Sorry about the pics fam, I tried!
Fall night long onesThese work
I was about to say, this is the actual cheat code if you aren’t that serious about deep cleaning your home. Mop your floors with this real quick and the entire house smells amazing. Fabuloso is one of the few cleaners that gets a reaction fromBreh mop the floor with this + baking soda and warm water. the scent stays for days.
My man conducting science experiments.First and foremost clean and air the house out regularly. Don't pile up weeks of laundry.
If you have pets take care of them well, clean after them and get rid of waste asap.
Baking soda mixed with all cleaning products.
And of course being a Hood Spanish Nikka
Camphor cubes in water in a glass vase deodorizes and kills insects ,
Fabuloso,
and a cheat code from my college days Glade plug in gels but not on the plug in device you put a dime sized drop on a ceramic tea light oil burner
Then add a few drops of lavender, or eucaliptus oil
In my college days glade Hawaiian Breeze oil burning + baby scent fabuloso cleaned floor + the last Dragon playing on my tv = got the drawers by the time rhythm of the night dance number comes on had a closing rate as good as Mariano Rivera.
Those aldi candles are no joke.Ventilation, ventilation, ventilation! That and constant air circulation are the biggest ones.
Unless it's extremely hot or extremely cold I try to have some windows open or a fan going in various areas. Keeping the doors to any rooms open at all times (unless for sleeping or privacy) is another good tip.
I burn incense or incense oils from any local smoke shop at different intervals throughout the day most days. And if I've cooked something really.... fragrant I'll burn a candle for an hour or two in my kitchen or living room. (Aldi has some really good three wicks for around $5 that easily rival Bath & Body Works or Yankee on a slow day. I highly recommend citrus & tobacco or blood orange and persimmon).
I also try to be mindful of what I clean with and how much I use. I was raised on Pine Sol, Murphy's Wood Soap, Fabuloso etc and I know my people love a good, STRONG scented cleaner, but as I got older I found a lot of that shyt was actually meant to be DILUTED...heavily .
Now, unless it's a spray cleaner I don't use anything straight out the bottle because most of that stuff is weighed down with chemicals and fragrances that actually trap and attract dirt and bad odors. That goes for everything from floors to furniture.
This is also why I don't use Febreze or any kind of "fabric refreshers". They smell great when you first spray it but they're basically coating your upholstery and home in a layer of film that builds up over time and can only be broken down by frequent and thorough shampooing which I don't feel like doing.
This shyt right here is a game changer. I got the one that has a heat lamp that melts from above and doubles as a night light.

A bit expensive but keeps the whole crib smelling lovely. It’s what department stores and hotels use. I got the at home version. I live on the 2nd floor and have a pretty big apartment but soon as you step in my building you can smell it.
probably the best bang for the buck in this thread. this cheap shyt works better than the expensive stuff to clean the bathrooms.
