@@user-pm4ef8yu7w if you want a treat, take a lemon or orange and cut it into quarters, use it for cooking or whatever, then run what is left of it through your disposal (assuming you’ve removed the seeds already for its other uses). It smells SO.GOOD. I have a hierarchy of uses for lemons in my kitchen, after you use it to make a chicken dish pop you can microwave a bowl of water with a lemon wedge in it and then EASILY wipe clean your microwave, then you can boil lemons in your non-nonstick cookware to get the residue scrubbed off of them easily that builds up in the bottom, then you toss that sucker into the disposal and grind it up to get a lovely smelling kitchen for a few hours. My husband loves it when I do this, so much so he uses lemons before I get to them just to get to that part. Anyways you can do this alone and it’s great, and if you’ve been using your disposal for food this will help clean the blades and keep it smelling nice. I also like to do baking soda plus vinegar in my drains followed by running hot water for a minute to keep ‘em from getting funky. It’s honestly just a nice little thing I like to do for me, half of the time. The little things, right?

We went on vacation many years ago, and the house we had rented hadn't been aired out in quite some time, though it had been cleaned. When we went in, we were overwhelmed with the smell. We went to the grocery store, and I picked up a bottle of vinegar, we went back to our rental - I put it in the bowl on the kitchen table, opened some windows, and we left for a few hours. We came back - no odors at all. Smelled fresh. This works like a charm, and very quickly.

I put a paper towel to line the bottom of waste paper baskets and my kitchen trashcan. I put a few drops of essential oil on the paper towel. Rosemary, geranium, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon etc...depending on how I feel. Dual purpose. Keeps the bottom of the can clean. I replace the towel if their are any drips or leaks from the trash bag and helps reduce odor by keeping bacteria count down. Of course, empty trash daily.

I live out in the country, but not too close to farm animals. I live in CO and open my windows especially, this summer we have had good amounts of rain and the temps at night in the mid 50's to 60's. I have a cat and scoop his box once a day. I never smell anything bad there. I don't have any particular scent, but I do like lavender essential oil. I just cleaned my furnace filter for fall coming up. I occasionally use murphy soap to clean my wood cabinets. That will remove any film from cooking smells or other smells in the bathroom. Cleaning clothes and bedding is a must as well, regularly. Thank you for all your wise cleaning advice!

I want my house to smell like fresh white flowers, not strong at all, just a gentle wisp of it. I recently found Lilly of the Valley Essential oil and I started adding 4 or 5 drops on our front door mat and everytime I come home I get a suttle hint of them. It seems the longer the oil is there it smells better so about 3 days in, it smells so soft and clean.

That's an awesome idea! I've used some drops on my light bulbs, a hack I learned several yrs ago, and normally use lavender in our bedroom.. I also sprinkle a few drops on my pillow, inside the pillow case. In addition, in the pillow cases, and pillows, throw or sleeping pillows, and bedsheets, I also sprinkle some baby powder & dryer sheets. I learned that from my Grandma, that passed away when I was only 13, (Wow, 40yrs ago! Just realized that) but I remember her room always smelling sooo fresh, and she told me about that "secret". No one knew what "life hacks" were at the time, but it makes a HUGE difference. I did it in my boys rooms while they were growing up, and now in my grandson's room, especially right before he comes over for the wkend. I want my house to always smell FRESH, like linen-fresh, rain-fresh, like O just did a bunch of laundry, and you can smell all the fresh laundry throughout my house. I know very little about essential oils...I wonder if they have a linen scent?? That fresh laundered, linen on the line smell makes me feel like my house is spotless clean, even if I only halfway cleaned. The snell makes it feel like I scrubbed the entire house from top to bottom. I even used to take a shower gel, lotion & body spray or perfume in the same kind of scent when Bath & Body Works were still in business. Miss that store!!

I'm a cat lover as well and all of my life I've battled with the litter box. About a year ago I finally bit the bullet and purchased a Litter Robot. I swear I have only one thing bugging me since I bought it, THAT I DIDN’T BUY IT YEARS AGO! It is genius!!! It works like a charm and I haven't scooped a litter box since. It even empties the litter for you when you want to change the litter. I also go through about 1/5 of the litter I use to with 2 cats. It took about a month for the girls to get use to it. I kept their box next to the robot. They were very nervous about it and I was worried but they eventually warmed up to it and now they love it. They don't dig like they use to or spray litter everywhere anymore because they know it gets cleaned in a few minutes. My life is so different now with that dirty job gone forever. I purchased the one with the wifi program so that it notifies you if there is a problem. I've never needed it in a year. 🤷🏼♀️ I chose the cream coloured unit and it looks so good and never dusty. I will say they are expensive but 100% the best money I've ever spent for my cats. I just thought I would mention this to you because I know what a struggle I use to have and now the girls 😸😽 are really happy and I'm beyond happy.

I use the breeze litter system. It has a pad below that absorbs the urine. You change out the pad weekly with one cat. The top of the box has cement like litter that is changed out monthly. To save money you can use pinto beans instead and change more often if you like. My trick is to sprinkle baking soda on the pad each time I change it. It is in a drawer below that the cat can’t access. It really helps to control order between pad changes. Once a month the cement litter is changed. I spray the whole box with a enzyme spray called Bac-Out by Biokleen. I let it sit for 5 minutes or longer. Then it’s all rinsed with hot water. During the winter I run a small air purifier next to the box also.

