I can smell every thing already
Kristen McGowan cooking fish or any fishy meal I put a pot on the stove with a cup of water and add 1 teaspoons of cinnamon and slowly boiled until am finished cooking makes my home smells great! Still looking forward to that shoutout my pressure th-cam.com/video/rJFpGKKzZ8E/w-d-xo.html
I LOVE bounce dryer sheets as well. FAVORITE dryer sheets by far!!! I will put on on the front of my window air conditioner and I put them on the backs of my fans
I Love Love Your Videos!
Kristen McGowan I burn incense 🤗
I must say, you’ve truly help me. My girlfriend is moving in with me tomorrow and I’m a very clean person, but I wanted to find ways to make my house smell fresher and you solved that. Thank you so much.
open the windows! :)
If you take a tissue and pour some essential oils on it and put it in garbage bin and then put the bag it'll make your bin smelling fresh and you won't need any special garbage bag either.😉😉✌️
I was going to suggest that too! I put peppermint or lemon essential oils on a paper towel and put it in the bottom of the garbage can. Also keeps the bottom clean if something leaks.
Great idea... I put a bounce fabric sheet in the bottom of my trash can before I put the bag in and that helps too.
Yes! I do that also. Another idea is to take bars of soap that have gotten small and you're ready to replace it, just throw the old remnant into the garbage can before you put the bag inside...I also place used essential oil bottles in the garbage can before I put the bag inside...The same can be done with your laundry basket...Just throw the old soap remnants or the used essential oil bottles in the bottom of the laundry basket and it helps keep your dirty clothes area smelling nicely until you're ready to wash clothes.
I put a few drops of zaflora and wet the tissue and throw it into the bin and it smells great
@@ginasingh2527
I agree, same here..
I also spray some on the inside of the lid, so each time that I open the bin it release the scent as well..
Putting a fabric sheet or pellets into your vacuum canister makes a huge difference when you vacuum the house - from a professional House Cleaner! 🥰😁♥️
Thankyou so much this really helped!
@@laylacooke1175 I know!!! Right! I'm so glad I learned that!
@@laylacooke1175 I also thought if you want to go a more natural way you could always take all purpose spray, like Mrs Meyers and spray it on a paper towel pretty heavily and stick it into your canister as well! Because you're really just circulating the air from your vacuum and that will make the room smell really nice too and get into your carpet etc
OMG! I can 't wait to try that! Thank you for the tip!
I really need to try this 😊😊
Another tip for trash cans is....
I take a used dryer sheet and put some essential oil on it and then rub the inside of my trash can with it. I then leave the dryer sheet at the bottom of the can. Every time we open the trash you get the essential oil scent.
I add a scoop of baking soda to every load of laundry! Keeps towels from smelling musty. Sam’s has the big bags of it in the baking section. Only $7 a bag and last forever!
Thanks for sharing.. I use pine sol for towels & wash clothes, when I'm washing. I cannot stand towels & wash clothes that have an unpleasant smell.
The flower you asked about is a spider chrysanthemum! ☺️ I was on a floral team back in high school and used them many times.
OK, I thought it was a cactus dahlia.
I thought it was Aster.
Thank u. I love them as well. I was looking for this answer. 😊🏵
Yeah, it's a dahlia. We have the exact one in our garden 😊
A chrysant indeed! Or that's how we call them in Dutch :)
My go to is washing all my drapes using Gain detergent and Downy Rose and Amber fabric softener. Then I hang them back on the rod wet and let them dry there. Not putting them in the dryer prolongs the time that they smell amazing and makes that whole level of the house smell SO good!
Mildew?
And also you don't have to iron them
This is smart!
@@person-ey2ct no mildew I do this too, spring and summer just open your windows then in the winter the heater helps dry them and they dry in less than a day regardless no mildew ever
the best and organic way is to boil cinnamon or other fruit peels and it will give nice smell.
yes!! boiling cinnamon makes the house smell so good
It doesn't last long though
Which fruit peels?
Orange peels
I’ve done this too! Great tip
The musty smell is from closing the washing machine door. Leave it open and no smell. Vinegar works best to boost the cleanliness of your washer.
