The Smell of A Fresh, Clean House

My house doesn't smell good, and it doesn't smell bad either. (Although, we do have a habit of not wanting to take out the trash. We argue until someone has to sometimes. Ha Ha.) So I looked up some tricks and tips online. I am attempting them. I don't have much money to waste, and I want whatever I use to last awhile I really want a strong smell good odor, but sometimes I think that is hard to achieve with products used to mask odors. 

Here is what I have found works: 

Kitchen:

-In the drawers, I use cotton balls that I dipped in vanilla. (I used the vanilla I use for baking.) 

-On the counters I use the big bottle of liquid potpourri from the Dollar Tree mixed with water. I dip my wash cloth in it and wipe down the counter. With the left over mixture, I let it boil on the stove. 

-On the sink, I rub it down with a lemon or an orange, and then squeeze juice down the drain. 

-On the floor, I have one of those mops where you mix water with your own cleaner and have a reusable pad, and I pour Pinesol, or well, the cheaper version of it to mop the floor down. 

Living Room: 

-On the furniture I use Febreze. 

-On the floor I pour out baking soda and vacuum it up. 

-I may consider candles or diffusers, so that there is a really nice smell, but as of right now, I stick to what I am doing. 

Laundry Area, Closets, and Bathroom

-Dryer sheets. They are cheap, and they make the room smell wonderful, like laundry right out of the dryer, for obvious reasons. 

Bedrooms: 

-All I have for the bedrooms is to keep the beds washed and febreeze everything. Also, use the baking soda on the floor. 

I figured all the different scents would be overwhelming, but to be honest, they are just enhancing the natural smells of "clean." 

Baking also helps keep a fresh aroma in the house. I Love to bake, and when I start making bread and stuff that we need daily, I am hoping that the house will smell even better. (I am baking muffins right now, cinnamon sugar, the smell is AMAZING! )
