We all want our homes to smell clean and inviting, but many store-bought air fresheners and sprays are loaded with harsh chemicals that only mask odours instead of removing them. The good news? You don’t need a cabinet full of chemical products to make your space smell amazing. With a few natural ingredients and simple habits, you can enjoy a home that feels as fresh as it looks.
Here are five easy ways to keep your home naturally fresh. Baking Soda: The Odour Absorber
- Baking Soda: The Odour Absorber
Baking soda is a powerhouse when it comes to neutralising smells. Instead of just covering up odours, it absorbs them.
💡 How to use it:
- Place an open box in the fridge or pantry.
- Sprinkle it in the bottom of trash cans before adding a bag.
- Lightly dust carpets, let sit for 10 minutes, then vacuum.
2. Lemons: Bright and Fresh
Nothing says “fresh” quite like citrus. Lemons naturally deodorise and add a clean, uplifting scent.
💡 How to use them:
- Run a few lemon slices through your garbage disposal to cut odours.
- Mix lemon juice with water in a spray bottle for a natural surface refresher.
- Place lemon peels in a small bowl on the counter for a quick boost.
3. Open Windows: Nature’s Freshener
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. Letting in fresh air reduces stale odours and improves indoor air quality.
💡 How to do it:
- Open windows for just 10–15 minutes a day (even in cooler months).
- Create a cross-breeze by opening windows on opposite sides of the house.
4. Simmer Pot: Cosy and Inviting
Simmer pots are a natural (and budget-friendly) way to fill your home with a delightful scent.
💡 How to make one:
- Add slices of lemon, orange, cinnamon sticks, and a few cloves to a pot of water.
- Simmer on low, and your home will smell like a cosy retreat.
5. Essential Oils: A Natural Fragrance Boost
5. Essential Oils: A Natural Fragrance Boost
Essential oils are a great way to customise the scent of your home. Unlike sprays, a few drops go a long way.
💡 How to use them:
- Add a few drops to a diffuser.
- Mix with water in a spray bottle for a DIY room spray.
- Apply the cotton balls to areas such as closets, drawers, or even under trash can lids.
