You may not even notice certain "home" smells anymore, but visitors will. Sprinkle the baking soda on carpets and rugs, leave in place for a few hours, and vacuum it up. Sprinkle baking soda in the bottom of trash and garbage cans. Open the small boxes and put them in the refrigerator, or in a mildewy bathroom.
2. Counteract cigarette smoke:
Kill the smell of stale smoke by leaving a bowl of vinegar on a tabletop or counter.
3.Change the light bulbs.
And old, dusty bulbs throw off even less illumination than when they were new. Your entire home will instantly look better if you switch out those dim bulbs with new, full-spectrum or "daylight" bulbs.
Ten minutes with a glass-cleaning spray bottle and some paper towels will give you sparkling windows and lovely light in your home. Try doing one room or even just one window at a time. Clean windows make a big difference in the look of your home.
5. Fast way to a fresh scent:
If you like the perfume of fabric-softener dryer sheets, just leave one out in a bathroom wastebasket or on a shelf.
