Freshen the air in your home - Best ever advice

Great idea and we are going to try it on a listing of ours. Thanks

Good morning Mark. Thanks for the heads up, will give it a shot, as we have a dead mouse in one of our walls.

Thanks for the tip!!!

They suggested 1/2 cup white vinegar, water and some orange or lemon rinds.  Heat on the stove. Suggesting this would clean the air in your home and not just hide it.  I heat it then move to another room for a bit.

I would like to say this is a GREAT way to clean the air and have it fresh.

Thank you for the tip. I will bookmark this and share it with others.

Also bowls of vinegar in various rooms will keep a closed up home from smelling musty. It gets rid of that Grandma house smell.

Bad smells, bad karma surrounding the real estate listing selling... if you can smell it, you can't sell it. Unless we're talking sparkling clean and brownies baking as you enter the kitchen. Go easy on the over powering candles... especially thinking they will over power the three heaping cat boxes. Not gonna neutralize that strong dank odor.

I sprinkle some cinnamon into the water and vinegar solution and simmer it on the stove. Or you can get it to almost boiling in the microwave and put it in various rooms around the house. It smells great!

Mark, Perhaps I will try this the next time I cook broccoli … that smell seems to linger for days.  So glad that keeping Halley outside is out of the question.  I believe our pets are part of the family and they belong inside with us … and loved unconditionally.

Happy Easter

Bacteria is the cause of most smells that come from living creatures. It is natural to have smell but not emily post If pets live indoors, animal cologne makes sense

Hi Mark - Thanks for the tip - with three dogs and a cat, we'll definitely give this a try.

This is a great natural way of freshening up and cleaning the air. Thank you for sharing.

Simple tip yet so valuable! Thanks for sharing it! My pooch is on the sofa snoozing away at the moment, and a little air freshener couldn't hurt!

This is a very good tip to share. Congratulations on the feature recognition.

Thanks Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint awesome advice for freshening.  Thanks.

I have a question... How much water do you use? Do you add the same amount of water as the vinegar?

It seems that vinegar is the answer to many problems.  I have had a problem with a listing and will try this immediately. 

Is Halley a Bernese?  Our dog looks like a border collie, but she clearly has a Bernese parent . . .

I just sent the link to your blog to my dad- he is in the middle of a rehab that he can't get the smell out of- hopefully this will help!!! 

Good recipe. I've tried a similar potion and it works well. I usually use it to neutralize cooking odors.

Using natural ingredients is so much better than anything with chemicals.  Most people enjoy the smell of citrus and that's why I recommend a natural spray called Pure Citrus .. it's made of enzymes and has a wonderful, natural scent.

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint - some solutions are simple - it's just a matter of knowing it!

Thanks for this simple trick for freshen the air in the home.
