Planning to have guests over, but your house smells to high heaven? Not to worry! These simple hacks from TikTok are here to save the day.
Felt Pads and Essential Oils
Before we saw this TikTok video, we were sure that felt furniture pads were only good for ensuring our chairs won’t scuff the floor. Turns out, though, that they’re a perfect way to dispense some fresh smells around your house.
Just add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to them and stick them around your house. Don’t use too much oil, though, as it might soak through and stain any delicate furniture. You can even use different oils for different rooms! Just make sure to use pet-friendly oils if you have a cat or dog around.
Baking Soda to the Rescue
This viral hack will leave your mattress smelling nice and fresh for longer. Over your bare mattress, sprinkle baking soda along with a few drops of essential oils. Leave it to rest for up to 10 hours, then use a vacuum cleaner to clean it all off. The baking soda will absorb any unwanted smells, and the oil will leave your bed with a fresh scent.
As an added bonus, the TikTok user recommends that as you tuck in new sheets on your bed, spritz them with water to remove any wrinkles.
Barista Vibes
If you’re a fan of coffee, this hack is perfect for you. All you need is a large candle holder, small vanilla-scented candles, and beautiful coffee beans. Place the coffee beans at the bottom of the container. Then, on top of them, place your candles. Once you light them up, a beautiful scent of French vanilla coffee will fill the air. This hack is sure to leave your home smelling like your favorite coffee shop.
