THANKS FOR WATCHING! - Jak na to + styl
My tried and tested stove top simmer recipe: lemon, cinnamon sticks, cloves, rosemary
I use puppy pads in the bottom of the trash can to absorb any trash can messes. Keeps can clean. I also use the puppy pads for cooking grease instead of down the drain. Pour the cooled grease on the pad and fold it up and place in a plastic bag. Toss in trash can. Good bye grease!!
That's such a smart idea.
Great idea!
Great idea!
I recently shifted to a nearby motel, as this helps keep the house clean and it smells amazing because I have the Lavender breeze air wick!
I just want you to know, that you give me motivation.
through some lightweight depression, loneliness, I see your videos, get up and clean (a little bit)
thank you.

@@sakanablesakanable I've been thinking of taking a little "staycation" at a nearby motel, for like 2 days?
@@shakaama Yes, but what's the point, it is going to need cleaning again when you return and start living again.
The tips are useful and I appreciate them. I clean my garbage can every time I empty them, I'm not waiting the day after. One of the reason for this is that I'm from a tropical country twice a year minimum would not work. I do put newspaper at the bottom, but as extra protection against smells etc I add baking soda. Its effective, and I add baking soda to the garbage bag, put some in and shake the bag for the soda to spread throughout and then put the bag in the bin. I'm a big fan of baking soda, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, liquid soap and essential oil esp tea tree and vanilla. With this my home is clean.
I like my house to smell like fresh linen. Oh that scent just does something to me...
Lilac is my favorite scent. My grandmother had a lilac bush in her front yard and smell of lilacs always takes me back to her house ♥️

I love the scent of lilacs, too! I have wonderful memories of the bushes we had in the yard, when I was a child.
My grandmother also
I love opening windows in my home as often as the weather allows it. Fresh air! Also we always have our air purifier running.

Yay. I take garbage out every night. Some people Polish sinks. Some get ALL trash out and start new in the a m! Thanks for these wonderful ideas! My fave smell is Glade Cashmere Woods. So hard to find right now!!
I cut a fabric softener in half and put it in each shoe before putting away for a season.
It works well.
You and Chad are so Funny 😁 Great Hearted Souls.
I like our house to smell like coffee and vanilla. I use your trick of putting said items in the crock pot and letting it cook away. It's a game changer.
I have a small garbage can and I reuse the grocery veggie bags for garbage bags. Change them out every night. Makes a difference on smells.
Thanks, Melissa! Could you make a video that focuses on how best to keep a house clean with pets i.e. dog odours and cat litters, etc.
Second this!
This video made me order a diffuser with essential oils from Amazon. Can't wait.😂 Thanks Melissa!
Recently bought a bread machine. One reason was for the fresh bread smell. It'll make little 1 lb loaves so can enjoy more often.
I feel you Chad...I've been eating cookie cough since 1975 and I'm totally fine. LOL I love the smell of Tea Tree in my cleaners - it's my version of the "clean scent". I use peppermint, tea tree, and Eucalyptus EO in my APC (all purpose cleaner); orange and tea tree EO + Peppermint castile soap in my bathroom cleaner; thyme, rosemary, and clove in my disinfectant spray - great in shoes; and tea tree, thyme & clove in my kitchen countertop cleaner.
I’d love that recipe at the end! Lemon, vanilla and rosemary but the ratios? Sounds intriguing! Love these tips. Thank you! Like so much ♥️
Melissa, I prefer for my house to smell like vanilla, which is a scent my husband will tolerate. I use a cotton balls, which I place in strategic locations. I use a vanilla essential oil in my diffusers and on my stove mixed with cinnamon and citrus. I’m not a summer person, but, I agree opening the windows is the best fresh air solution 😀
Am I the only one that opens my windows in the Winter or just live in Cali and winters like summer elsewhere🥰🤪
Favorite scent for the house? Apple pie, or cinnamon bun. It immediately reminds me of my grandmother's pies and baking. She lived with us, and loved to bake. The house would smell so good when I came home after school.

