CLEANING EXPERT SHARES SECRET SYSTEM TO CLEAN FASTER: th-cam.com/video/TqHX3pTeRdg/w-d-xo.html
Your “Enzyme Cleaner” link goes to a soap product.
💌 Peppermint essential oil is my fav in the kitchen to add 5 drops or so to a bowl of white vinegar, it helps freshner the air in a pantry or anywhere needed. Spruces up your baking.
What are some alternatives to expensive oil releasing “plug-in” devices. I really like them but the are becoming expensive. Thank you.
@@buzz469 I like the plug-ins too! They can get expensive. I use a bowl of white vinegar with some drops of my fav essential oil to create a good air smell. You can set it out on top of the frig or in a pantry, peppermint is nice, it creates a good baking inspiration.

My best friend and I have a deal... if we smell something funky in each others home we tell the other person. No hurt feels. You can not fix it if you have gone nose blind and can not smell it.
Now that’s a best friend!
Hahaha”, nose blind”.
You guys are such good friends!!!! 💕
I tell anyone who's house I go to. Lol I can't do funky smells and I can do a lot of the fake smells either. So I always just ask. Oh. What's that smell? Not rudly. Just the tone where they think I might like it. Lol
@@t0nyab.760 you are very intelligent...An IDEAL way to handle an awkward topic, well done! :)
I absolutely love the smell of freshly washed and dried linens
My cats do too 😬
Same I love that smell
My favorite smell ever
Literally, the best
Definitely my favorite as well :)
The smell of fresh laundry such a satisfying smell
Better than the smell of new carpet?
Agreed. Especially if it's been dried outside.
What is fresh laundry supposed to smell like? 😭 please don’t say Downy
@@MrKevosmin like softener

This is possibly the first cleaning/lifestyle channel I’ve seen on TH-cam without a loud, obnoxious host. I love that you deliver the information in a matter of fact way without shouting at the camera like a lot of other hosts do! 💗💗
Anyways, you’ve got a new subscriber!
shes got a microphone 😆 im sure others dont too

I’m getting my vents cleaned every 6monhs
I’m so happy you my

Ever since I got a coffee grinder my house smells like a coffee shop. Pretty much what I hope Heaven smells like.
🤗❤🤗
You, Madame, are a woman after my heart!
Lorna Oyarce 😆☕️
Nice :-)
Anne P. Coffee is in heaven. I just know it is 🥰
Morning: fresh coffee
Daytime: Jasmine
Nighttime: Lavender
This is my favorite 💖💖💖
Same!
Lots of work 😉
I’ve always hated lavender scented thins it smells like mildew
@@estephanieleos4479 because it does 😉
Vacuuming is actually my FAVORITE house cleaning chore. ☺️ I love the humming sound of the vacuum and the beautiful clean lines that it leaves behind. I think my first love of vacuuming began when I was an adolescent. My best friends mom had a formal living room with white carpeting. The lines of the vacuum were always in the same direction and her home always smelled like baked goods. Lovely.
I like vacuuming too but I dont like the sound. I think it is very satisfying to get so much dust up
Omg so do I!!! My always remain my grandma used to do the lines on the carpet. I was mesmerized... Now I absolutely enjoy it .and never want to walk on it. 😂
Besides ventilating, taking out the trash in time, cleaning the trash bins on a regular basis; I also wash my curtains and pillow cases on the couch. Cause the more fabric materials you have in your home, the more odor they catch. It is really nice to wash them from time to time.
True
Trash can cleaned regularly. So important 👍 I like cleaning but deep in my heart I know it's a waste of time and better things could be done but never underestimate evil of your trash bin 😉
Yes, Agree
What do you use to clean your trash bin?
@@avapilsen all purpose cleaner but vinegar will do too :)
Citrus is definately my favorite,(bergamont-grapefruit-lemon combined),but fresh laundry and baking are a close second! 😉
We ❤️ Bergamont!
Yum
I'm a Lavendar girl! Love the scent, love, love, love the color! 💜
Lavender x lemon is sweet and sharp and I love it
I agree, as well as opening the windows every day - even in winter..
My fave scent combos are lemon & lavender or an orange & cinnamon mix..
