It is very easy for your home to be affected by many different odours coming from the different rooms in your house, but it is not too difficult to get rid of smells you do not enjoy, and replace them with fresher, and cleaner odours.
These three life hacks to make your home smell fresh instantly are super easy to do, and use minimal ingredients which can be found in your home.
Lemon water
Carolina has taken to Instagram to share how she makes her kitchen smell super fresh instantly by making use of three household ingredients.
She starts off by pouring water into a pot, and then allows for it to heat up. While the water is heating up, she adds one cup of vinegar, slices of a whole lemon, and one tablespoon of vanilla essence.
She leaves all the ingredients to boil and simmer in the pot for some time, allowing the aroma of all of the ingredients to fill up the kitchen and make it smell fresh.
