Smell good tip: few drops of essential oil on AC filter. Gives the entire house a nice blast of whatever oil you use when you get the AC going. My personal favorite is tea tree oil 🤗
I needed this. With a husband, 2 boys and a dog I need my house to smell girly and like flowers, there’s something about the house smelling good that makes me feel better. If my house is messy but smells good then I feel okay but if my house is a messy and stinky I can’t
The lemon, rosemary, vanilla simmer is actually a Williams Sonoma recipe! My mom and I have used it for years and just a tip, you can tweak the amounts and ratios you use. Personally I like going heavier on the vanilla, it makes your home smell heavenly! ♥️
I do that to but I live in Arizona so during the scorching heat summers I keep them closed. I feel you on that, I feel like I'm suffocating with my windows closed.
That was so weird for me to read, sorry you guys can't open your windows 😢 since I live in Mexico it's an every-day thing unless it's raining 😂 never thought about this b4
These are good tips but some things to keep in mind from someone who runs a laundry business; avoid putting any kind of oil into the dryer directly with your laundry. You might end up with little oil spots on your stuff. If you want your laundry to smell nice, try use scents during the wash cycle, then dry your laundry on a low setting for half the time and then turn it to warm for the rest. High heat burns off most good scents you just added. Also using dryer sheets to wipe down upholstery isn't a good idea because it will just build up that residue on the surface of your chairs. Also use distilled water for diluting cleaning sprays you plan to keep for a while.
Yes! A lady in my dance class gifted everyone with sandwich bags filled with an orange, cinnamon sticks, cranberries and I believe cloves along with instructions on how to "make your home smell amazing". I thought it was a genius idea and very cost efficient.
AND...,USE USED DRYER SHEETS TO WASH OFF GUNKY PLATES & BOWLS SUCH AS EGGS, GREASE AND I LOVE TO CLEAN MY FORKS AS I PUNCH THEM THROUGH TO CLEAN BETWEEN THE TYNES THEN THROW THEM AWAY... I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY USED DRYER SHEETS! CHEERS~
Oh wow. These are all SOO helpful. Just another stain removing DIY Godsend. Baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and original blue dawn dish soap. Listen. This combo will literally remove ANY stubborn stain from any fabric. Be it laundry, carpet, furniture, your shoes.... it has removed break dust off of white tennis shoes. Hot syrup off of a microfiber couch. Blood, urine, grease. It's amazing! 💗
@@unaladybug it will all depend on the size of the stain. So if it's a small stain, just use about 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of peroxide and 2 to 4 drops of dawn. If you formed a loose paste, you are good to go. If the stain is bigger just double the amounts. It's one of those things that you can just eye and it works fine. I definitely wouldn't let it sit on anything long. And ALWAYS wash or rinse (depending on what you are treating) with cold water. Anything luke warm or hot will set the stain. 💗 also thought I should add... I use a cool damp wash cloth to scrub the stain. Or a very soft bristle tooth brush depending on whatever the stain is on that I'm trying to lift!
@Meredith Hammett I have always cleaned our car upholstery with that solution and it works like a charm. Our car had super light upholstery that would get so dingy so quickly, and this would make it look so clean and new again.
I live in Hiawassee Ga ( the mountains ) and i never heard an ambulance police or firetruck. I hear birds, chickens , cows and there clanking bells when they walk. And twice this month I actually heard an airplane. Every day is the complete absence of noise, just nature. I recommend renting a cabin in the mountains to restore your peace of mind. Before we bought a house we stayed at Laurel Mountain Cabins for 10 years in a row. Azalea cabin is the coziest one out of 7 cabins they rent.
