In my previous post as part of my Home Ownership 101 series, I shared how to prepare for various disasters and emergencies which can strike our homes at any time. Today’s post is just a quick addendum, which emphasizes prevention of several of those unfortunate events as well as tips for recognizing a few other issues which could turn up in the future. Simply being aware of potential problems and taking steps to prevent them can help you avoid emergencies, financial loss, or even health consequences down the road and give you some peace of mind at the same time. *This post contains affiliate links.
There’s nothing more frustrating than spending days or even weeks getting the house perfectly clean, freshening up the decor and having everything in order, only to begin smelling an obnoxious odor! This has happened to me several times, and it always seems it is right before company arrives! I have always felt that a home must smell pleasant in order to be truly clean and inviting, so nothing annoys me more than foul odors. Even the slightly stale smell that comes from a home being closed up for a few days can make a home seem dirty.
Scent is an important and often overlooked aspect of home decor because it is an important finishing touch when creating a beautiful and welcoming home environment. Fresh and natural smelling candles and essential oils can completely change the whole mood of a room.

In this post we will take a look at some ways to keep your home smelling fresh using all natural products.
