When your home smells nice, it can make a long day at work feel so much better as you step through the door. Plus, visitors will view your home as a fresh, clean space.

Everyone knows you can light a candle and spray air freshener to make your home smell better. But there are other ways to make your space smell nice.

If you’re looking for a few cheap and simple tips to make your home smell better, here are five quick and easy things you can do.

  1. Open the Windows Regularly

There’s nothing like the great outdoors to make your home smell fresh!

Just five minutes once a day can boost the natural ventilation in your home and help get rid of built-up odours.

For the best results, we recommend opening your windows at night or early in the morning, as this is usually when the air is cooler.

  1. Wash Bedsheets

Laundry day never fails to make a home smell nice!

If you want to make your home smell better, washing your bedsheets once a week with fragrance balls can create a long-lasting, cleaner smell throughout your home.

  1. Clean the Floors

Washing your floors with a mop or steam cleaner regularly can leave a pleasant, long-lasting scent throughout your home.

To make your floors smell even nicer, try adding a fragrance to the cleaning water.

  1. Wash Living Room Pillows & Throws

We may not notice it, but odours can linger on our sofas, pillows and throws. If you have pets that sleep on the sofa or you regularly eat food in the living room, your sofa pillows can easily become full of bacteria, too. Most living room pillows and throws are machine-washable, so giving them a quick wash every now and then can leave your living room smelling fresh and clean.

  1. Scatter Dryer Sheets

If air fresheners and candles aren’t your style, scattering scented dryer sheets in every room is another easy way to make your home smell better.

If areas of your home are particularly odorous (like near the front door), try slipping dryer sheets into your shoes or jacket pockets. Instead of being greeted by a musty shoe or damp jacket smell, you can enjoy a more pleasant aroma when you walk through the door!

Just make sure you’re only placing dryer sheets in safe places and not anywhere that could create a hazard.
