hi I'm Lindsay Diane from Diane
0:04
decor.com in today's video we're going
0:06
to talk about how to make your home
0:07
smell good naturally there are a lot of
0:10
Home fragrance products on the market
0:13
candles essential oil diffusers
0:16
Febreze and other sprays that claim to
0:19
absorb odors but you really don't need
0:21
any of that to make your home smell good
0:23
all the time
0:24
here's how to do it the key to making
0:27
your home smell good naturally all the
0:29
time is to eliminate bad odors on a
0:33
regular basis to make it a part of your
0:36
routine to remove things that are going
0:38
to create bad smells in your home one of
0:41
the biggest culprits in a home and in a
0:44
kitchen for bad smells is the garbage
0:46
disposal not only should you clean it
0:48
regularly by using some of those garbage
0:51
disposal cleaner tablets Lemmy shine has
0:54
them afresh has them there are a lot of
0:56
different brands that sell them but the
0:59
other thing that you want to do is to
1:00
make sure that you are running your
1:03
garbage disposal with hot water not only
1:06
when you're trying to dispose of food
1:08
scrap so that they don't sit in that
1:10
Basin but also before and after you run
1:14
your dishwasher most dishwashers are
1:16
connected to the garbage disposal side
1:19
of your sink so when your dishwasher is
1:21
running and it's trying to expel all of
1:25
that water that is Flushing off of the
1:27
dishes that may also contain food scraps
1:30
it's going into the garbage disposal and
1:32
if you don't run the garbage disposal to
1:35
kind of flush that out and down the
1:36
drain it can sit there inside your sink
1:40
inside the base of your sink and start
1:42
to accrue all sorts of foul odors so
1:45
running your garbage disposal before and
1:47
after your dishwasher cycle along with
1:50
regular cleaning and maintenance will
1:52
help eliminate odors from that area of
1:55
your home okay the next one is a
1:57
no-brainer and it is your trash try to
1:59
remove your trash from your house every
2:03
single day particularly the trash in the
2:05
kitchen just get it out to your outside
2:07
barrels whether they're on the side of
2:09
the house or in the garage to help make
2:13
sure that you don't have odors building
2:15
up in your kitchen food odors especially
2:17
can build up so fast overnight you're
2:20
talking about food that is starting to
2:23
rot in decay because it's no longer
2:26
refrigerated and bacteria is growing
2:29
rapidly in a moist dark situation that
2:33
you have in your trash can with a closed
2:36
lid you know a lot of the trash bags do
2:38
a great job of masking that smell but
2:40
the fact of the matter is just removing
2:43
it from the house alone is the best way
2:46
to keep your home smelling good
2:48
naturally and eliminate that bad odor
2:50
Source another way to keep your home
2:52
smelling good naturally is to make sure
2:54
that you're cleaning all of your soft
2:56
surfaces regularly these are things like
2:58
comforters bedding curtains even your
3:03
upholstered furniture your sofas
3:06
these things really do start to absorb
3:08
bad smells over time it may be kids
3:11
dropping food maybe you have pets that
3:14
climb on the couch when you're not home
3:15
anything like that can really over time
3:18
start to create some foul odors and you
3:21
may not really be able to figure out
3:23
where they're coming from and spraying
3:25
the Febreze on them every once in a
3:27
while really isn't going to do it so if
3:29
it's something that you can launder try
3:31
to do that on a regular basis curtains
3:33
and things maybe do that twice a year
3:35
your bedding do it once a month that I'm
3:38
talking about your comforters or your
3:40
duvet covers try to do those at least
3:42
once a month any throw blankets that you
3:45
have around the house that you have on
3:46
the end of your bed or draped over your
3:49
sofas get those cleaned once a month if
3:52
you happen to have one of the upholstery
3:54
cleaners the little like the Bissell
3:56
Little Green things they're really I
3:59
can't think of the name right now but
4:01