I love adding my favorite scent in my vacuum & AC filters, your house will Always smell fabulous.. I love the smell of simmering cinnamon, clove & vanilla intoxicating. There are Always several coconuts in my house so after I express the oil I have all that coconut meat to mix candles, soap, sachets. I adore the deep alluring fragrance. Thanks for the Wool Ball tip.💓
I LOVE this video. Helpful, real life tips, brief, no extra talking just straight to-the-point! And you left the recipes in the description box!!! Plus, you’re home is beautiful so we know you’re living this life!!! Saving this and subscribing!! THANK YOU AGAIN!
Another tip is to put the washing beads into a sandwich bag, poke tiny holes in it and place it in your dresser to keep your clothes smelling fresh. And after your candle has burnt out, scrape the leftover wax and put it in a wax melting wall plug to get total use out of every drop of wax. You can also put that wax in a bag and in your dresser. I also lightly mist my walls every so often with fabreeze to keep the pet odor from staying in the walls!
Thanks for the tips! I've been making my own febreze for awhile now as well. The snuggle and gain beads also make great sprays! They also say you can use them in the wax burner but I've never tried it. I pour baking soda down my drain ,about a table spoon then pour down white vinegar to freshen my drain weekly. And I also put drops of lavender essential oil on the inside of my toilet paper rolls. When they turn on the holder the roll releases the scent.
The beads should never be used as a spray or in a wax warmer. They are made to be dissolved and washed away. They leave a highly flammable coating when used as a spray that traps odor causing dirt and bacteria. They are never ever meant to be heated. When heated, the chemical composition changes and they release toxins that can shut down your respiratory system. Never ever do that.
I have four cats and two small dogs. Whenever I have company over, I get compliments about how nice my house smells! Especially with all my furry animals! I do the baking soda on my rugs, the essential oils room sprays and wall diffuser, natural wax candles, and I vacuum three times a week. I will be trying your dryer sheet tip! Thanks for sharing!
Mrs Myers has a room freshener that smells really good! We use it from time to time when we don’t want the strong smell of a candle burning 👌🏼 I loved these tips. Definitely going to use them
I love your videos because they are so original, you don't follow the UA-cam trends,your content is always amazing, thank you for your work. Me encanta tu canal.
Hot tip. Smells linger on walls. Every three months I wipe my walls with vinegar half water. I use a swifter mop and soak paper towels attatched to the bottom of the swifter mop and spray them with the vinegar solution. I don't reuse the paper towels.
The vinegar and some scented soap will work. I’ve tried lemon oil mixed in. If there is smoke in house you might need to rinse from walls a few times. The vinegar smell doesn’t last and less toxic.
Sheesh Liz you are incredible!!! You are an incredible mummy, taking care of your son, your fur balls and running your UA-cam account so well! Hats off to you Liz so inspiring! I thoroughly enjoyed your videos, especially this one. Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
My hubby also cuts a lemon in half and throws one at a time into our garbage disposal... really freshens the pipe lol... we use rosemary and lavender a lot around the house... love that spa scent! Tfs 🥰
Yes but vinegar can remove colour from rug and make white rugs darkening! Also essential oils on curtains and other fabrics can leave oil spots and unremivable stains!
I have used vinegar for cleaning on all my rugs and many fabrics for around 50 years now and I have never had a problem with color being removed or whites darkening.
I use scent beads for our throws and cushion covers too! That’s my little secret also 💁🏼 My tips: I sprinkle baking soda over the drains/garbage disposal in my kitchen sink before I go to bed. It keeps things from smelling funky😉 When I need to step out and I’m expecting company to arrive at the same time as I do, I make sure to leave a diffuser running with a light citrusy scent.
You can put the dryer sheets i side your faux flower arrangements. Also the dryer sheets in your underwear drawer or any clothing drawer. You can also pop 1 dryer sheet inside your pillow case to help it smell fresh 😊 l love your home and always look forward to your videos xx
As for the vacuum. I usually place baking soda and a few drops of essential oil in a shaker or jar and shake that up and then spread on my rugs and sofa. It makes the sofa and carpet smell so good and the room itself once it’s vacuumed.