Great tips, thank you Melissa.
This video came exactly when needed. I want to find ways to make my home smell better with less toxic products. Thank you!
Great tips. Some I didn't I think about think about. Usually just buy commercial products. Thank you for the savings. Items I already have!
The cookie dough bit made me chuckle. 😆 I may make some chocolate chip cookies later. 😋
This was awesome!!
Chad is such a good sport lol btw, I love your kitchen!
Lavendar/vanilla
Lemongrass/jasmine
Thanks for the great content!
:D
I have my third order in for a variety of your products. Love them. Definitely the best I have tried. I should have purchased sooner. Lol.
One trick I use to keep smells and sandflies down is keeping compost in the freezer. Where I am there are big paper bags that are wax lined that I can even toss grease and liquids. Before I found them. I was using paper lunch bags, but no liquids and grease only after it congealed
Love it ❤❤
😍Thank you 😍
Thks❤
Brownies. Love the smell of baking brownies.
Great 👃 tips! Your banter is entertaining and your style is so fun. I want to duplicate your wardrobe!
Balsam tree scent is my favorite
My husband also tries to eat the cookie dough tubes as if they were a chipotle burrito 🌯🤣
Your not suppose to eat cookie dough that way?
I love lavender!!
Fun ideas.
For wet compost, I purchased a stainless steel bucket for $25 from Amazon with an exchangeable charcoal filter. No Smells
I started living in a nearby motel, as this helps keep the house clean and it smells amazing!
1st comment❗
Another great video - thank you for being so inspiring
Thanks for watching :)
Whatever Abercrombie does to make their store smell amazing... that scent. Or new shoes. Any day
I like the smell of coffee, crock pot, cinnamon sticks, balsam fir, vanilla, rose,
Any recommendations on cleaning rubber floor tiles in a home gym? Thanks! Love your tips!
My house smells like roses. I live in a dry area and use my humidifiers that have diffuser cups so I add water and rose oil to them.
Our whole house fan is the best purchase we ever made. Our climate runs from 40 F to 105 F and we use it most days. More than heat or AC. There is nothing like exchanging all the air in your house in less than 5 minutes. It’s so fresh.
Who needs air fresheners when you have a whole house fan? Fresh air in under 5 minutes is definitely a win!
Rose favorite scent
I’m a fan of Clean my space since 2012 🎉 thank you for your great content , it helped me A LOT !
I have to say i love your hair too😂❤ i need to know what are you using and what is your haircare routine PLEASE 😍
I have to be super careful what EOs and (more importantly) delivery methods I use around my bird. But my favorite scent combos include citrus. If I could figure out how to make a natural ‘rain/grass’ scent, I’d also go for that. As for delivery methods, diffusers and aerosolized products are out of the question, but a basic spray bottle works great, as long as I’m not too close. Vinegar is my cleaner of choice, just letting it air out a bit before he goes back in. As for the rest of the house, gotta love cinnamon and fruit!
What's your favourite smell in your home?
Clean
I love lemongrass or lemon verbena for cleaning. I love that as a clean home smell. Also, lavender too. 🌸
Fresh linen
Absolutely no smell ! Just the same as outside & fresh air circulating
Pipe tobacco
How do you organize your cleaning supplies and what caddy do you use?
❤ veľmi nápomocné pre bežného človeka.
I prefer the smells of various citrus, sometimes with peppermint and/or lavender.
I appreciate your DIY cleaning recipes, but I'm very sensitive to the scent of vinegar. Any suggestions on how to minimize it (without just throwing another strong scent on top to make a nastier combo)? also in the vinegar vein, sometimes when I buy large containers for cleaning, it can yellow. Do you know if it is still useful when that happens?
Cinnamon and fresh coffee!
Lemongrass all the way!
The clean smell
Hi Melissa,
I'm trying pretty much all your DIY cleaning and disinfecting recipes - mostly very good.
One recipe that hasn't worked for me is to take orange and lemon peals, put them in a mason jar with either rubbing alcohol or vinegar to improve the smell.
Some juices, sugar from the peels does come out and that will translate in to trying to clean with orange juice - leaves a sugary orange trail.
I also tried the lemon peels in a blender recipe for some natural bleach, but when I open the blender it exploded with lemon slime on my walls, ceiling and my face.
I probably got the recipe wrong, but still the chopped up lemon peels are going to be a slimy substance which will stick on shirts and other clothes, linens.
Thanks M.