Sweet Heart - I also wipe out the gasket with a dry cloth and leave to washer door ajar.
I use white vinegar in place of liquid fabric softener. Works grand, is cost effective, and prevents build up on my fabrics.
@@susans3411 but does the smell of the vinegar go away during washing ? I have read about vinegar instead of fabric softener so often but I've always been afraid that the vinegar smell stays in the clothes.
@@Isasofit yes. there is no residual odor. it rinses out cleanly.
Actually vinegar can destroy the seals.
I need to try these. I love walking into a good smelling house!
Mousy Leigh yes!! It makes such a huge difference!
For the kitchen sink I use lemon halves (or Lime depending on what I'm using that day for water/drinks) and just take the juiced citrus and scrub the sink with it. then toss it down the disposal and run it while I'm rinsing everything. The citric acid does wonders and leaves your disposal smelling great too.
youll eventually clog your drain
you can use baking soda with it for extra scrubbing power
We do not use our garbage disposal but I do put those Plinks in the drain every now and then. I also just put the skin of the lemon (without the pith) in the garbage disposal every now and then and the kitchen always smell so great. I cook all stinky foods on a 2 burner stove outside. I love garlic, onions, etc........but we have an open kitchen (which I am not a fan of) and that scent goes all over the house so.....I am a foodie so I am not going without those wonderful foods but I don't want to smell it all week either!😂
I love love love method cleaner. Pink grapefruit and orchard apple for my countertops. I use oil diffusers too. I love to use the unstoppables around the house in little mesh jewelry bags. I use a washing machine cleaner as well. Great tips!
The toilet paper roll tip is great! 👌🏻
Have the same diffuser and I agree it does wonders, I have used so many diffusers and I love this ❤️😍
Yay I love this video because some people don't like lighting candles in their home due to accidents so I like that you gave so many options!
For the trash can I always spray lysol in when I take out the trash and let it dry before I put another bag in. I cook a lot so I'm always throwing away meat packaging or chicken scraps that can develop harmful bacteria. This way, it disinfects plus makes it smell actually clean, not just masking it.
@Honey Bear same and it has to go out that same day or night .
My favorite oil to diffuse is Good Morning from Edens Garden. I never get tired of it!
Diluting fabric softener with water and spraying onto radiators and wiping down is really good in winter for when you have the heating on - as they warm up the smell drifts round your home. Definitely want to get a oil diffuser and see if they have any sandalwood oils as that’s my fave kinda smells x
By
Be careful of which oils are safe for pets if you have them .
@@angelgirldebbiejo mmm
@@angelgirldebbiejo mmm
Mm
Awesome ideas, thank you.
Some really great ideas . I especially like the idea of fabric sheets on the furniture and essential oils on the rolls. Thanks 😊
When you fry or cook fish( especially salmon or sardine) just light a candle in the kitchen. It will mask the fishy odour that will otherwise linger in the house for hours..
If you want to neutralize the smell instead of masking it, put out a bowl of white vinegar near or on the stove. As the vinegar gently warms up, the fishy smell will disappear.
I just take my electric fryer outside and fry outside!
Or fry an onion in the grease
@@martaneves8021 I been doing this for years ✅✅✅
Thanks I've just been putting a fan in front of my screen door to suck the odor out & opening all the windows for years now🤣🤣🤣
I just found your channel and love it! I love my essential oils. When working (I work from home) I use peppermint and lemon combined at my desk. And of course when ready to go to sleep, I use lavender.
Wow those are some great ideas💡 Everytime I watch your video, I feel you gave away all tips and tricks in this video and you'll have nothing to share in a next video, and then you do!! Great job Kristen 👍👍 Since the time I got my new house, I've been glued to you channel 😀
The toilet brush holder tip was a great idea that I will incorporate RIGHT NOW!!!!!😀 I just ordered a diffuser Thank you for sharing these great tips. 💕
Wow! Never heard of some of these products! Thank you!!!
Thanks,I didn’t know about putting oils in my wool balls....great ideas!
