Odors can build up in your home, and sometimes you need to do something special to freshen it. Does your home need a good freshening? Here's what I do: Boil citrus and herbs for a quick fix. In the picture below, I'm using lemons, oranges and basil. Here how:
- Boil the mixture for a few minutes.
- Turn down the heat and let it simmer on the stove.
It's an economical way to have your house smell fresh and clean. I do this often, especially this time of year when the windows aren't open as much and odors accumulate. I find that citrus works best, and I switch up the herbs. My favorites are basil, lemongrass and mint. But you can use whatever you like, such as:
- tropical fruits
- rosemary
- cinnamon sticks
- star anise
- cloves
- orange peels
- rose petals
Enjoy!
