Take the Headaches Out of a Nice Smelling Home!

Because I am very sensitive to getting headaches I can not have alot of perfumy things in my home. But I love nice smells, so I have had to come up with some ideas to make my home smell nice without getting a headache. These are not only effective but inexpensive:

1- To get rid of bad smells, pour a bowl of vinegar and leave it over night.
(It will absorb all sorts of smells from cooking to smoke smells.)

2- Put natural spices in a pot and boil them in water on the stove.
(My sister uses Cinnamon sticks, Dried cloves, Whole Nutmeg, Orange Peelings, and it works great. My dad used to burn
potpourri on our wood burning stove and it helped put humidity back in the air as well as scenting the home just enough)

3- If you have clothes that you hang dry, hang them in a room you want to smell nice.
(The fabric softeners will quickly make the room smell fresh. I take a wet towel out of the wash, and hang it over my
shower curtain. It makes the whole bathroom have such a fresh clean smell. )

4- Put laundry detergent in your tub or kitchen sink, and leave it over night.
(While this seems to dove tail #3, the bonus to this is it will leave your tub and sink sparkling with no work!)
