Boil Cinnamon

Create a fragrance for your fridge

But here’s another tip, dampen a cotton ball with vanilla extract and leave it on your refrigerator shelf – it will then add a pleasantly sweet fragrance. If you are not a fan of sweet smells, you can use lemon juice instead to add a citrusy smell.

Use your light bulbs to create a scent

You can easily make your home smell heavenly with just a flip of a switch. First turn off your lights until the bulbs are cool enough, then place a couple drops of vanilla extract or peppermint oil onto it and once you flip the lights on, the heat will easily spread the scent and the aroma will fill the room.