Using those scent beads as a spray is really toxic and makes whatever you sprayed more flammable. They’re meant to be washed out of clothes not sprayed and left sitting on fabric.
Meh it's pretty watered down once mixed with water and look at the ingredients no different than a bottle of febreze or glade spray all of the stuff claims to be flammable fabric in general is pretty flammable with all the finishes the goal is to keep cloth from open fire 🤷🏽♀️
@@jasminevaliente96 no. Not safe. Every company that makes the beads has had to make multiple statements telling people not to do this because it's dangerous. The company that makes it says it's dangerous!!!!
Those beads cost 3x more than a bottle of febreeze. Why not just use febreeze? Actually just washing stuff regularly & vacuuming regularly works perfectly fine for me, and I have 4 dogs!
I LOVE rosemary !!!!! I'm more of a wax melt and diffuser girl :) My home usually smells like cinnamon. I like your idea about the Downey bead solution.....great idea. I make my home made cleaner using rubbing alcohol mixed with Dawn dish soap.I love it not only for its cleaning power (even my son was impressed how well it cleans) but also because it disinfects. I use it for almost everything, except wood. A little tip for extending the Downey beads is to buy the Dollar Tree beads and mix them in with the Downey beads. Also Costco had a much better deal on the Downey beads :) tfs 🍀🍀🍀
Good tips! I have a hard time making my house smell good because of my cats so this videos gave me good tips on things I can do like the carpet trick for pet accidents! Will do that tonight actually! Thanks!
I don't throw the lemon peel I use it to scrub pots or diches, together with the sponge and soap, and I like to put essential oil in the baking soda, before I put it in the carpet, I put essential oil in my paper towels in the back, and toilett paper also. Thanks 4 your awesome video
Small ice cubes in the garbage disposal clean it up and refresh it! Another one of my favorite ways to get good clean air is using a air filtration system, especially with pets and kids! And for fragrance I really love doing a diy potpourri! Dehydrate any flowers you’d like (we love rosettes and lavender) and add any oils you favor! We do rose and lavender! You can also dehydrate sliced citrus and add any citrus eo. We do a mixture of eo and alcohol place all of it in a bag and sprits mixture let it really penetrate. Leave in the bag for maybe 30-45 minutes and place them in a basket or a decorative bowl!
@Francesca Taphophilia Made me sad as well.😢 -9 Celsius (16 Fahrenheit) in Toronto but not as much snow here. Not sure what city you’re in, but you might be farther north than Toronto. Would love to open up all of the windows, but it’s just too cold.
Double Days Family that's so toxic to your lungs and esp children and pets! Please don't do that! Google it and clean your vents ASAP to avoid respiratory problems
Great tips...The dry sheet is perfect to place inside your pillow case for bedroom and throw pillow case .. Have you bed and sofa smelling awesome.. The Gain scent last for more days
The blue unstoppable beads are my favorite scent too!! I love it so much i make scent pouches for my drseer drawers i take a dryer sheet pour some unstoppables in it and tie it with a piece of ribbon or thin string then place them in my drawers.🤗smells so good &keeps your clothes smelling fresh.You outta try it😊💕
Hello. Hi Im new to your channel you have some great diy tips n tricks girl YES!!! I wanted to share a tip with you. If you ever have a odor that u cant get out rather it be from pets stains, pet odors, even in your clothes, soak the item in ammonia and add a little bit of water for 30 min. to an hour or over night, or throw a 1/2 cup to a cup of ammonia in with your wash and vala the odor is gone! I know ammonia is a chemical but hey at the end of the day it works. God bless you, and thank you for sharing with us your wonderful tips😃🌺🌺🌺
Great video!!! I think when using EO’s that a dark colored spray bottle is best for keeping the strength of the EO. That’s why they come in small, dark colored bottles.
