With fall here and winter on the way, you’re likely not opening as many windows these days. Combine that with lingering smells from your son’s hockey bag in the mud room and well, your home seems to take on new and unwanted smells fast. What to do? These nine products are all easy to use and will help you battle those odours.

 

A scented candle is a classic way to freshen up the air in your room and also does double duty in adding to the decor. This cutesy candle is made of 100 per cent American-grown soy wax for an eco-friendly and clean burn. Bonus: it’s handcrafted in Canada and comes in a variety of delightful scents including Pumpkin Everything, Mulled Cider and Fall Treats.

If you’re looking for a more natural approach to making your home smell better, this essential oil diffuser turns natural oils into a soft, scented mist. (Not to worry–it doesn’t leave behind an oily film.)

 

Featuring notes of Crisp Air, Fresh Laundry and Lily of the Valley, this diffuser offers a long-lasting scent–up to 90 days. It makes for an ideal stress-relieving gift.

 

While you could leave a general room freshening spray in your bathroom, this spray takes a bit of a different approach. Instead, you spritz the toilet bowl before using the washroom to stop the odours from happening. Users thought this worked particularly well in small spaces to avoid….er, “wafting.”
