Money Saving Air Freshener

Rather than purchasing a store bought air freshener save some money and make your own. Next time it's time to change the toilet paper roll, put a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender, on the inside of the roll. The smell lasts as long as the roll does. I also save the rolls for the kids to decorate and then use them around the house for a few days as an air freshener. It's a great way to save money and show off the kids' art!

Good Smelling Rooms

When emptying a garbage can, add 1 or 2 fragrant dryer sheets to the can before replacing the liner. It will instantly make a bathroom or kitchen smell better and last a long time!

Sanitizing Carpets

To freshen up my carpets, I sprinkle baking soda onto them, wait 10 minutes, then vacuum. I also use baby powder from time to time, for a fresher scent.

Magazine Perfume Samples

Open the perfume samples that are inserted in magazines, and put them under the liner in your trash cans. They emit a wonderful scent that lasts quite a while.

Smelly Sneakers

Do some people in your house have smelly shoe issues? If they do, you can take a fabric softener sheet and put it in their shoes. It can stay in the shoes even while they're wearing them. Change the sheets as needed.

To get the odors out of your microwave place a saucer in the microwave with a little water and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Start the microwave for 1 minute.

"Common Scents"

A great way to freshen your linen closet is to tuck scented dryer sheets between the towels, bed sheets, etc. The scent will freshen your entire closet and linens will be nicely scented when used. You'll also save on air fresheners! After time, rather than discarding used dryer sheets, which usually still carry a light scent, you can place them in your family's undergarment or clothing drawers instead of sachets or perfumed soaps!! Either way, you'll be using "COMMON SCENTS"!
