Keep it clean
There’s nothing quite like coming home to a clean space with fresh scents perfuming your surroundings. Tidy up around the house to make it smell extra bright. Here are some tips to keep your space smelling sparkly clean.
1. Clear the odor in your garbage disposal with this easy DIY. It’s always refreshing to have a clean sink when you wash your dishes.
2. Sweep, mop, and vacuum. This trifecta—when performed regularly—can rid the place of kid spills, leftover crumbs, and germs that somehow snuck inside!
3. Deodorize the carpet with baking soda and essential oils. Carpets attract bad smells when they trap dirt and bacteria, but regular cleaning can banish the imposters. Mix 1 cup baking soda with several drops of your favorite oils, sprinkle over carpets, and let sit for 20-30 minutes before vacuuming.
4. See it, then clean it. Wipe up spills as they happen, especially on fabric like rugs, couches, or pillows, to avoid stains.
5. Lighten your laundry load. Clean your clothes and sheets every week, so they don’t pile up. Make sure your comforters and quilts get a good wash regularly as well to banish musky odors.
YL tip: Freshen sheets in between washes by sprinkling a few drops of Lavender on them before climbing into bed. Bonus: The calming scent will help you drift off to dreamland.

Freshen the stinkiest of spots
Stinky spots—every home has them! Get down to the nitty gritty to rid the unwanted odors you want to live without.
6. Take out the trash. It’s simple but annoying—however, you’ll feel so free in the kitchen with the pungent leftovers securely in the dumpster. Add a few drops of Lemon or Tea Tree on a cotton ball to place under the liner for an even fresher scent.
7. Keep the fridge clean. Throw out old food, wipe up spills as they occur, and do a deep clean with soap and water every month or two.
8. The odors from smelly shoes and sweaty athletic equipment can be gone in seconds. Make a baking soda sachet to stash in the closet—a few spoonfuls of baking soda plus 5 drops of EO in a coffee filter, tied at the top with string. Also, try these DIY stinky shoe solutions.
9. Clean up after your furry friends. It’s no secret that our pets can get a little stinky. Remember to wash, refresh, or replace their bedding weekly and clear the litter box daily. Here are tips on using essential oils around your animal friends.
