put a bar of smelly good soap in an old sock place in a drawer to keep clothes smelling fresh

I've heard of using rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle, I think mixed 50/50 with water, instead of shower fresh.

After washing my lace curtains I hang them up with the window open so they diffuse the house with a nice fresh scent while they dry.

I slip a scented dryer sheet in the bottom of the garbage can, in stinky shoes, in the sofa cushions, beside the cat litter pan, in front of my osculating floor fan and in my linen closet for a nice fresh scent throughout the whole house.

I use a fresh scented dryer sheet in my vacuum cleaner to diffuse the house with a fresh clean scent while I vacuum.

answer to microfiber couch- I have 2 boys (3 and 1) and I sit for 2 girls (almost 2 and 1). I use my carpet steam cleaner once a month with the soft brush attachment to clean my micro fiber couch. Resolve carpet cleaner is what I found works best for stains and keeps it smelling fresh and soft.

i use mouthwash too clean my bathroom cabinets it kills any bacteria and also leaves a fresh clean smell

how do i get my washing machine smelling lovely and fresh and not like a smeely armpit?

for homemade shower fresh: ½ cup laundry detergent and ½ cup vinegar mixed with three cups water. Pour into a 32 oz spray bottle and mist on daily. No need to wipe down or rinse. or 1 Cup vinegar, 1 squirt of Dawn, 1/4 Cup Jet Dry Pour all ingredients into a spray bottle. Fill the rest of the way with water. Do it slowly. Cascade can be replaced with Jet Dry

I live in the US. There is a product in the market called Shower Fresh. I spray it on my glass shower doors, tiles, entire tub/shower space, after every shower. I rarely have to really scrub my shower or tub. I wonder if there is a way to make something at home that would work as well, but save money. Any suggestions?

i had a red wine stains on my light ivory coloured leather sofa we had a few people over and the wine wasnt noticed until the next day. i used lemon cif on my sofa to remove a wine stain and wiped it off with a baby wipe. i regularly clean it with a lemon and always wipe it off with a baby wipe. this has completely removed the stain no hard rubbing needed, it keeps it nice and fresh also.

Don't discard your old bits of scented wax from old candles. Use a cheese grater to shave the bits into managable bits. Place them in a net material. Leave them in your linen closet, drawers and closets to keep them smelling fresh.

To remove/kill molds/mildow wipe surface with Listerine antiseptic Mouthwash. It will keep it from coming back as well. If you use Cool mint flavour, it will leave a fresh sent. (great for walls, floors, windows and even carpets)

If you have cat smells (I had 10 cats!!! I know this is an issue) such as a male spraying on smething such as shoes, purses or if you want to remove smoke odors from something (this only works on things that can be placed in a plastic toter.) put about 1 inch of kitty litter (non-clumping) in the bottom of a large plastic storage box, take a grate of some sort, fridge stove whatever you can set something out of the litter with, and let it set in there about a week. It will pull out and absorb horrible scents. If you can set the box outside in the sun - that's even better! This works great on books and musty items too - even horribly stinky shoes!!! To keep shoes fresh, take an old nylon knee-high stocking and fill it partially with litter and stuff it into the shoes overnight, each night!

To keep the fridge smelling fresh, try soaking a few cotton balls in vanilla extract and placing in a dish. Keep it in the fridge, and change every few weeks.

I got this tip from some nurse friends on getting blood out of fabrics. I have used it on both fresh blood stains and old ones. Soak in Hydrogen Perioxide (do not dilute) and after letting it do its work breaking down the enzymes in the blood stain, rinse and if necessary use ordinary bar of soap or laundry detergent and gently scrub.

If you have had a sore throught or your kids have dropped their toothbrush">toothbrush, use orange flavored listerine to soak your toothbrush">toothbrush in for ten minutes. I also like to rinse out the tooth brush holder with this. It has a nice fresh smell .

A suggestion for getting dishwasher clean. I make a paste out of warm water and baking soda. With those new "cleaning erasers", I scrub all the insides with the mixture. Then take a clean rag or towel and dip it in warm to hot water and go over the entire surface. It not only cleans, but neutralizes odors. For the outside, I use a soft cloth and window cleaner. I wipe my dishwasher, inside and out about once a week to keep it clean and fresh. That way, you don't have to ever work hard scrubbing it.

To keep your wooden cutting boards fresh, rub lemon wedges over the board after you've used them. Remember never to put wood in an automatic dishwasher, and NEVER let it soak in standing water. It'll soak up the nasties, get warped, and be more prone to get smelly. :)

I clean a smelly garbage disposal with large chunks of grapefruit rind. It cleans the gunk off the blades, and leaves a fresh scent.
