No matter how much you clean your home, some smells just need some Ghostbuster-style annihilation.
We’ll go through my favorite tricks to get your home smelling spectacular!
Wax melter
Grab your favorite scented wax cubes around the candle section and throw a few in your melter.
If you’re not a fan of the scents at the store or you don’t like the wax itself, grab 2-3 Tablespoons of coconut oil and some of your favorite essential oils.
Not a fan of essential oils? Grab some spices from your pantry and throw those in there with your coconut oil. Does it have to be coconut oil? It has the proper texture to melt and mix with the other things you’re adding to it…splurge the few dollars then go on Pinterest to find the millions of other uses for it!
If you want your home to smell like fresh laundry (my favorite) grab some Gain or Downey wax scent boosters.
Two options for wax melters. The plug in versions you just have to flip on and the light melts whatever is in the dish. These are usually $7-$20 depending on how fancy you’re going. The dollar store has candle heated melters for 1 whole dollar! And tea lights (tons of them) for a dollar. You can choose depending on style, budget, or convenience!
DIY Febreze
Grab some Downey or Gain scent boosters and throw a handful into an empty spray bottle, add some hot water and swirl until mixed. Spray to your heart’s content!
This is great for drapes or black out curtains that you can’t wash. It makes them smell like they’re fresh out of the laundry!
Dryer Scent Beads
Run over to the party supply section of the store and you’ll likely find a pack of these itty bitty mesh drawstring bags for a dollar or two. Now run over to the laundry section and pick up some Downey UnStoppables or Gain Scent Booster. Throw a small amount in each bag and you have portable scent boosters.
Attach them to a hangar in the back of your closet, throw them in your shoes, in a drawer, in your linen closet, on a towel rack, anywhere! They’ll last a couple of weeks and are easy to replace!