Bread baking is also a comforting aroma.
I couldn’t find the link to the large room diffuser. I have several small ones but they don’t produce as much as I’d like. Also what can you use to mop true hardwood floors that won’t stripe the coating?
I used to have stove top simmering going all the time at the cottage and one time I went to bed and forgot it on low. I got up to pee and found the pot empty. It freaked me right out. You gotta be extra careful with doing that. If you do, maybe turn it off a couple of hours before bed.
sweet pea essential oil the best! i do want to try that santal? essential oil but its SO expensive thank you !
Do you leave stuff on the floor for any amount of time or do you just mop up right afterwards? Love apple orange, vanilla, pine, fresh cut grass ,. Outdoor smells but not the mud smell. Thanks for mentioning the dirt laundry in a clean closet. My daughter at college didn't believe me. You know moms never anything until someone else says the same thing. Well your daughter is young. Right now you know everything but give it time. About 11 or 12 you won't know anything according to her. Thanks for all of your advice . Thanks for your time and effort too.
Hi I live in apt building and the s,all tiles are dirty. I washed floor a few times with mr clean than pin soletc a few times and still really dirty even with clean rinse often. Still really dirty. I think I have to hire a stream clean mach8ne unless you have some suggestions please help 🥰🙏
What was the product you suggested for mild mold spots
I truly miss getting my windows wide open. We live in south Florida for the last ten years and our AC runs 98 % of the time and the remaining 2 % when the weather gets cool enough to open window there is this time of year when this tree is blooming that I’m allergic to. So I get my windows wide open about once a year. Unfortunately. I also miss sleeping with the open windows.
I love diffusers but I have a hard time getting rid of a scent to switch to another one. Any suggestions how to get rid of the old oil scent?
I love your cleaning hacks and I love the paint color in your bedroom...can you please share your paint color? Also, how did you get your husband to agree to the color?
Lavender or citrus depending on my mood. BTW, living alone doesn't eliminate odors.
Hi, Melissa. Do you think that there is any risk that your recipe for floors may damage laminate flooring. I’m concerned about the rubbing alcohol ingredient. Many thanks
What can I use to replace rubbing alcohol in some of these recipes? I faint at the smell of rubbing alcohol! Thank you in advance. PS. Love all your ideas!
Cedar balsam and fir. And Rosemary.
Im always out there cleaning my garbage cans and my neighbors think Im nuts!!! 🤣🤣
Lavender.
The used-car we ended up buying reeks of cigarette smoke are the enzyme cleaners like for cat pee the best way to get rid of cigarette smell
You can also just leave a couple cut up apples for a day or two. It really works!
For shoes, what about those charcoal bags?
Lemon and or fresh flowers
What essential oils do you use?
I am not the owner of our home's vacuum my son is. I took him to pick it out within our budget. I purchased what he wanted. It is his job to vacuum. 🎉

What is the best way to clean a white leather couch to get dye from dark clothing off safely?
Every ones house has a smell just some are stinky lol ..I love you're faces u made😅
Haha, glad you enjoyed my facial expressions, maybe I was reacting to a particularly strong smell!
So I live in a town house. My neighbors are smoking pot. I can smell it in my unit. I have talked to the landlord and they said they send out letters but it is hard to reinforce. Any suggestions?
👏👏
How is everyone doing today?
Livin the life… How are y’all 🎉
Taking it one day at a time.
Where oh where did that gorgeous black (maybe navy) blouse come from??? I want!!!! You are so stylish!
How do you clean a not real leather couch?
Where did you buy your essential oills?
Try Whole Foods they have a big variety.
Did I miss you say vinegar and soda down all sink and tub drains monthly or bi weekly? It clears pea trap of unhealthy gunk that off gasses. Cloth better than paper for soda shoe fresh er . Crumpled unglossy newspaper draws out moisture so replace wet paper and it freshens shoes or thermoses or coolers and trunks or out of season containments that are dry.
I have a hard time finding vanilla essential oil that is an oil and/or has authentic vanilla scent. I have done so much research but nothing conclusive ever is found by me. Any suggestions?
Try Whole Foods they have EO’s that the vitamin stores don’t even have.
I like my house to smell like coffee an chocolate . An I don't like the coffee scent to be real strong . Just seems to be welcoming to me . ❤️
I recently shifted to a nearby motel, as this helps keep the house clean and it smells amazing because I have the Lavender breeze air wick!!
Peaches or apples... I love fruit.
I'm confused 8:40 - 9:06.. you that you like mopping up any oils from your feet or pets, but yet you are spraying essentials back onto your cleaned floors, wouldn't that make it kinda greasy/slippery or sticky, or does the alcohol take care of that...explain please.
How to remove cigarette smoke odor?
17:08 Put the water in a thing with a tea light under it. (What's the name. I'm not native English)
Ceramic burner. I like using that too
@@cindyvw Yes! That's the word. Thanks.
And: Put a little fabric softener in water on the Ceramic burner, and your room smells like the wash has just been done.
@@johnroekoek12345 I love that! I'm going to try it now