I cut a fresh lemon and microwave it to make cleaning easier and a FABULOUS citrusy scent removing food odors. I like to leave the lemon in there after microwaving it for like 1-2 minutes. I go on to finish cleaning the house, and remove the lemon after I'm finished with the cleaning. The scent is AMAZING
I use the Downy Beads in a wax warmer. I have 3 warmers throughout the house. And I make the solution like you with them to spray and freshen fabrics! Also, keep your AC air intake filter changed frequently and I add a few drops of essential oil to the actual filter before I install it.
You need to discontinue doing that. That can kill you. If you insist on using a warmer, use wax melts. The chemicals in those beads are meant for water only and release a harmful substance in to the air when heated. It also leaves a thin layer of residue on everything that you spray it on that traps dirt and odor causing bacteria as well as making everything it lands on extremely flammable. You're endangering the lives of everyone in your home by doing those two things. As toxic as the fragrances in some candles are, candles, wax warmers or even regular air freshener spray are safer than what you're doing now. You could easily switch to essential oils all the time and replace all of those more harmful substances but serious, the spray and the beads in the warmer can kill you.
Loved allll of these tips! I've always heard about boiling cinnamon sticks, apple slices and cloves during the fall/winter season but never lemon and herbs for spring/summer. Makes perfect sense! And I LOVE the way your windows open. They're gorgeous!!!
Hello! If you have a large trash bin, make sure not to throw stuff like food remains in there and wait until it’s filled to throw it out. I have a mini trashcan I place near the sink for all the wet gross stuff like meat bones, hair from the drains that I throw out everyday using plastic bags from my shopping For fruit and veggie remains I have a separate bin that I will dispose of in my compost bin. Also I wash my trash bin every 2 weeks.
Hola soy una seguidora tuya de Gran Canaria. Estoy alucinando y encantadísima, estoy viendo los subtítulos en español 🙏🥰👏👏👏👏 Antes los veía pero no los entendía, ahora si. Gracias gracias gracias 👏👏💞 😘😘😘 Me gustan todos tus videos y tú eres un encanto.
Missliz I suggest using the baking soda to soak up the pet accident first then spray it with the vinegar mix and repeat with baking soda. Otherwise the pet urine spreads with the liquid vinegar combination
The pet odor thing works. My cats used to pee in my bed which is a scent that never ever comes out no matter how much you wash. Vinegar and baking soda does the trick.
These are all great tips. Thanks for sharing them. One thing I like to do which makes all of my clothes, bedsheets, towels, etc smell good is that I buy scent packets and put them in my linen closets and drawers. They really make a difference.
Omg I just bought the candle from anthropology and it smells AMAZING! And looks so beautiful 😍 thank you!!! And thank you for all these wonderful tips🥰
Great tips. One of my tricks to disinfect (because I’m a germ phobe) I spray my pillow inserts and mattresses with Lysol while washing the sheets and pillow covers.
Liz, I’m dying laughing. You said open the windows you can hear the birds, the kids, etc and you were raising the windows and I thought “the criminals coming in” 😂😂😂girl I raise my Windows about three inches with a lock, this way if I walk in another room no one can come in by lifting the window. I know. Paranoid. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Too much ID channel. 😂😂😂🤣🤣better safe than sorry.
Oh that's so sad that you are scared in your own home :-( my son once left it front door wide open and no one came in,and we were all out for the day lucky I suppose ,I live in Australia it's very rare that someone would come in .