I dream of opening a door and smelling the scent of my grandma's house again. She died when I was 10 and I am now 34. The smell wasn't anything I can label, it was just the smell in that house. If I had to try and describe it, I would say it was something like freshly cut wood, mixed with an old paper smell mixed with warm notes in perfume. There is nothing that can make me forget that beautiful smell. These days, I love to smell anything that is a mix of vanilla and coconut when I open the door.
cherls15
This made me think of my gran... I think it was books and vanilla ❤️
@@AppleyGirl5280 beautiful. Sense of smell is powerful and its not something we realise until in the moment.
cherls15 Me too❤️
Turpentine and oil paint... My grandma's painting room❤️ sawdust was grandpa's workshop 😊
cherls15 my grandmothers kitchen smelled of dish soap and fresh, ripe pears, those yellow apples, and ripe bananas.
The best scent is on a cold snowy day outside and your windows are open to ventilate your house. I always love the scent of fresh natural scene of nature
LOOOOVE when my house smells of fall and apples!
OMG me too!!!!🎃🍎
One of the best fragrances ever.... I used to work at a spa and they used peppermint, orange and vanilla essential oils. I use this mixture in my home all of the time and it takes me back to getting a spa day! This smells wonderful anytime of the year 😊
I got my carpets cleaned and that eliminated the stale smell in my house. Now I STRICTLY ENFORCE the "no shoes rule." But yeah I love cleaning with essential oils.
I would do all hardwood floors in the house if I had to do it over again,
No shoes in my house either!
What about germs/odor on bare feet ?
@@virginiaschaefer2705 wash them, Wear clean socks, or House shoes.
The BEST smell of all??? Brand new house!!!!!!LOL
But that brings on a bigger problem .....Unnecessary debt😐
Yeah it’s conundrum for sure. Even a new house gets dirty if you’re a slob.
Some people are allergic to new materials. I don't mind off-gassing but it's certainly unpleasant.
So paint smell 🤢
Just buy a new one every month. :D
I want my life to have that Aveda/spa scent, most of the time. In absence of that, I love fresh lemon and lime scents, and baking/spicy scents in the fall and winter.
Everytime i cook something smelly i boil cinnamon and orange peel in water at the same time. That way the smell dissipates and grease doesn't stick to the backsplash and walls of the kitchen. Also helps to clean the kitchen easily after :)
In the spring and summer, I like the freshness of mint and eucalyptus. In the fall and winter I like apple, cinnamon, and Christmas tree scents.
In fall-winter I love the smell of mint, eucalyptus, bergamot, lemongrass, orange
Spring/summer: green apple fresh bergamot, lime, white musk, coconut water
We have a lemon scented geranium as a houseplant. Not only does it smell great when you brush past it, but you can also dry the leaves to use in scented carpet powders and stovetop simmers. Smells like citronella!
Lemon or citrus scents are my favourite smell when I walk in my house! I soak my microfibre cloths in diluted lemon Zoflora to disinfect them, and I hang them up to try on the radiators and they just let off this beautiful citrus smell in the front room and makes it smell like the whole house has just been cleaned
I open windows every single day..
Very similar idea here..
my fave Zoflora scent is mandarin & lime..I also make it up in a spray bottle - nice fresh scent when a friend calls at the door..
Why is it every time Melissa mentions dead skin cells I start cleaning like a maniac lol
😄
Hahaha
Summer: Lemon or Pineapple
Fall: Pumpkin and Spices... mulled cider
Winter: Peppermint
I like cookie smells or a cranberry spice mix for winter too!
Freshly brewed coffee and resins like copal frankincense and myhrr are my favourite smells. It's nostalgic for me because my parents are Ethiopian and coffee is such a big part of our culture. There's nothing nicer than a clean smelling home. I always have the windows open for fresh air. When I rented my landlord came round and she said how lovely the flat smelt. I always have a candle burning when i'm home and any one that visits always says how good my home smells. It's such a lovely compliment to get. And there was a time I let a friend borrow my scarf and she said "is this what your home smells like? It's lovely!".
I did all these things and still had an odor that wasn’t fresh. Turns out, I had to have my HVAC system cleaned, including the vents and sealing them . Now my home stays fresh long after I’ve cleaned. Just sharing.
