Fortunately, there are safe and natural alternatives for freshening our homes without the use of harsh chemicals. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Essential Oils:  Essential oils, derived from plants, are a great way to add a pleasant scent to our homes while also benefiting from their natural properties. Simply add a few drops to a diffuser, mix with water in a spray bottle, or apply to cotton balls and place them around the house.

2. Baking Soda:  Baking soda is a natural deodorizer and can be used in a variety of ways to freshen our home. Sprinkle it on carpets before vacuuming, place an open box in the fridge to absorb odors, or add a cup to a load of laundry for extra freshness.

3. Vinegar:  White vinegar is not only great for cleaning, but it also has deodorizing properties. To freshen up a room, mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and use it as a room spray. It can also be used to remove odors from fabrics by spraying onto the affected area and letting it dry.

4. Citrus Fruits:  Citrus fruits, such as lemons and oranges, have a fresh and invigorating scent that can help eliminate odors. Try simmering some citrus peels and spices on the stove, or add a few drops of citrus essential oil to a diffuser.

5. Plants:  Indoor plants not only add beauty to our homes, but they also help to purify the air and absorb odors. Some plants, such as lavender and jasmine, also have natural scents that can freshen up a room.

6. Simmering Potpourri:  A simple and natural way to freshen our home is to simmer a pot of water with herbs, spices, and fruits. Some great combinations to try include cinnamon sticks and apple slices, or rosemary and lemon slices.