I’m not scared Sara I’m just aware. 😂😂 america is messed up girl, too many drugs, guns, and idiots and the president is the biggest idiot of them all. We miss intelligent Obama.😢😭 And girl, I live in a gated high end community.🤷🏾♀️ I still never let my guard down. Never. Crime is in all zip codes here. Sad
Sarah Mack if you live in some places in the states, you might not want to leave everything open! it’s all about location location location but even in the most quiet peaceful places crime can still happen! it’s when you think you’re safe that’s when you let your guard down and that’s usually when you are open to an attack, when you’re the most vulnerable! So always be mindful and vigilant no matter where you are simply cuz you don’t live in a high crime city doesn’t mean you can’t become a victim! there are crazies everywhere nowadays but you don’t have to live in fear however you always have to exercise a certain level of caution cuz you don’t know who’s watching you as you come in and go out, they catch you entering alone and leaving out alone, know what time you get back and when you leave see crooks get your routine down and they look for opportunities to strike! sadly this has been the case one too many times but you know to each his or her own just do what you can to stay safe and leave the rest up to the Lord🙏🏻
@@fionaokeefe1906 I feel lucky to live in Australia ,things do happen here but we don't have a big problem with guns as they are banned ,we did have a gun shoot massacre about 30 years ago nothing since then,I was just shocked to hear people being scared to open they're windows ,I have never felt that here in Sydney

Smell good tip: few drops of essential oil on AC filter. Gives the entire house a nice blast of whatever oil you use when you get the AC going. My personal favorite is tea tree oil 🤗

Does anyone else open their windows every day?? Like I feel suffocated with all the windows closed.
I do it everyday, it's a NECESSITY
I do that to but I live in Arizona so during the scorching heat summers I keep them closed. I feel you on that, I feel like I'm suffocating with my windows closed.
I live in Texas I can't 😂
I don't

Wipe down your baseboards with dryer sheets after cleaning them. It kinda repels dust and makes them super easy to keep clean.

I hate carpet... got rid of all of it in my home! Laminate is much easier and cleaner also.
I agree after dealing with bad allergies then we slowly replaced ours throughout the house and voila better feeling and less cleaning work.
Yes!!! I absolute despise carpeting, I feel like it never gets actually clean. I have to deep condition my upstairs carpet every month 😭 lol
And dustier too 😬😜
Totally agree. Dust trapper. No matter how good your vacuum cleaner is.
You can never get carpet fully cleaned. Totally agree.

Bible Barbie won’t the smell of vinegar be strong around the house?
Such a great idea. Im in a new appt and the previous owners smoked and i cant get the smell out of the house, hopefully that will fix it!
The vinegar and some scented soap will work. I’ve tried lemon oil mixed in. If there is smoke in house you might need to rinse from walls a few times. The vinegar smell doesn’t last and less toxic.

The dryer balls, wow great idea!....Next time doing laundry, definitely doing that...Thankyou for sharing!
They toxic Google them first
This is what homemaking is I see.. Now I know what someone can do at home the whole day. Much respect.
Using those scent beads as a spray is really toxic and makes whatever you sprayed more flammable. They’re meant to be washed out of clothes not sprayed and left sitting on fabric.
Really? I'm so ignorant about this kind of thing. That's dangerous then to be sprayed on curtains
Meh it's pretty watered down once mixed with water and look at the ingredients no different than a bottle of febreze or glade spray all of the stuff claims to be flammable fabric in general is pretty flammable with all the finishes the goal is to keep cloth from open fire 🤷🏽♀️
@@jasminevaliente96 no. Not safe. Every company that makes the beads has had to make multiple statements telling people not to do this because it's dangerous. The company that makes it says it's dangerous!!!!
Those beads cost 3x more than a bottle of febreeze. Why not just use febreeze? Actually just washing stuff regularly & vacuuming regularly works perfectly fine for me, and I have 4 dogs!
Gracie Bee... now that you point it out, it's true
Great tips!!! I also love adding a 1-2 drops (lemon) of essential oil on my vacuum filter after it's been cleaned..smells fresh when vacuuming 😉
Baking soda and vinegar makes draino, put in sink over night. Then flush with boiling water. Sink unclogged for pennies
I LOVE rosemary !!!!! I'm more of a wax melt and diffuser girl :) My home usually smells like cinnamon. I like your idea about the Downey bead solution.....great idea. I make my home made cleaner using rubbing alcohol mixed with Dawn dish soap.I love it not only for its cleaning power (even my son was impressed how well it cleans) but also because it disinfects. I use it for almost everything, except wood. A little tip for extending the Downey beads is to buy the Dollar Tree beads and mix them in with the Downey beads. Also Costco had a much better deal on the Downey beads :) tfs 🍀🍀🍀
Was totally looking foreword to watching this video at night before bed after all the crazies went to bed hha. Love the ideas!