How'd you figure that out? Im struggling with an HVAC/musty smell too and I don't know where to begin.
Great observation! It’s good to have your HVAC cleaned regularly. I am on a maintenance plan with a really good company. Costs me about $150 annually, but it’s worth every penny.
Whst is HVAC?
@@venumames6921 hi, it’s your air conditioning system
It’s the system that pushes the air through you vents
My wife uses dryer sheets and she places them around the home. Inside our closets, dresser drawers, trash cans, hangs them on the towel racks and places the towels over top, inside air vents, frig, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, inside our cars. For the mattress, she uses a combo of baking soda and essential oil. Sprinkles it all over the top, let it sit for 45 minutes and use our Shark to vacuum it up. Pillows she throws in the washer, every other month. We have blinds, that are inside the windows but, before we had them, she replaced all the blinds and bought room darkening drapes, which could be thrown in the washer. She replaced all the carpet with hardwood and linoleum so, it was easier to clean and got rid of a lot of the smells. She also replaced upholstery and bought leather chairs. Soft surfaces hide smells. She uses sachets of different scents and places them on the bottom of the litter box. The cat can not get to them as they are on the bottom of the tray and there is a liner over top. People have been amazed we own a cat, as they can not smell anything. When we had our home for sale, she did the crock pot with oranges, cinnamon and lemon. Or, she would bake bread or, cookies. She would also start a pot of coffee. Hopefully, other people can use these, and have a fresh smelling home in no time.
Damn. A man who notices all this?
DRYER SHEETS CAN BE TOXIC SO PLS. DON'T USE EVEN IN DRYER!
@@shankaririse9194I bought some dryer balls and they’re helpful - but they’re woolite brand and I wonder if they’re bad since plastic
DO NOT USE TOXIC SCENTED DRYER SHEETS.
Freshly brewed coffie, any kind of citrus, a roasting chicken, warming cider with a clove or two and cinnamon sticks, roasting beef, lavender, fresh flowers, Murphy's oil soap freshly cleaned woodwork and floors, Rosemary, cooking of almost any kind, of I enjoy good smells!!!!!!!!!
You forgot bread baking in the oven...☺️
not when cooking fish 🤢 is awful
Fresh coffee, vanilla and/or cinnamon.
Yes Freshly brewed coffee! I love this so much I decided to buy a coffee bean grinder and freshly grind my coffee each day! Heaven 💕
Yes fresh coffee definitely
Going to put lemon vanilla and rosemary oils into my diffusers right now.
Thank you for these natural tips! I accidentally found an amazing scent that I love. I made this pomegranate green tea. I took it to my room and had forgotten about it for a couple of hours. It made the room smell amazing! Now I’m gonna keep it brewing when I have company over!
My favorite smells would be a toss up between coffee and chocolate chip cookies 😊I once read a Realtor’s tip to bake some cookies right before you show your house..
I baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies in our previous home the morning of the closing on that home and left them on a plate in the kitchen as a surprise "welcome home" treat. At the closing later that morning, the new owners said they stopped by the home earlier and went in and were pleasantly surprised at the smell of fresh baked cookies! The new owners loved it and they had a delicious treat to eat as they moved in that day!
Something that can make a huge difference in a homes smell is having a garbage disposal! I hate not having one, I actually have one in the mail on its way can't wait to hook it up. But putting food in the trash can stinks the house up even if it's a good tightly closed trash can. Even if you change the bags daily the smell is still there. Our last house had a disposer and it really made a huge difference. BTW Melissa! If you haven't got one already you have to get one of these...Bissell Crosswave... it's the best thing ever. It's a vacuum and mop all in one. We was afraid it wouldn't work great, or be hard to clean and maybe smell wierd after a while- but no. It's amazing it works excellent and it saves SO much time! We even clean rugs, car floor mats and all kinds of other stuff with it. We have had ours for 2 or 3 years now and still works like a charm. You will never go back to the old way again.
I too love the smell of baked goods as well as orange, cinnamon & cloves in a crockpot. Fresh laundry fabric softener coming out of the vent is another smell I really like. Baby powder sprinkled on a baby is a lovely smell as well. Can't beat fresh coffee brewing either.
Yeah. So true...
