right oils maybe? I don't want people to smell "dog" when they arrive at our home. Suggestions?
I have found that good old-fashioned BAKING SODA works great on the carpet and pet bedding, which is where the majority of the smell comes from. Just sprinkle on about 30 minutes before vacuuming. Freshens the whole room. You can sprinkle some in the litter box as well!
I've just become great friends with my vacuum. I use 3 drops lavender in my diffuser and it works great! I have also used peppermint.
I mix Vinegar and water in a spray bottle and use a Steam Mop. Vinegar is great for removing odors and dirt. We brush our dog after he has been walked and I vacuum his pet beds. When he gets a bath, we wash all of his bedding, also.
“Purification” essential oil by Young Living is the only thing that has permanently removed odors in my home. Not our favorite scent, but after several days of diffusing, SUCCESS! A clean house, clean dog, clean bedding are also essential.
