A fresh-smelling home is good for your mental state, as when you walk into your home, your mood will naturally become elevated when there are no nasty odors to ruin your feng-shui.

And when your home smells good, you will be more inclined to invite people around too. 

Ensuring your home smells perpetually fragrant will take some dedication on your part, but considering the benefits we just outlined, you should have all the incentives you need.

Here's how to keep your home smelling fresh.

How To Keep Your Home Smelling Fresh

#1: Eliminate bad smells at the source

Follow your nose and track down any bad smells. 

It could be the smell of damp, and the culprit could be mold on one of your walls. Or it could be the smell of sewage, and that could be coming from the internal pipes linked to the drains outside. It might even be the smell of something rotting, and if it's not coming from your refrigerator, you might have a dead rodent hidden somewhere in your house.

So, dig deeper and eliminate any bad smells at the source. And contact the professionals if you need extra help, such as a service akin to Sydney Emergency Plumbing if you suspect problems with your drains, or pest control if you have a rodent problem. When you get on top of these foul smells, your house will naturally start to smell better.

​#2: Keep your home clean

The cleaner your home is, the fresher your home's smell will be, so keep on top of your cleaning. 

Mop your kitchen and bathroom floors regularly. Give your surfaces a good wipe down with a pleasantly-scented household cleaner. Quickly deal with drink and food spills on your carpet and furnishings before they get a chance to sink into the fabrics. And clean your refrigerator whenever it gets mucky, remembering to remove any foods that are past their sell-by-date too. 

There is more to do, of course, so tackle any cleaning jobs as they arise, especially those that could result in bad smells if you neglect them.

#3: Fill your home with fresh scents

your home smell amazing. 

So, you might pick out some plants and flowers from your garden and put them in a vase.

Or you could create your own scents. Using a variety of flowers, herbs, fruit peels, and other natural ingredients, you could make your own potpourri. Alternatively, you could make scented candles, using the essential oils that give off your preferred fragrance. 

And there are other ways to fill your home with fresh scents. 

Get busy in the kitchen and bake some bread or some cookies, or put something on your slow cooker. When you're doing your laundry, use the fabric softeners that are pleasing to your nose. And when it comes to household cleaning, use DIY products that smell amazing over any toxic-smelling store-bought alternatives. ​