My favourite smell is baking bread and apple crisp. The stove top simmer with lemon and cloves and cinnamon or just vanilla is lovely too. Love the smell of fresh sheets off the line. I insist on two things. ALL eating is done only in the kitchen and no shoes worn inside.
I too love the smell of baking,when I walk in home. Just love it.
I discovered you about two weeks ago and love this channel! My husband and I binge watch almost everyday. We live in NorthWest Ohio and know how weather changes and we have been doing and trying your ideas and let me just say, THANK YOU 🙏🏻 We have a 3 year old Daughter that has sensitive issues and with your ways of cleaning, it helps her (and me with my asthma) and ultimately gives us much more needed family time. Thanks again! 🤗
I just wanted to say I've been following you for years, still using your techniques and I absolutely love and appreciate your channel 💖
I am obsessed with cleaning products and often buy them more than I use them. But, despite all of the expensive products, fabuloso from the dollar store is my absolute favorite smell. It even beat out Pinesol, my old favorite. I cannot get enough of eucalyptus either. I have it running constantly in my diffuser as strong as I can make it.
You can’t use eucalyptus around dogs
We bought our house from a family that had six dogs.... and it was stinky. But we had our vents cleaned and that REALLY helped!
Eww
Hi Melissa, thanks a lot for your inspiring videos. I love them all! My favorite smell to come home is cedarwood & rose. Rose is expensive, but you need just a few drops, to make this blend smell amazing. I made it following your diy reed diffuser recipe. On another note, I love to do the cleaning routine of my shower while I have the conditioner on... it's the only way to get soft hair, otherwise, I rinse it too early:))
Scents for my candles: Spring: Lilac, Summer: Watermelon, Autumn: Apple pie scents, Winter: Pine tree. I also like jasmine or citrus type essential oils. Opening windows to get the old air out and lower humidity helps too. 😊
I love the smell of "clean", or the clean clothes when you do the laundry with a detergent or softener that smell of "fresh clean" or when you clean the bathroom or mopping with clorox. ;-)
In fall-winter I love the smell of mint, eucalyptus, bergamot, lemongrass, orange
Spring/summer: green apple fresh bergamot, lime, white musk, coconut water
I live in a 170 y.o. house and have 4 cats. It's imperative I keep the litter box and the feeding area cleaned. I use Bleach water as a last resort but prefer natural cleaners like lemon and baking soda. I make room fresheners by using about 1/3 cup of baking soda in a half pint mason jar and occasionally add drops of essential oil and cover with a pretty piece of material and sit in on a sunny window. sill.
Love diffusing essentional oils and changing them up for the seasons.
Great advice :) I particularly found the addition of scented oil inside toilet paper rolls an excellent idea.
@Debbie wow! You must be extremely sensitive...😷
Love these tips! Thank you! I love the smell of coffee in the am, Apple cinnamon in the fall and lemon anytime!
Honestly love love love your videos. You totally inspired the video i just uploaded on my TH-cam channel today so THANK YOU!!! ♡♡♡
Just got around to watching this. Also, as you taught me, clean your vent hood! Also, I bought a carpet steamer at an estate sale and cleaned my rugs and carpets. Wow what a difference in the way my home smells! I have 2 dogs. 🙀
Here’s another idea. Not sure where I heard this, but it works. Wipe a little eucalyptus oil on the edges of your ceiling fans. As they go around, they add a bit of fresh scent to the air.
Definitely open the windows. Clean any area needed. Green cleaners only. No diffusing essential oils for me. I do the oranges and cinnamon on stove.
During the summer I love the smell of citrus (grapefruit, lemons). During the fall, I like the smell of apples, then for some reason at night, I love lavender!
Lavender helps you relax and sleep
Kudos to my lovely neighbors...their house is always orderly, clean and smells wonderful. I aspire to that. 😁
Your comment about loving the smell of something baking made me think or Clueless when Cher throws the roll of cookie dough in the oven☺🍪
That movie still makes me smile to this day! Such a classic moment 😂
🤣 she was such a role model
The smell of spruce or pine. I love the smell of a fresh christmas tree.
Great video! I love the smell of fresh linens
Girl, I just love your videos! So informative, and I also love a wonderfully clean home.
I like to simmer cinnamon sticks on the stove top, any time of year. I also love frankincense and Indian sandalwood.
