You want your home to smell good, but do you also want a better alternative to expensive synthetic air fresheners which can be unhealthy? Aerosol air fresheners and room sprays can cause breathing problems in children and people with asthma. The manufacturers of these air fresheners keep the chemical composition a closely-guarded secret. Isn’t that a scarey fact. They are designed to mask or cover up odors rather than remove the odor. It’s better to remove odor from the source than try to cover it up.

Here are some safe and easy ideas to make your home smell great during the holidays and anytime of the year.

Choose non-aerosol room sprays made with all natural essential oils, they are safer and the natural scents will make your home smell nice, clean and fresh. Try an energizing citrus, a warming spice, exhilarating mint or pine scent to enhance the ambience of your home. Watkins offers you all these wonderful natural room fresheners.

Tip: Just before your guests arrive, spray one or two pumps in your entry way or the first room they enter. After one has been exposed to a scent for a while it become less noticable, that’s why you can’t smell your own perfume later in the day when everyone else can. You just need to make first impression for your guest’s.

Give your home a wonderful appealing smell by simmering cloves and cinnamon in water. It will smell like you’ve been baking. You can vary the scent by adding vanilla, orange or lemon peel. Raid your pantry and spice cupboard for these natural scents. Use a special potpourri simmering pot, mini crock pot or just a regular pot on your stove.

Scented candles are another alternative, choose environmentally friendly soy based candles with a lead-free wick as they burn cleaner. Never leave a buring candle unattended or near anything that could catch fire. Watkins Orange Citrus Candle pictured here burns for 40 hours, and is has a delightful orange scent.

Tip: Light a scented candle half an hour before your guests arrive so your home will smell nice when they enter, then extinguish it, the lovely scent will linger. It’s more frugal to burn a candle for a short period of time too.