😆😂
Good tips! I have a hard time making my house smell good because of my cats so this videos gave me good tips on things I can do like the carpet trick for pet accidents! Will do that tonight actually! Thanks!
Use a scoop of your fragrance beads in your Dyson vacuum where you empty it. Makes it smell good everywhere you vacuum! 💕
That’s such a good idea!! Thanks!!
will this work for any vacuum?
kdtabb Yes it will!
Great idea! I like to use dried lavender. Smells amazing every time you use the vacuum
Oh wow I love this!
I don't throw the lemon peel I use it to scrub pots or diches, together with the sponge and soap, and I like to put essential oil in the baking soda, before I put it in the carpet, I put essential oil in my paper towels in the back, and toilett paper also. Thanks 4 your awesome video
I honestly get so excited when you post a new video !!! Your are honestly amazing.... your content is breathtaking ♥️ love you 😍
Awe thanks!! Happy Sunday!
Small ice cubes in the garbage disposal clean it up and refresh it! Another one of my favorite ways to get good clean air is using a air filtration system, especially with pets and kids! And for fragrance I really love doing a diy potpourri! Dehydrate any flowers you’d like (we love rosettes and lavender) and add any oils you favor! We do rose and lavender! You can also dehydrate sliced citrus and add any citrus eo. We do a mixture of eo and alcohol place all of it in a bag and sprits mixture let it really penetrate. Leave in the bag for maybe 30-45 minutes and place them in a basket or a decorative bowl!
I love your voice. Its very calming.
Your house must smell AMAZING!
This looks like a win win for me.
I'm addicted to clean scents. TFS ☺
My idea of luxury would be to have fresh, clean sheets every day and always have fresh flowers in every room.
I love mixing oils with water in a spray bottle. What a fabulous idea
Omg a good smelling house is like heaven, smell is vital for comfort and cosy.. beautifull house/life 😊😍💐🌸🌼
It is negative 10 with two feet of snow on the ground in Wisconsin, not gonna lie your intro made my cry inside. But I still love this
@Francesca Taphophilia Made me sad as well.😢
-9 Celsius (16 Fahrenheit) in Toronto but not as much snow here. Not sure what city you’re in, but you might be farther north than Toronto. Would love to open up all of the windows, but it’s just too cold.
The natural solution is great. Take time to research the fragrance and cancer connection. It’s really important to use essential oils.
If you have thyroid issues Febreeze is toxic. Research all of thesr products before using! Just sayin'...
Put 1 or 2 drops of essential oil on the inside of the toilet paper role on the holder. You're welcome 😂
❤
chelle patino 😂
🤣😂🤣😂👍👍
I also love dryer sheets!! I use them all winter in my floor or wall heating vents and it circulates the smell in the entire house. So good!
Double Days Family that's so toxic to your lungs and esp children and pets! Please don't do that! Google it and clean your vents ASAP to avoid respiratory problems
That chandelier in the living room is gorgeous!❤️
Tambien puedes poner en una olla con agua a hervir canela y clavos de olor o a una manzana roja le incrustas clavos de olor por todos lados🤗
Eli R mi madre hace eso tambien! Lo mejor 🙌🏼
That chandelier is gorgeous!
Be careful which essential oils you're using around your pets, as some of them can be dangerous.
Joely P I was about to comment the same thing. Many oils are toxic to pets.
One is tea tree. Oil.
Eucalyptus is too.
I recently purchased The Hotel Collection diffusor for my home. It makes it smell like a luxurious hotel! Definitely recommend looking into one!
You have some great tips. Thanks, Liz
Thank you!!
