HOME SWEET-SMELLING HOME

DIY Home Scent Solutions That Work

None of us wants to be known as someone with a stinky house. While we may become nose blind to the smell of our homes, anyone visiting will notice whether your house smells fresh or rotten from the moment they step through the door. While sprayable air fresheners and candles can improve the smell, these scents fade quickly. Plus, having to replenish your supply can get expensive. Thankfully, three quick tricks will easily refresh the scent of your home. The Smell of Fresh-Baked Cookies Have you ever gone house hunting and noticed that many homes you tour smell like freshly baked cookies? Realtors often use this strategy to make the home feel more welcoming to potential buyers, and you can use the same trick to improve the smell of your house. Take a tablespoon or two of vanilla extract and place it in an oven-safe bowl or container. Bake it in the oven at 300 degrees for 10–20 minutes or until you notice the smell wafting through your house. Trash Can Freshener The trash cans in our kitchens are often the source of the biggest stink in our house. It’s a great habit to replace your trash bag whenever you add something that will rot or smell bad, but if the can holder retains odors, you don’t need to buy a new trashcan. Instead, dab cotton balls with your favorite essential oil and place them in the bottom of

your can. Changing out the cotton balls every time you replace a trash bag will help offset any bad trashcan scents.

Shaving Cream’s Unique Use The bathroom floor is often one of the dirtiest areas in our homes, especially around the toilet. While you can get on your hands and knees to scrub away grime, there’s an easier way to clean the area and provide a refreshing new scent. All you have to do is mop the floor using shaving cream. It’s less messy than traditional mopping and will leave your bathroom smelling clean!

Client Testimonials

“Litigation is a difficult, challenging process that is inherently frustrating. I was thankful to have Rob’s wisdom, guidance, and patience to help me navigate the process. As other reviewers have stated, Rob is refreshingly forthright and candid, and he made me feel like he cared about me and my family. Most importantly though, he kept me informed and always took the time to explain what was happening, what our strategy was, and how I needed to approach things. I really appreciated that. Also, working with Rose and Pam was a dream — they are completely delightful and always took great care of me. Thank you guys for everything!” -Erin “Took time to listen to me and treated me like a person with feelings and a life to live.... I appreciate so much your kindness and compassion... The world needs more attorneys like these folks that REALLY care. Thank you and God Bless Rob.” -Stacy