Amazing, thank you 😊
Great ideas and I’m going to use them in my home! 😊
Wow, thank you for such great ideas, Kristen! Now I know how to aromatize my bedroom! 💖 🌺 🌹 🌷 🌼 🌸
It's so great to come across your video...I too love a fresh and clean home...I can tolerate food smells for just a few hours, but then I am eager to remove those food odors from my home. I do many tricks as you mentioned, especially with the essential oils. Another idea is to take bars of soap that have gotten small and you're ready to replace them, just throw the old remnant into the garbage can before you put the bag inside...I also place used essential oil bottles in the garbage can before I put the bag inside...The same can be done with your laundry basket...Just throw the old soap remnants or the used essential oil bottles in the bottom of the laundry basket and it helps keep your dirty clothes area smelling nicely until you're ready to wash clothes. I've done similarly with my sock and pantyhose drawers. Ladies, especially, remove our pantyhose for the day, and they're perfectly fine to wear again another day, but maybe there's a little smell from the feet areas, so throw a freshly finished bottle of an essential oil or a soap bar remnant into the drawers. I also spray my fabrics with room fragrances or even my own perfume. Fabrics hold onto the fragrances longer than just spraying into the air. Then when air blows upon those fabrics, a wonderful fragrance is released.
Morning first time I have watched your vlog and I LOVE your laundry
Organization with the pods,bounce and booster.
The bounce fabric sheets on the furniture is a great tip,I haven't seen those in years here in Ireland,maybe I just haven't noticed,will certainly look for them now
I love watching your videos! So many great tips, but simple ones too! I can watch this one over and over! I just put in my new order for more EOs...maybe you could do a video just on essential oils and good combos what various tasks....I just discovered that I LOVE to put frankincense and sandalwood in my diffuser - my condo smells like a Caribbean vacay hotel!💖. Thank you for all your videos!!!
Wow, some of these tips are so simple but I’ve never thought of them! Thanks for the ideas, I’ll have to try them out
I loved it.. I'm making my home smells good every time..thank you so much
Love the entire video
Thanks for the video I really need that one cuz smell is something makes house a home
This was really useful. Esp. cleaning the sink and using Bounce to wipe the furniture. Thank you.
Love it! Method pink grapefruit is my fav! Great video!
If you have a pet ... please consult with your Veterinarian *BEFORE* using any essential oils, wax melts or other fragrance boosters in your home. Some can negatively effect your animals resulting in breathing problems, even Asthma attacks.
I don't have any breathing issues usually, but found that a diffuser and oils gave me a persistent cough until I stopped using it. I was annoyed as I loved using it
Thx for the infoo..i will watch out for my cat
Yes there are a lot of essential oils that are toxic to cats unfortunately.
Searia Kett I agree.
@@Marsand100
I'm so glad that it wasn't permanent and that you're feeling better now. 💜
I just subscribed to your channel and I am glad I did. You have so much cleaning ideas which I find interesting. I even wrote down the essential oils for my diffuser. I have to buy the oils. I like your idea of glass jars to put tide pods, fabric sheets etc. Great idea. Your video is so helpful. Thanks for all your ideas and household tips! 😊🍁🇨🇦👍
Love the essential oil in the toilet paper roll and the what a great idea for the toilet cleaning brush...
Thank you, so simple yet so eye opening.
I feel like with all those different scented oils, laundry things, and sprays, it could get overwhelming. My head hurts thinking about so many smells.
I don't think that she uses them all at once. These are just suggestions about what you can do for each room.
It is not supposed to be all at the same time. Its either or…
You can also put a dryer sheet inside the cushion covers.
I was impressed by how many of these I do. I love the fresh scent Downey booster beads (just a touch) in the wash now and then and also my dyson air cleaner especially in winter months which is like fresh air. I love the humidifiers with little little coloured shows too. Silicone toilet brushes are great. They are so easy to clean with boiling water.
Love the baking soda in carpet idea!!
This was so nice! I have cats so I'm always looking for ways to make my home smell fresh & clean.