Great tips...The dry sheet is perfect to place inside your pillow case for bedroom and throw pillow case .. Have you bed and sofa smelling awesome.. The Gain scent last for more days
Can’t wait to try some of these secrets!
Especially the fuzzy scented balls in the drier & drier sheets on furniture
Thanks!!!
This video is a literally A GEM 💎 I can’t believe I stumbled across this 💛 thank you for this 🙏 💛
The blue unstoppable beads are my favorite scent too!! I love it so much i make scent pouches for my drseer drawers i take a dryer sheet pour some unstoppables in it and tie it with a piece of ribbon or thin string then place them in my drawers.🤗smells so good &keeps your clothes smelling fresh.You outta try it😊💕
Brandy777 wow my grandma used to do that
I make sachets too and also send pot with them to friends who live in illegal states!! CHEERS!😄
It's a must to air out the house for at least one hour every single day. I've been doing that since I was in middle school.
Your decor is beautiful !💝 I love your colour scheme, thank you for the tips
Hello. Hi Im new to your channel you have some great diy tips n tricks girl YES!!! I wanted to share a tip with you. If you ever have a odor that u cant get out rather it be from pets stains, pet odors, even in your clothes, soak the item in ammonia and add a little bit of water for 30 min. to an hour or over night, or throw a 1/2 cup to a cup of ammonia in with your wash and vala the odor is gone! I know ammonia is a chemical but hey at the end of the day it works. God bless you, and thank you for sharing with us your wonderful tips😃🌺🌺🌺
Great video!!! I think when using EO’s that a dark colored spray bottle is best for keeping the strength of the EO. That’s why they come in small, dark colored bottles.
I cut a fresh lemon and microwave it to make cleaning easier and a FABULOUS citrusy scent removing food odors. I like to leave the lemon in there after microwaving it for like 1-2 minutes. I go on to finish cleaning the house, and remove the lemon after I'm finished with the cleaning. The scent is AMAZING
You should do a review on Brittany Vasseur’s essential oils. I feel like they are going to be great!
Diana Navarro I didn’t know she was doing that. Wondering of their therapeutic quality and pureness... 🤔
I use the Downy Beads in a wax warmer. I have 3 warmers throughout the house. And I make the solution like you with them to spray and freshen fabrics! Also, keep your AC air intake filter changed frequently and I add a few drops of essential oil to the actual filter before I install it.
You need to discontinue doing that. That can kill you. If you insist on using a warmer, use wax melts. The chemicals in those beads are meant for water only and release a harmful substance in to the air when heated. It also leaves a thin layer of residue on everything that you spray it on that traps dirt and odor causing bacteria as well as making everything it lands on extremely flammable. You're endangering the lives of everyone in your home by doing those two things. As toxic as the fragrances in some candles are, candles, wax warmers or even regular air freshener spray are safer than what you're doing now. You could easily switch to essential oils all the time and replace all of those more harmful substances but serious, the spray and the beads in the warmer can kill you.
So Relaxing watchin dis 🥰
Loved allll of these tips! I've always heard about boiling cinnamon sticks, apple slices and cloves during the fall/winter season but never lemon and herbs for spring/summer. Makes perfect sense! And I LOVE the way your windows open. They're gorgeous!!!
I need to try the essential oil trick inside the trash. No matter how much i clean the container it always start to smell again 🙈🙈🙈
I use laundry perfume drops like Unstoppable for my trash can.
Hello! If you have a large trash bin, make sure not to throw stuff like food remains in there and wait until it’s filled to throw it out. I have a mini trashcan I place near the sink for all the wet gross stuff like meat bones, hair from the drains that I throw out everyday using plastic bags from my shopping For fruit and veggie remains I have a separate bin that I will dispose of in my compost bin. Also I wash my trash bin every 2 weeks.
Try vinegar in the trash can. This is my secret.