@@margaretf6147 Definitely more work and effort. I don't have a laundry tub to rinse out any litter box materials. I will say that the litter robot has zero odour issues because the litter drops into a lower sealed compartment. I literally only have to slide the drawer open pick up the bag filled with the waste and place a new one in and close the drawer. To empty I press a button and the litter drops into the waste drawer and bag, I pick it up and put a new bag in. The best part is the litter box doesn't touch the waste at any point so it requires little to no cleaning. I just add a scoop of fresh litter every few days to the drum because it does eventually require refilling but that is about the extent of my efforts every couple days. I change the waste bag weekly and that takes less than 2 minutes at the most. I also have no additional costs other than regular litter and glad kitchen bags that I use for the waste liner.

I drop lavender oil all around my door threshold down my drains in the bathroom(yes they come up through the drain)on my closet floor, anywhere I know where they have been in the past. It works amazingly, they reall don't like the smell of lavender. I've also planted lavender on my flower bed right outside my door. I guess you have figured out by now, I DON'T LIKE SPIDERS! On a side note, my house doesn't smell like lavender.

They’re especially great for people who have a hard time remembering to change their filter because it can be done by the tech when they have their annual or bi-annual furnace maintenance appointment.

I once bought a diffuser but decided to throw it out before I even took it out of the box, when I heard how most oils are very dangerous to animals (which, as you mentioned, is the primary source of odors) - they have a much more powerful sense of smell that, although oils may not kill them instantly, over time damage can be done to their bodies, so much so and so slowly you may not corelate the two. I know some say there are some that are safe around pets - but, frankly, I don't take that chance. I'm all for odor elimination - as you mentioned, however. I hope you strongly warned people in your book. My other concern is if oils can harm animals, isn't it possible it can harm us and we don't even realize it - like a miner's canary.

@@tiny.terrorist.negotiator Sorry to hear about your situation. Before going out to spend money on an Ozone generator and air purifier… there is a lot of danger and hazards using the ozone generator without proper knowledge and training. Read up on it and speak to a professional before approaching that method. If the neighbour scents are making its way into your home there may be a problem with the building code and ventilation.

This is what my vet uses in her clinic. My cat was having alot of wheezing going on when I was using any litter that was scented. My vet told me not to use scented litter. I sometimes add baking soda also. Another thing is I add a doggie pad under the litter to absorb urine but find even urine clumps very well with Tidy cat. You can get 40 pounds for $23.

This video came at a perfect time! My Hubby and I were working away from home and we were gone for 5 days. Our house was closed up and when I came in it smelled stale. Not bad but just not how I wanted it to smell (BTW...I want my house to smell like fresh air or neutral). I'm really not sure what the source of the smell is. I live in a home that was built in 1900...we have done renovations and made it into our dream home. Our crawl space does have an opening into our main floor so that may be the cause of smelling stale. I do keep my home pretty clean. I may try charcoal or baking soda. Also, I think if I would have left a fan on while we were gone it would have circulated the air preventing the stale smell. I'm interested to know if anyone else has experienced this with their home.

I've been a pet & house-sitter for years & noticed that when no one's home full time , the doors and / or windows not opening &closing often enough , houses may not smell bad , but don't smell fresh either . First off , I make sure all garbage & waste cans were emptied & clean as folks would be in a hurry to leave & forget this . Then I'd regularly / daily open windows when I was at clients' homes doing different tasks ; I'd also do what I called a "welcome home prep " the day before or day of clients return - lots of fresh air , windows open , ceiling fans on , lemon scent or whatever the client used rinsed down kitchen / bath drains /toilets . Pet dishes sparkling clean & if possible , I laundered pet bedding . One weekend or one month , I wanted it to be nice to come home to .

I hate that * bed * smell. I keep a few house plants inside and basically just keep the house clean. I have basic cleaning prodects in a cupboard in every room of the house, so I'm not running back and forth to grab what I need. I keep bedroom windows open just a couple of inches all year round and try to have the front door open even just a couple of inches in winter to keep the air flowing. I live on top of a mountain where the air is very clean and fresh. That also helps eliminate odours. Odours are caused by bacteria so again keep your house clean and most of the problems are solved.....I had a cleaning business for just over 20 years, I like cleaning.

We have a vacation rental cabin and I prefer it to smell like nothing as you say. This to me means we are not hiding or masking anything. While I love nice scents, when our housekeeper gets done it smells good. It doesn’t matter if the house isn’t cleaned right. Often times I am redoing the cleaning after I inspect. When I leave after cleaning, there is little to no scent. I am big on using varying strengths of Dawn, vinegar, water and sometimes lemon juice for everything floor to ceiling except the toilet. Some guests leave behind more odors than others and I will use a linen scented disinfectant spray on the entire house. I find opening windows running the ceiling fans and changing or airing out the bed coverings and throw rugs will freshen the inside air better than sprays. If its not clean, it doesn’t smell clean. We are in the woods. I would prefer a natural woodsy smell if I had a choice.

Artificial scents from washing powders and those tumble drying sheets always smell too strongly and just not as nice as something dried in the garden. In winter that can’t be helped, but I do an extra rinse to rid my clothes of the detergent scent when I can.
