The secret to a delightfully fragrant home: baking soda

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

Hot water for three glasses

fabric softener, 3 tablespoons

Get Ready

Before adding the water and baking soda, pour the fabric softener into a previously used spray bottle. After giving the bottle a good shake, seal it and spray the contents all about your home. This will have a long-lasting impact. Reapply the mixture by spraying it once it has vanished.

This delightful scent is just one of several natural, at-home options for keeping your house and laundry smelling clean and fresh.

A pleasant-smelling DIY clothing softener:

What You Need:

Baking soda, 10 grams

2 quarts of boiling water and 8 ounces of organic apple cider vinegar

twenty drops of an aromatic oil of your choice (lavender, lemon, etc.)

Get Ready

Put the water, vinegar, and baking soda into a plastic container and let it sit for a while to react. After that, transfer the contents to a clean container and store it somewhere cold and shaded. Put some fabric softener in the washing machine’s water tank. It will leave them smelling wonderful and feeling extremely supple.

Other astute suggestions: *Combine fragrant botanicals with essential oils.

For a few minutes over medium heat, macerate sliced orange zest, vanilla bean, rose petals, lavender, and other plant and fruit peels. After that, just add a few drops of your preferred essential oil, and the aroma will fill your house immediately.

*Another little hint for a musty-smelling closet or out-of-date clothing:

Putting wet garments aside before they’re totally dry is a common source of this. So, keep an eye out a bit more. Keep a few items in your closet: a container of fabric softener, dried lavender in little bags, squares of camphor, and bath salts that absorb moisture.

This is for your pet.

Set aside an area of your home just for your pet and make sure to clean it often to keep it odor-free.