Thank you for sharing!
You just upped my game as a "clean-freak" Thank you!
I agree with letting the fresh air in, now I just need a remedy to repel a nosy neighbour!
Shoot her a bird everytime you catch em looking your way...if that doesn’t work then moon them!
Go nudist 😂
Be even nosier back.
I love the smell of citrus and lemons!
Thank you for the Zeolite tip! 🤗💗
WOW................thank you so much. I added a few drops of home fragrance oil into my vacuum filter and the smell is amazing. I can't believe it!!!!!
Adding a few drops of fragrance oil on the filter of the vacuum makes such a difference..and because vacuuming is usually the last tasks when cleaning your home, its such a nice feeling ending it with a fresh smell before you put your feet up.. Love it!
I love the smell of good coffee- Tim Hortons lol, for my home summer smells almonds or coconut, fall- pumpkin or Carmel- winter ginger bread and spring - fresh linen or anything clean smelling! For my car- coconut is almost always the number one or some exotic vanilla scents! Tahitian or Brazilian vanilla kinds
So, I saw some off-brand Pine-Sol on clearance at the grocery store one day, and I picked up a bottle. I have been obsessed with that smell ever since!
I love how u clean & give great tips u're the best
I dream of my home smelling like a hotel. I know that it's usually the smell of bleach and starch (which I'd never use) but it's still so comforting because it makes me think everything is clean. But the smell of cedar or pine is a close second.
Tea tree oil smells like pine to me, one of my favorites.
I agree, I just can’t bring myself to use bleach products in my home but I love using cedar and pine essential oil for cleaning.
I like that smell too. :)... but grapefruit and lemomgrass also are faves.
Pineee yes!!
I love the smell of fabric softener :)
The let it settle is my favourite tip . Thanks
Thank you for all your videos!❤❤❤❤
I love the smell of baking especially a turkey cooking and a freshly cleaned home
Finally got power back after the hurricane Laura devastation. We soaked through all of our old towels in minutes. I was shocked how much water your makers cloths absorbed. We let them dry in the sun and then used them again. Was glad I had them and will never Declutter old towels again.
So I used to live in an apartment that was freshly built. Loved thr smell of new house. Lived there for 5 years, went nose blind so couldn't smell anything. When I moved, I moved to a very old home that wasn't kept up on very good. Now when I rotate clothing from my apartment (it's only been 3 months since move), I smell that brand new apartment smell. Gosh it's the best.
And don't forget to clean your garbage disposal, too. That can harbor a lot of odors, especially if you use it for pet foods or fish. Turn on the disposer and run ice cubes regularly for general cleaning and removal of old food. I save citrus peels for the disposal, too. It smells citrusy fresh when I'm done. Finally, there are garbage disposal cleaners you can by that also work. Just follow package instructions. At holiday time, I put cloves into whole oranges in decorative patterns and put them in bowls around the house. They look lovely, and give my whole house a Christmasy scent! Happy clean and fresh smelling homes!!!
I LOVE the smell of a GOOD fresh linen when I walk into a home. However, during the holidays, I like the smell of evergreen/pine. That brings back such wonderful memories of my childhood. I like to eat but for some reason, don't like anything that smells like a food.
I totally agree. Nothing worse than the smeĺl of cooked food.
I do love using a wax warmer and melts for an extra lovely smell (shoutout to Kohl’s), but cleaning ALWAYS comes first to eliminate any lingering nastiness.
A drop of blue fabric conditioner & a few drops of essential oil in a spray with water, peppermint is lovely & any spiders will hate it! Lightly spray curtains, any soft furnishings, bedding, rugs.. Thank you Melissa, lots of great tips I had never thought of. Going to try the simmer for sure.
Thanks Melissa. love the smell of lavender.❤
I like the essential oil tip for the sweeper filter. I do this but I put the essential oil on a cotton ball and lay it on the carpet and sweep it up! I use to buy the sweeper filter that was made with Febreze but the company quit making them so I have to create my own Febreze smell but then there is the linen spray from Febreze I think it is my favorite aroma esp. the lavender vanilla spray for Fabric, carpets and Air!
