How to Make Your House Smell Amazing All Day | SHC
You know that feeling when you've just cleaned the house, everything looks gorgeous, and you want it to smell like you've spent the entire day scrubbing, polishing and generally being a domestic goddess?
Even if you've actually spent most of the morning drinking coffee and avoiding the washing pile. π
We've all been there!
But here's the thing: making your house smell amazing doesn't have to involve constantly cleaning or spraying half a bottle of air freshener around the living room.
With a few simple tricks and the right home fragrances, you can keep your home smelling fresh, cosy and welcoming throughout the day.
And no, you don't need to spend a fortune doing it!
Here are seven of our favourite ways to make your house smell bloody gorgeous.
1. Start with a fresh home
Before reaching for your favourite fragrance, it's worth dealing with anything that might be causing unwanted smells.
Empty the kitchen bin, wash those forgotten tea towels, open the windows for a little fresh air and give your home a quick tidy.
Because let's face it, no amount of gorgeous fragrance is going to magically fix the smell of last night's takeaway sitting in the kitchen bin. π
Once your home is fresh, your favourite scents can do what they're supposed to do: make it smell even better!
2. Use wax melts to fill your rooms with fragrance
If you love walking into a room and being greeted by a gorgeous fragrance, wax melts are a lovely way to create that feeling.
Simply place an appropriate amount of scented wax into your burner, follow the burner's instructions and let the fragrance work its magic.
Whether you love fresh laundry, sweet bakery fragrances, fruity scents or something a little more luxurious, there's a wax melt for practically every mood.
At Scent & Home Creations, we've got plenty of fragrances to choose from.
Fancy something fresh and clean? Try one of our laundry-inspired scents.
Want something sweet? Our fruity and bakery fragrances might be right up your street.
Or perhaps you're feeling a little fancy and want your living room smelling like your favourite perfume.
Whatever your mood, there's a fragrance waiting for you.
SHC tip: Always follow your burner's safety instructions and never leave a lit tealight burner unattended.
3. Give your carpets a little fragrance boost
Carpets can hold onto everyday household smells, especially in busy family homes.
And if you've got children, pets or a husband who thinks taking his muddy shoes off at the door is optional, you'll know exactly what we mean. π
Our SHC carpet fresheners are a lovely way to add a fragrance boost to your cleaning routine.
Simply sprinkle an appropriate amount onto a suitable dry carpet, following the product instructions, and vacuum thoroughly.
Your carpet gets a little refresh, and you get to enjoy one of your favourite fragrances while cleaning.
We have a gorgeous range of scents available, so you can choose something fresh, fruity or sweet depending on what you fancy.
Always check that the product is suitable for your carpet and vacuum cleaner, and keep children and pets away during application.
4. Make your vacuuming smell gorgeous
Now, if you're already getting the hoover out, you might as well make the most of it!
Our SHC vacuum discs are a handy little addition to your cleaning routine.
They're designed to release fragrance while you vacuum, helping make that boring household job a little more enjoyable.
Because if we're going to spend our lives hoovering up crumbs, glitter, pet hair and whatever the kids have decided to destroy today, we might as well enjoy a gorgeous smell while doing it. π
Choose your favourite fragrance, follow the product instructions and enjoy a little scent boost while you clean.
Just remember to use vacuum fragrance products only where they're compatible with your particular vacuum cleaner.
5. Keep a room spray handy for a quick refresh
You know when someone messages saying they're popping round in ten minutes?
And suddenly you're running around the house like a woman possessed, shoving washing into cupboards and pretending you've had your life together all morning? π
That's when a room spray comes in handy!
Our SHC room sprays are perfect for adding a quick burst of fragrance to your home.
Keep one in the living room, bedroom or hallway so you can give the room a little refresh whenever you fancy.
You can even choose different fragrances for different rooms.
A fresh laundry scent in the bedroom, something fruity in the kitchen and a gorgeous perfume-inspired fragrance in the living room.
Your house, your fragrance rules!
Always follow the label directions and avoid spraying directly onto surfaces, fabrics, pets or near naked flames unless the product instructions specifically permit it.
6. Choose fragrances that work together
Here's a little trick that can make your home feel even more put together.
Instead of using completely different fragrances in every room, try choosing scents that complement each other.
For example:
The fresh and clean home
Laundry-inspired wax melts, a fresh room spray and a clean-smelling carpet freshener.
Perfect for that just-cleaned feeling.
The sweet and cosy home
Vanilla, caramel, marshmallow and bakery-inspired fragrances.
Perfect for those evenings when you want your home feeling warm and welcoming.
The fruity home
Berry, citrus and tropical fragrances.
Gorgeous if you love bright, juicy scents that make your home feel fresh and cheerful.
You don't have to use the exact same scent in every product.
Sometimes choosing fragrances from the same family creates a lovely combination without everything smelling identical.
And if you fancy mixing things up completely?
Go for it. We're not the fragrance police. π
7. Create a little home-fragrance routine
The secret to keeping your home smelling lovely throughout the day isn't necessarily using more fragrance.
It's finding a routine that works for you.
Here's an example of how you could use your favourite SHC products throughout the day.
Morning β The fresh start
Open the windows for some fresh air, give the house a quick tidy and use your favourite vacuum disc while doing the morning hoovering.
Afternoon β The little refresh
Give your rooms a quick spritz with your favourite SHC room spray whenever they need a fragrance boost.
Evening β The cosy finish
Choose a gorgeous wax melt, pop it into your burner and enjoy a relaxing evening while the fragrance fills your room.
Just remember to extinguish your tealight and allow your burner to cool before heading to bed.
You don't need to use every product every single day. Even a few small changes can make your home feel that little bit more welcoming.
