Any more fun ideas for clean or cozy touches in your house?
Here's a couple things i like to do.
Clean toilet like normal then pour a some bleach and some mouth wash in the toilet. Smells good like a motel! Funny idea but i love it ---got it from my sis-in-law who got it from a relative.
I love how my mom-in-law always goes around turning on lamps when it starts getting dark. Instantly cozy. I tend to forget lil' lights like that and just turn on the big main light. Now I try to remember the lil' lights!

I'm with you on the lamp thing...I don't like overhead lights, unless the extra light is really needed. DH grew up with overhead lights, so this has been a difference of ours, but not a big issue. Trying to think of some other ideas... |

Wipe off your kitchen counters with pine sol or a lemon scented cleaner. Your whole house will smell like you've been cleaning. |

Same here!! :)
I love candles burning, esp in the wintertime. My sis-in-law gave me a candle warmer and I use that alot because my children have this thing with blowing out my candles!! |

I was gonna say the thing of simmering water with some cinnamon sprinkled in... sounds like it's a easy version of Valita's peels & cinn sticks. I've already put some vanilla in with the cinnamon too. I'll have to try fruit peels next time I have some. :)
And, yeah, candles! I go thro' so many in the winter! And I'm gonna try the toilet thing!

This has nothing to do with smells or anything, but I sometimes like to play soft music, not singing, just music. I especially like piano music. I think it's relaxing. I like Jim Brickman, Dino, George Winston, etc. I started using Pandora Radio (online). |

This might gross some of you germaphobics out there but I like to fix my water that i use to wash of my cupards and chairs and furniture in the kitchen sink then when i am done and let it down the drain the clean smell of the soap remains for quite a while.I spray the sink with some disinfecting cleaning spray if I don't forget... |

Flowers!! They always make a house look more inviting and sometimes help it smell nice, too. Once I'm a rich, old lady :D I'm going to buy fresh flowers every week during the winter.
For smelly garbage disposals, run a bunch of ice cubes and hot water through it. It will sometimes loosen a bunch of black yucky stuff, but by the end it'll be a lot better. Putting an orange or lemon through also makes it smell better. |

I just discovered after buying a very perfumed bar of soap, that it is actually working kind of as an air freshner in my tiny bathroom. It's neat because it's a very faint, clean smell that doesn't overpower.