they it is really really helpful if you
4:04
happen to have that just run over for
4:06
the cushions of your sofa at least once
4:10
a quarter it will keep everything
4:12
smelling really fresh in yourself just
4:14
like the garbage disposal the dishwasher
4:16
itself can create a lot of bad odors in
4:19
your home and you want to eliminate
4:20
those on a regular basis this one is
4:23
pretty easy as far as regular
4:25
maintenance goes you can run a cycle on
4:30
its hottest setting with a cup of
4:32
vinegar and like a measuring cup or in a
4:35
bowl and place it on the top rack of
4:37
your dishwasher and let it run through a
4:39
full cycle it will help to eliminate
4:42
some of those bad odors the other thing
4:44
that you want to do is make sure that
4:45
you're emptying the filter that's at the
4:47
bottom of the dishwasher on a regular
4:49
basis I have a post all on this on my
4:52
website I'll link it in the description
4:54
below if you want to know how to really
4:56
deep clean your dishwasher but the the
5:00
bottom filter if it gets full of old
5:03
food scraps and stuff like that it can
5:05
create a standing water situation and
5:08
that's usually where the bad smells are
5:10
coming from in the dishwasher so clean
5:12
your dishwasher empty your filter it
5:14
will stop bad smells from coming out of
5:16
that dishwasher okay now let's talk
5:18
about laundry this is something that I
5:21
know a lot of people hate to do me
5:23
included
5:24
you'll hear people say try to do a low
5:26
today I try to do a low today it doesn't
5:28
always get done but the real culprit
5:31
with smelly clothes in the laundry is
5:33
things that are moist that's dirty
5:36
sweaty gym clothes if you have kids and
5:40
you're wiping up spilled milk and you
5:43
throw it in that laundry basket in the
5:45
pile with the rest of the clothes and
5:46
you haven't rinsed out that rag properly
5:48
it's gonna get gross really really fast
5:50
so I recommend if there's anything wet
5:54
do not throw it in the pile if you are
5:56
not going to wash it immediately instead
5:59
lay it across a laundry sink or
6:02
someplace else where it can actually dry
6:04
out if you're not going to launder it
6:05
immediately that will really help you
6:08
cut down on smells that are coming from
6:10
your laundry baskets and your just
6:12
laundry Zone in general and last but not
6:15
least probably one of the most obvious
6:17
ones are the toilets
6:19
toilets can make a bathroom smell gross
6:22
really really fast especially if you
6:25
have small ones that miss the toilet
6:27
like I do
6:29
so you really have to just get into the
6:33
habit of cleaning the toilets on a
6:35
regular basis there's a really easy
6:38
method for cleaning your toilet if you
6:40
hate doing this I'm going to link it
6:43
below it's from Melissa maker from clean
6:45
that space and it's how to clean your
6:47
entire toilet in like two minutes flat
6:50
once I learned it it just became the
6:53
easiest thing to do and I no longer
6:54
dreaded cleaning the toilet and if you
6:57
keep up with it on a regular basis you
6:58
don't have to do it every day but if you
7:00
just keep up with it on a regular basis
7:02
it becomes a really easy task and you'll
7:06
never have to worry about odors coming
7:08
from your bathroom again now that we've
7:10
talked about eliminating bad orders from
7:13
your home let's talk about how to get
7:15
that fresh smelling scent in your home
7:17
naturally and the easiest way to do that
7:21
is to just open your windows every day
7:23
you don't have to open all of your
7:25
windows in your home you don't have to
7:26
leave them open all day long but one
7:29
window per room or poor per Zone in your
7:32
home for a couple of hours a day is all
7:35
you need to get some fresh clean air
7:37
circulating in your home once you've
7:40
gotten into the habit of removing odors
7:43
on a regular basis you don't have to
7:45
rely on Air Wick or Febreze or any of
7:49
those other home fragrances you can have
7:52
your home smell good naturally
7:55
all the time by just eliminating the bad
7:57
odors and introducing fresh air into
8:00