Thank you😍. All ideas are great you can also boil cinnamon and vanilla. Real old school.😂. Love my diffuser. Awesome video. You have a kind spirit. ❤️
Thank you for sharing products & ways to keep house smelling nice & clean 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌻🌻🌻💐💐💐
Great video Kristen! Definitely some tips I could use xxx
Great tips! Love your containers for your laundry essentials. Now I have a tip for you. Throw away that toilet brush and replace it with a Clorox Toilet Wand with the disposable brush head. It works great, and no more stinky toilet brush in the bathroom! 😊
Robin Z. "OKUUUUUR!"👌😎
Thank you for the ideas. Anyone with pets needs to double check what essential oils are safe around them. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos! Keep up the good work.
So glad someone mentioned this! Everything in this thread has been toxic to cats and some toxic to dogs. Please do your research before buying and using certain scents around your pets!
Yes you are right you can not use a diffuser with pets I use a warmer and it's perfect
Thank you for all the helpful tips..really like the restroom info 👍
Awesome tips!!! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼🙂
That’s a super awesome trick on the inside of the toilet paper 🧻 wow
yes!! genius!!
Glynis Marthinussen Hi ! ☺️ As a nurse, i dont think using essential oils (wich are really strong and powerfull) near youre genital part is a good idea.... you can burn your vaginal mucosa or even have an allergic reaction. If you still want to do it, just be carreful and make sure to use a small amount of essential oils and also dont put oils on direclty on the paper ( Sorry for my english, i’m french 😅 ) Have a Nice day ! ☀️
Chloé Bsc it’s not on the paper 🧻 itself but in the inside of the roll which doesn’t touch the paper.
NEVER thought of rubbing the couches with a dryer sheet ! Doing that ASAP
Yes. And wait for this waxy build-up to start attracting dust and dirt and look gross. You're welcome
@@AgzStonez Exactly. So gross.
Thanks for all the great ideas Kristen
so many great tips, thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thank you. Sharing my smell good tips and tricks. I put drops of essential oil on the filter of my cordless vac. as well as the bag of my Kirby. Besides wiping down the door and rim of my front load washer, I spray it with OdorBan. I also spray it on my sheets when I make the bed as well as my pet bed. Spraying it on curtains and floor mats is another good way to use it. People do a lot with dryer sheets, however, I find them to be very strong. I make my own room spray as well as after shower spray. I can spray the room spray on my fabric furniture in addition to/instead of the OdorBan. I also put a few drops of vanilla extract on the bottom of my oven and set it to warm and it makes the entire house smell yummy. Crockpot (I have a small one just for this purposed) filled with some water, lemon and orange peel, cinnamon sticks, vanilla, and clove - set on low will give you hours of wonderful scent. My favorite summer one is lemon peel with rosemary and vanilla.
If you have a dog/cat then please do your own research before using essential oils. Their livers lack an enzyme that filters the oils so they build up in the bloodstream causing toxicity which can damage their organs and even be fatal. I wouldn't only consult a vet because I had a vet tell me that all essential oils are safe for my cats so I got a second opinion (and did tons of research) and it turns out a majority of oils are not safe.
Also, be careful with fresh flowers especially around Easter when the lillies are popular. Make sure all flowers/plants are safe for animals before bringing them into your home.
Thanks so much, loved it!
Love the Method cleaner spray !
I had the whole summer to focus on deep cleaning, but I decided to focus on relax, work, and relax. Now, two days before going back to college, I’m deciding to follow all those tips to make sure that my home will be fresh and clean😂
I put a few drops on my ac filters works great and smell wonderful. try that one .
OMG I love the message that you gave up and I really thank you for sharing it I have been doing stuff that we similar to this but some of the stuff I just learned today thank you
I bought a diffuser and put essential oil in that. I have one in each side of my condo- the bedroom and the living room. I don't like smelling dog when I walk in the door but lavender, oh yes!
I believe that flower is a spider mum. Thanks for the dry shampoo tip! Also will use the carpet freshener idea. I appreciate it!
Another great video. Thank you! I completely forgot that I bought diffuser a couple years ago to hopefully help my husband stop snoring. When it didn't work, I forgot about it. I'm going to get that thing going in our new home for sure! I also love the dryer sheets idea. I use essential oils a lot too. One thing I do is make a spray using distilled water and essential oils that I spray in the air and on curtains or throw blankets.
