6 Brilliant Home Smell Good Hacks

1. Essential Oil Reed Diffuser

Reed diffusers are great for distributing your natural home scent and offer a simple way to diffuse essential oil.

I really like to use this in my room because it’s so easy to put, all you need is a tall glass with a small hole at the top, almond oil, and essential oil then get some sticks that absorb water and put them all in the glass.

With a reed diffuser, your home will smell great and you can change the essential oil scent to your liking. It’s also good for home decor and for spaces where candles might not necessarily work well, like in the office.

2. Make A Simmer Pot

A super-easy way to make your home smell great is by making a simmering pot.

All you have to do is boil some water then add some cinnamon sticks and add orange slices and let it simmer for 30 minutes and voila! You will have that amazing smelling scent in your kitchen and the surrounding area.

You can play around and use different ingredient combinations so you can have your own simmer pot recipe and if you really don’t know what ingredient to put, Ezebreezy has put a list of simmer pot recipes that you can choose and make.

3. Wax Melt

4. Dryer Sheet In The Trash Can

Kitchen, especially trash cans are often the cause of indoor stink and it becomes smell bad if you haven’t taken away your trash in a while. You should make it a habit to wash your bins at least once a week and I know how hard sometimes to do that.

That’s why this dryer sheet can be handy because you can control the odor by putting dryer sheets at the bottom of your garbage.

5. Linen Spray

Linen spray is the easiest way to make your room smell good. You just need water and essential oil or use any fabric softener that you have and pour them in the bottle spray. Spray it over your furniture and on your curtains to let the smell waft through.

6. Fresh Indoor Plants

You can place the plant on the floor, stool or hang them around your home.
