Okay, first of all, to make your house smell good all the time, you should start with the basics — we’re talking about consistently cleaning your home (including dusting), washing your pets regularly (or taking them to the groomers), and keeping up with your laundry (including bedding). If you’re still having odor problems, try to target where the smell is coming from, whether that be unnoticed, leftover garbage or compost, hidden pet accidents, disregarded fireplace ash, or something else.
Here’s some other advice to make your house smell good all the time:
It’s no secret what the best air freshener for a home is — it’s the one that works best for you. Here are some of our top-ranking options for keeping the stank away.
There is no one particular “best” house fragrance — just like the best air freshener for homes, it’s very subjective and can only be answered by you because you know what you like most. You can try different scents firsthand to see which ones you’ll want your home to smell like.
If you like natural scents, you can try products made with tea tree oil, citrus, or eucalyptus. If those scents make your nose stand up, you can always try natural floral fragrances such as rose, lavender, or lilac. Seasonal scents are also great because they’re fun and bring reminders of that time of year.
Remember, when you’re picking out a scent for your home, you’ll want to always choose fragrances that are naturally derived as they’re healthier options for everyone in your home, especially if you have kids or pets. As far as the best air freshener for your car, you’ll also want to pick something that’s chemical-free because you’ll be in a tight space breathing it in.
At Grove, we take the guesswork out of which products are good for you and your home. Every product meets strict standards for being nontoxic, effective, sustainable, and cruelty-free. Once you find products you love, we ship to your home on a flexible, monthly schedule.
