Certain houseplants, like jasmine and gardenias, not only purify the air but also emit a sweet, natural fragrance. Place them in areas where you spend the most time, and they’ll do double duty by beautifying your space and keeping it smelling fresh.
12. Baking Soda Deodorizers
Baking soda is excellent at absorbing odors. Place an open box in the fridge, under the sink, or in other areas that tend to get musty. For an added scent boost, mix a few drops of essential oil into the baking soda before placing it out.
13. Boil Cinnamon Sticks
If you need a quick burst of warm, spicy fragrance, boil a few cinnamon sticks in water. The steam will carry the scent throughout your home, making it feel cozy and inviting, especially during cooler months.
