    Opening windows every morning for like 10 to 15 minutes (aka Lüften) is actually like citiziens duty here in germany😁 A really nice tip i got from my mom is to store little bags of dried lavender in between your clothes, its actually to keep moths away, but also leaves a sublte lavender smell on your clothes and in your closet😍 (plus they can look really cute, made out of patterned fabric or with embroidery)

      I live in a high rise in mid-Atlantic region on the east coast of the US. I love to open my windows as you’ve suggested in the Spring and later in the Fall. Unfortunately, we have serious heat and humidity all summer and early Fall. The high rise I live in insist we NOT open windows once they turn on the air conditioning as it is very difficult to remove the humidity in the building if you open windows. My home is basically air tight for at least 4 months a year, where we need something to freshen the air because the windows are shut tight!

    FIRE HAZARD!!! The tip with putting essential oils on light bulbs can cause FIRES as the bulbs can get too hot and/ or the oil can get down in the contacts and cause a short! This was from several fire depts so please double check this before doing!! "Nearly all essential oils are flammable. There are a few such as wintergreen, sandalwood, and clove bud that have flashpoints above the required 199.4 degrees Fahrenheit specified by OSHA to be classified as flammable. However, they can all catch fire fairly easily. The flashpoint for essential oils can range from 100 to 215 degrees Fahrenheit (37 to 102 Celsius). The average flashpoint is around 140 degrees Fahrenheit, which classifies as a Class 3 flammable liquid by OSHA."

    Europeans always air the house in the morning, before making beds, and in the evening - before sleep, even on winter evenings. European windows open towards inside, so you can often wash the outside, and they have an option to open angled, top in, so you don't have to remove anything from the window sill.

    A pro tip for getting rid of smells without covering/mixing them with other scents: Spray vodka on it (and air it out)! My sister taught me this. She is a Costume Designer and often works with garments, wigs or puppets that are pretty much impossible to wash. The alcohol gets rid of odors without harming most materials and (depending on the percentage of alcohol) may even act as a desinfectant.
    One thing I learned from my mom: Dried lavender in a little linen bag works wonders in any closet or sock drawer! ;)
    And in case you have a mint or sage plant in your home: Just pluck a leave every other day, even if you don't use it right away (just freeze it in an ice cube or something). The plant will release it's natural scent in response.
    Also, I just wanted to add: I hate the Febreze smell, too. My other no-nos are artificial vanilla and the NIVEA scent. I don't know how well known NIVEA skincare is outside of Germany, but it's so common round here that it can be a challenge to avoid.

      Nivea in the USA doesn't have a scent. What I had in Switzerland is unscented, too. So, no idea about Nivea in Germany. They do make a body lotion for diabetics (just released in 2022) that smells like roses, but I doubt you are using that. Anyway, it's a scent that hispanic populations love and I think smells great. I am not hispanic, but when I was a teacher a lot of the parents wore a rose scent, which was lovely.

    My great-grandmother taught me to use a pot of water simmering on the stove with mulling spices in it to sent my home. I add orange peels when I have them at the time. I've also done orange peels and rosemary simmering. If the water gets low you just add more and it works fabulously. I usually save the extra to be used another time until it wears out.

      America is as big as Europe and very air conditioned. In parts of the country where weather is mostly not extreme, people open windows. But, we do need to improve on this. I'm 72 and grew up i an older home with open windows at night and a few Window air conditioned rooms like the huge kitchen, and den. Our homes are a lot bigger in general, so opening my bedroom and kitchen windows are a must. We have a lot of windows, I have 2 large fixed glass ones to see the woods. Often they're on both sides of a fireplace in modern styles with very high ceilings. Every place is different. When I lived in cold New Hampshire, -30 F
      In the Winter, many open their windows a few inches to air out the wood stove pollution for a few hrs. At times. The joys of modern living🙄

    I love your channel! Definitely among my favorites for interior design!
    On top of some of the tips you mentioned, for my home, I have an essential oil diffuser in just about every room, and they are almost always running. I also add a couple of drops of essential oils to the vacuum filters, and to the AC filter every time I switch them out. I also add a few drops of EO’s to a cotton ball and place them at the back of drawers and cabinets.
    Whether at home, or as a guest in a friend’s home, or in a hotel, I always get the vote for having the best smelling place. 😍

    Just came across your video. Loved that you added a few natural ways to make the home smell good. I have autoimmune issues & am basically allergic to +90% of things w/fragrances- essential oils, candles, any type of plugins like bath & body works or glade and even some perfumes. Even when I walk into stores that use fragrances, I immediately start coughing & choking. I’m highly allergic to Balsam of Peru which can be in anything with a fragrance like cleaning products, laundry detergent, candles, sprays, even some food including beer wine & citrus flavored things…. It’s honestly so hard trying to make my home have any appealing smells in it.
    I so miss using all the fun & wonderful smelling things out there. But there are a couple of things you mentioned I can definitely try.
    Thank you for including tips for those of us that can’t use typical or conventional methods. 💙We are often left out in these types of videos.

    I love all your videos. Thanks for posting your knowledge and sharing. Opening your windows is such a great suggestion. It’s interesting that when you’re outside, air smells of nothing much but if, for example, you open your bedroom window all night, then you go out of your bedroom in the morning, have your coffee, read the paper and then go back into your bedroom, it’s almost as though the room smells of a beautiful perfume just because the air is fresh. Super suggestions and I agree on all the things that do not smell great. Febreeze always reminds me of a “recently used bathroom”. Ugh. My favorite perfume is Anyway from Juliette Has a Gun and I didn’t even know they have a room spray! Thanks SO much for that info.

    Tyler Candle Laundry detergent in Diva fragrance - use a capful for washing bedsheets and towels. I also use it to wash delicates and my face mask. They make several fragrances and while it is expensive, a capful goes a long way so a 16 oz. size lasts me about a year. Some people add unscented liquid detergent to the wash if you need more detergent cleaning. I also put a dryer sheet in my suitcase when traveling and everything smells wonderful including the room where my suitcase remains open! Lastly, I put potpouri in my vacuum cleaner bag which emits a nice fragrance when you vacuum.

    I buy little organza sachet bags from Amazon, fill them with in-laundry scent boosters (Downy Infusions "Calm" is my fave), and throw them in strategic places around the house (sock drawers, etc). I was trying to figure out where to put the one in the bathroom until I watched this video. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

    Great video! I only use natural essential oils.. They are the best., and do loads of your suggestions.
    In Germany we open all our window for 5-10mins twice a day... Reduces humidity and reduces risk of mold building up.
    I use natural essential oils.. Lavender, lemon grass, peppermint, orange etc.. On dried herbs in a natural bag on my radiators. In summer I boiled water, put some in a bowl with essential oils on the shelf which works the same as a warm radiator.
    I have body shop bars of soap I put in Natural fiber soap bags and hang them in my wardrobe.

    I do like your natural foods idea's and vanilla essence.
    Things like Febreze causes allergic reactions in people who react badly to perfumes, so do incense sticks, which can irritate asthma and the same for old perfumes/dryer sheets/reed diffusers Plus opening windows in some seasons when allergens get is also is not good for asthma sufferers and those allergic to grass, tree blossom etc.
    It's really difficult to make a home scented when there are allergies but one thing I found very good is ground coffee, put some into some small containers or or dishes and hide under furniture, the room begins to smell fresh within a few hours.
