During the holidays, a lot of cooking will happen and the house smells like… well, food. Don’t get me wrong, I love food and I love making it. It’s just that when all the cooking smell mix, the scent is not very pleasing. Sometimes, this strong food smell even stick on the linens. Of course, it is also not practical nor wise to do laundry every day to make my home smell fresh and clean.
Fortunately, I found a way to keep my linens smelling great even if I have been cooking all day. Also, not only does my home smell amazing, the essential oils included in this Fresh Linen Spray recipe help with disinfecting the air in the house too!