Interesting and motivating. Thanks for sharing such useful tips.
Thank You, Great Ideas!
Just wanted to give a heads up on dryer sheets. They have chemicals that react with the air to create formaldehyde, a carcinogen (cancer causer). So when we use these in the dryer this cancer causing agent is released into the air and also carried all day long right next to our skin in the clothes we wear that were dried with a dryer sheet and also on the furniture we scented with these dryer sheets. Pine Sol contains chemicals that cause hormone disruption, pregnancy complications, birth defects, and cancer. I loved the hidden toilet paper roll scent! Let's fill our homes with scents that are healthy for us because breathing these chemicals all day is not a good smelling home.
Which chemicals ?
Oh didn't know that, wont be doing that then.
@@cecif9419 VOC's
Wow I didn't no that .
Just by breathing and eating you are getting all those chemicals in your system.
I love these kind of videos. Thank u
me too :)
Was helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Very good ideas! I’m going to try some! Didn’t know about the febreeze garbage bags!
Hi Kristen! Thank you so much for your videos! They help a lot, especially when we all are staying home. I think that flower looks like chrysanthemum. Lots of love from Russia!!!
Also bounce sheets are amazing to dust with!
They pick all the dust up and don’t leave any streaks behind.
Great for wood or glass furniture!
That's a great idea!!
I love watching your videos. Very professional House Cleaner.
great ideas to keep our homes smelling good
In the winter to get the stainless out of the house spray the furnace filter with a essential oil/water mixture. I also add tea tree oil to the mix.
While it runs heating the whole house it will freshen up the whole house! Plus tea tree helps clarify the air!
The flower is a spider mum! It's a part of the daisy family! Its gorgeous!! I love them!
Great suggestions. 😊🌷🦋I’m going to try the Method All Purpose Cleaner in Pink Grapefruit. I like the smell of Pink Grapefruit.
Loved this content so fab yet practical and doable advices. ☺️❤️👍
My favorite fragrances are bergamot and blood orange. Also like tropical scents, but nothing too sweet or flowery. As for that musty smell that eminates from the washing machine, I find that leaving the door open, whether a top or front loader, allows the interior to dry out, thus eliminating the source of that musty, sour smell. You only need to leave it open for a few hours. You'll spend far less money on those washing machine cleaners. Love that oil diffuser. Going to get one. Thanks!
Great ideas! What makes my house smell luscious is baking cookies in the oven. Win/win 😁
Ja, ja ❤
I’m the same baking cakes and cupcakes. 👍… I’m happy .
this is sooooo thorough and it makes my day thank you so very much
This video is really helpful thank you😍
The flower is a Dahlia 🌺 love your tips
I believe it's chrysanthemum though dahlia is also very pretty
Great tips and they're super easy to implement in my home cleaning routine.
You can also add some essential oils to a cotton ball and toss it in the trash can before putting a new bag in. I personally like using the Peppermint oil.
I do this. It is such a game changer
Great ideas!! I will be trying some of these!
Thank you! I will tru them all! Amazing!
Rubbing your furniture with dryer sheets? GENIUS!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I love the peppermint oil in my diffuser. This is the only scent that lingers even after I turn it off.
What!?! Awesome ideas, can’t wait to implement them!
I love essential oils and a diffuser too ♥️
I believe that flower is a zinnia. They come in so many sizes and shapes, it’s amazing. Mixed Zinnia seeds are so awesome to spread around your garden or just have a spot with lots of them. They bloom all summer and fall, depending on your location. Perfect cut flowers.
I love tilex for my bathroom, I know you dont like harsh chemicals but my restroom , bathroom and kitchen are really nice clean with it specially with does orange lines that it form love it, the drier sheet is something I will use thou is a great idea and I have small pets, maybe will pick.up hair that I cant see or left behind with the vacuum
Amazing ideas, thank you
A dab of oil on the back of your radiator is a great trick. I love almond oil with a little vanilla added. Or put those Bounce sheets behind the radiator too.
