Struggling to keep your home smelling fresh can be a real challenge, especially when you've got kids and pets running around. Despite all the cleaning, candle lighting, and plug-in fragrances, it often seems like the lovely smells just don't last. But now, thanks to a savvy social media user, there's a simple and cost-effective solution. Venting on Reddit, they shared: "First of all I'd like to say, we're extremely clean. We have pets and it's a new build, so I feel like the scents don't stay very well.
"I use candles, but those aren't continuous. I've tried many plugins in the past, but I've read bad things about the wallflower plugins from Bath and Bodyworks, and the same with the Glade/Febreeze plugins. "We've been using the EnviroScent plugins right now, and while I like them OK they're not strong enough to last. What should I do?" People were quick to offer advice, with many suggesting that the secret is to choose one scent and stick with it. This helps maintain a consistent fragrance throughout the home without different scents clashing. One helpful commenter suggested: "Pick a dominant scent and only purchase that. So say it's lavender.
"Your hand soap, linen spray, and diffuser oils, all contain a lavender smell. Keeps continuity throughout the house with the little smells - like soap and cleaners.". One savvy individual shared a brilliant and budget-friendly tip, revealing: "This is genius and I swear by it now. I bake vanilla extract in the oven for an hour then crack the oven door open for the rest of the day and between those two things my house pretty consistently smells like vanilla.