I love the way ULTA smells, don't know what they do to their air, but I find it fresh and relaxing. I usually don't even buy anything, just wander for a bit
It’s not anything added to the air. Just the smells of shampoos and conditioners from the salon and scents from the soaps.
Thanks for all your info. Blessings
Thank you for sharing those great ideas I like the part of boiling the citrus cinnamon etc those are a great way to keep the home naturally fresh..I love Lavender,rose,vanilla nothing too strong..sometimes my sinuses act up I will definitely try your ideas.👍❤
Citrus or Fresh laundry smells are my favorite. In the winter months, I can get on board with a "Christmas Tree" scent or cinnamon.
I loved the video!😍 I'm going to get up do some cleaning and getting rid of odors!😊👍
Search MTT DRAWING 😍
In warm weather I love the smell of citrus and in the winter I love simmering things with cinnamon on the stove. I don't bake either but love the house smelling like I do.
I haven’t gotten into essential oils too much but now im tempted. I love when my home smells like fresh laundry and fabric softener. I do use and like pinesol and lavender smells too. Favorite candle is always lilacs . Powdery fresh smells
This video came at just the right time. My carpet smells like ferrets so I just made a homemade carpet powder and sprinkled it over the carpet
As always Thank you Melissa. I really love the scent you get when in a spa. So does anyone know what that exactly is? Also its the same scent as Aveda’s men’s pomade 😂
just subscribed, I love your well thought out helpful content! thank you!
Lemon,linen,and magnolia beautiful...scents can be grouped together or around the home. Loved the tip here thanks.
Biggest thing for me is to eliminate doggy smells . Having 4 it's key to making my house stay fresh and clean so I prefer to use the ecological products and change out pet bedding and throws twice a week in our family room which we share with our pups.
Also my pups are groomed and bathed regularly...been told by guests they were surprised to learn we have pets 😊
I get so many compliments on how my home smells....even by delivery people who are just at my front door!🚪I use tons of essential oils (lots of lavender, in particular) and I clean with vinegar.
Here in FL, we don't get to open the windows very often with the humidity being what it is and working against the Central A/C unit. We change our filters VERY OFTEN.
When you say you use essential oils, would you share a few ways you use them? (Like in a spray? On a cotton ball?)
@@massages_for_world_peace8909 @Robin Taylor
yes please
@Robin Taylor do you use lavender on a diffuser alone or do you mix it with other EO’s?
@@pilar3625 I use it with diffusers. I have them all over the house and in every room. Electric diffusers and Reed diffusers. I also use plug-in lavender scents. I use straight lavender without a carrier.
CAUTION ⚠️: ESSENTIAL OILS CAN BE TOXIC TO PETS. CHECK WITH YOUR VET BEFORE USING!!!
Mine passed a couple of years ago and didn't use so much of it with him in the house.
@@massages_for_world_peace8909 I mostly use straight lavender in many, many diffusers throughout my home in every room and some plug-in scents as well.
I appreciate you making a video about this!
I really appreciate your videos. Thank you.
It depends on the room and time of year, but I always like citrus or mint in the kitchen and bath because it smells fresh, and lavender and vanilla everywhere else. At Christmas I bust out the Christmas tree scents, and the warm spice scents. I also do a lot of baking then, and love the buttery smell of shortbread, and the smell of toasted pecans and pecan pie.
Love the vacuum trick! About to drop some oil into my paper towel and toilet paper rolls
My favorites are vanilla, Bergamont, or Lavender! Thanks for this video...great tips.
I am a smoker. Thank for this. My house is always smelling nasty. I will try these.
I love the smell of clothing stores at the Mall, lol! But walking into someone's house, or my own, I'd say my favorite smell is a freshly vacuumed carpet.
I love all the scent info for your home. I use an old clean jar put holes in the lid and fill it with rice and about 5-10 drops of essential oils. I use this in my garage, by the kitty litter box and it works and lasts a long time. Something not mentioned is you need to be careful of essential oils because some are not as good for you to be around. I have to admit I love the smell of cookies baking best with coffee a second favorite.
How much rice dio you use? :-)
....And, some Essential Oils, you should not use around pets, some of them are toxic to our Furrbabies.

My favorite is the smell from fresh eucalyptus 😍 I have some at the entryway and in each bedroom. That and fresh air from having the windows open.