I really love your house so white and tidy
Hi your decor is so beautiful and fresh looking
Thanks for sharing lovely lady. All the best from Birmingham UK
Hola soy una seguidora tuya de Gran Canaria. Estoy alucinando y encantadísima, estoy viendo los subtítulos en español 🙏🥰👏👏👏👏
Antes los veía pero no los entendía, ahora si. Gracias gracias gracias 👏👏💞 😘😘😘
Me gustan todos tus videos y tú eres un encanto.
Wife Tips 101 I came to the right channel 👏🏼
She is the best😍
Missliz
I suggest using the baking soda to soak up the pet accident first then spray it with the vinegar mix and repeat with baking soda. Otherwise the pet urine spreads with the liquid vinegar combination
Thanks for the idea. I use natural cleaning solution too. Love essential oils too.
Thank you for this. I absolutely loooove my place smelling fresh all the time.
The pet odor thing works. My cats used to pee in my bed which is a scent that never ever comes out no matter how much you wash. Vinegar and baking soda does the trick.
Oh that wouldn't fly in my home my cats would never do that!!!
redhot it was because something was wrong with their litter box and the person taking care of them when I was out of town couldn’t fix it
These are all great tips. Thanks for sharing them. One thing I like to do which makes all of my clothes, bedsheets, towels, etc smell good is that I buy scent packets and put them in my linen closets and drawers. They really make a difference.
Ok 1st can we talk about this beautiful natural lighting and how I'm at home on my basic couch trying to breathe in the fresh air through the video🤔🤗🤣
🤣🤣🤣
LolHaha I
I love this woman. This is my first time.
Omg I just bought the candle from anthropology and it smells AMAZING! And looks so beautiful 😍 thank you!!! And thank you for all these wonderful tips🥰
Great tips. One of my tricks to disinfect (because I’m a germ phobe) I spray my pillow inserts and mattresses with Lysol while washing the sheets and pillow covers.
Liz, I’m dying laughing. You said open the windows you can hear the birds, the kids, etc and you were raising the windows and I thought “the criminals coming in” 😂😂😂girl I raise my Windows about three inches with a lock, this way if I walk in another room no one can come in by lifting the window. I know. Paranoid. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Too much ID channel. 😂😂😂🤣🤣better safe than sorry.
😂😂😂 too funny!! I would never dream to open the windows if I was home alone so I’m on the same boat as you 😆
Oh that's so sad that you are scared in your own home :-( my son once left it front door wide open and no one came in,and we were all out for the day lucky I suppose ,I live in Australia it's very rare that someone would come in .
I’m not scared Sara I’m just aware. 😂😂 america is messed up girl, too many drugs, guns, and idiots and the president is the biggest idiot of them all. We miss intelligent Obama.😢😭 And girl, I live in a gated high end community.🤷🏾♀️ I still never let my guard down. Never. Crime is in all zip codes here. Sad
Sarah Mack if you live in some places in the states, you might not want to leave everything open! it’s all about location location location but even in the most quiet peaceful places crime can still happen! it’s when you think you’re safe that’s when you let your guard down and that’s usually when you are open to an attack, when you’re the most vulnerable! So always be mindful and vigilant no matter where you are simply cuz you don’t live in a high crime city doesn’t mean you can’t become a victim! there are crazies everywhere nowadays but you don’t have to live in fear however you always have to exercise a certain level of caution cuz you don’t know who’s watching you as you come in and go out, they catch you entering alone and leaving out alone, know what time you get back and when you leave see crooks get your routine down and they look for opportunities to strike! sadly this has been the case one too many times but you know to each his or her own just do what you can to stay safe and leave the rest up to the Lord🙏🏻
@@fionaokeefe1906 I feel lucky to live in Australia ,things do happen here but we don't have a big problem with guns as they are banned ,we did have a gun shoot massacre about 30 years ago nothing since then,I was just shocked to hear people being scared to open they're windows ,I have never felt that here in Sydney
