A pleasant fragrance can change the atmosphere of an entire room. But even the best home fragrance will not have the same effect if unpleasant odours are still lingering or the product is not being used in the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want your home to smell good for longer, start with fresh air and clean textiles, then choose a fragrance product that suits the space.<\/strong> A reed diffuser can provide a continuous background scent, a room spray is useful for a quick refresh, while scented sachets and hangers work well in wardrobes and drawers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what can you do to make that fresh, pleasant scent last? Here are seven simple ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before adding fragrance to a room, check whether something is causing an unwanted smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Common sources include bins, drains, the fridge, damp towels, laundry baskets, pet beds and upholstered surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are dealing with a specific unwanted odour, consider using a home odour neutraliser<\/strong><\/a> designed for that purpose. Neutralising an odour and adding fragrance are not the same thing. Deal with the source first, then introduce a diffuser or another home fragrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more about neutralising unpleasant odours<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Home fragrance works best in a fresh room. It should complement clean air rather than cover up stale or lingering smells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Air out the kitchen after cooking, the bathroom after a shower and the bedroom in the morning. Regular ventilation helps clear lingering odours before you introduce fragrance into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This also gives a diffuser or other air freshener a cleaner background to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Curtains, blankets, bedding, throws and towels can all absorb smells from their surroundings. Wash them according to their care instructions and make sure they are completely dry before putting them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would also like to add fragrance to your fabrics, laundry perfume<\/a><\/strong> can be used as part of your washing routine according to the product instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For wardrobes and drawers, scented sachets<\/a> or wardrobe fragrance hangers<\/a><\/strong> are a practical option. They release fragrance gradually in smaller, enclosed spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find out how to choose a fragrance for your wardrobe<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want fragrance to remain noticeable for longer, think about how the product releases its scent, not just how it smells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reed diffusers<\/a><\/strong> gradually release fragrance into the room, making them a good choice for a continuous background scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you prefer a different format, gel air fresheners<\/a><\/strong> can provide a gradual release of fragrance, while room sprays<\/strong> <\/a>are better suited to giving a space a quick refresh. Always use each product according to the instructions on the label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sachets and scented hangers are better suited to wardrobes, drawers and other small spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When choosing a home fragrance, consider not only which scent you like, but also where you want to use it and what kind of effect you want to achieve.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Where you place your diffuser can affect how long it lasts. Keep it away from radiators, direct sunlight and draughts, which can speed up evaporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More reeds usually mean a stronger scent, but also faster liquid use. Start with fewer and adjust the intensity as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Find the Source of Unpleasant Odours First<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
