For those that go the unnatural way and use store bought plug in things, what do you like best? We need something in the kids' bathroom! John is doing so well with pooping in the potty, which means more stink than before!
I don't like fruity, food smells (like cookies or whatever), or most floral. I like things like sandalwood, bergamont, etc.
go smell the freshly baked...it doesn't smell like food to me. it smells more woody/spicey or something.

I just saw plug-in things at Cracker Barrel. (I had to get a new one for my car).
Coconut Bay is what I ended up with - it's so yummy. Sun and sand smells divine, too. They're all kind of tropical smelling - not flowery, but not food-y either.

I was thinking I'd want something that could constantly work, not something I have to tend to, you know? I don't want to go have to go into the bathroom after John (or anyone!) uses it. And I certainly can't trust John to light something when needed.

You could choose to plug it in when needed and pull it out and set it somewhere hidden when not needed. I do that in our bathroom- b/c it is small and the scent is a little much 24/7.
I really don't like vanilla. The linen one is a good idea!

Smart! In two bathrooms we do have shelves that they could sit on. In one we don't, but I could kind of hide it in the corner behind the clawfoot tub or something.

lately our home is dog scented
mud season plus dogs is a bad idea, lol.
I have a couple of bath and body works plug in thingys, that I like for the pumpkin scent in fall and the tree scent around christmas.
I mostly use essential oils in a couple of little burners and candles. I love candles.
we like incense too.

I smelled a ton more at the store the other day, lol. This is a whole new aisle for me as I always was a natural, no fake scents kind of gal. Definitely the slightly pricey name brands are the best.

at Lowe's and Home Depot they have these things that hook onto the air filter of your furnace/ac. They're pretty strong at first but then they mellow out to a nice, whole house scent. I use fragrance oil or essential oil to re-fragrance them.

I forgot that I used to just put EO right on the air filter! No need to buy special scented things!
Yk? It never really dawned on me to scent my home!
I open windows every day and love when something good has been baked and enjoy the scent of line dryed linens (that outdoor air really leaves a perfume smell!)
I think I would pick peach scent if I did scent though. Yum!

I am going to check on the method cleaner. Almond scent sounds terrific.
