My apartment doesn't smell bad, but it doesn't really smell good, either. I've tried a few candles, potpourri, aerosol sprays, and plug-in air fresheners that all work at varying degrees of effectiveness, but they usually don't last long and they're expensive. <br> <br> I already keep my place fairly clean by vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom, disinfecting countertops, sweeping and mopping often. I try to open the windows as much as possible, as weather permits.<br> <br> I've searched Ask Me, but most questions seem to be on removing odors, not solely providing pleasant ones. I did find this <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080307124836AAX1mYD">thread</a> at Yahoo Answers where a few people said simmering some water with cinnamon and/or your favorite scent was a pretty good way to make your house smell good. I haven't tried this, but I'd imagine the smell would fade after several hours (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm looking for something more long-term.<br> <br> So, has anyone found any other low cost ways of improving odors for a long period of time? <br> <br> (Also, if it helps, I'd have to say my favorite scent is vanilla.) tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.87078 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 00:44:50 -0800 apartment economical house odor smell tanminivan
