Fragrant Glade

After you have cleaned your surroundings you’ll want to keep the environment smelling fresh and fragrant. There are ever-increasing types of air fresheners out there—some passive, some active—some a combination.

Consider Glade’s lovely multi-wick Soy Based Candle. For about $8.99 you can have a delightful fragrance wafting throughout the room without even lighting the candle. Three wicks are better than one in a candle this size and the idea behind a soy-based candle is that soy wax is all-natural, burns cleaner and produces less soot and can burn up to 50% longer than candles made from paraffin.

There are six scents available including Currants & açai, Orange vanilla, and Sheer white cotton (a blissful blend of floral, woody and fruity notes such as freesia and lime), The six fragrances are also available in a single wick candle and a Reed Diffuser.The aroma is subtle yet heavenly.

Another option of course is spray fragrance. With the Sense & Spray you can have the fragrance without pushing the button. Sense & Spray has a built-in motion sensor and automatically releases concentrated burst of freshness. It works well and after about 30 days it can be refilled with cartridges in scents such as Clean Linen, Apple Cinnamon, Powder Fresh and Country Garden.

A favorite air freshener with a bonus is Glade's Wisp Flameless Candle. Not a candle at all-- there is no flame--you get the effect of a scented candle without any of the safety issues. The glow is very realistic and the scent that automatically puffs out over time is very refreshing, indeed. This is really an innovative product.

All these are easily available and affordable so you can put one of

each in rooms throughout your environment to create an atmosphere of inviting

and relaxing fragrance.

The Scent of a Dog (or Cat)

We love our pets. We don’t love the odor -- in spite of timely baths and grooming --that sometimes lingers in a room long after the dog or cat has left the premises.

A few products have started appearing on the market that should help not just layer the air with a more pleasing fragrance, but might actually help dissipate the malodorous scents that don’t leave the area when your pet does. Glade is one company offering pet odor patrol products. Febreze is another.

The Febreze line offers a few ways to eliminate pet odors gracefully. Air Effects Pet Odor Eliminator did so well in the marketplace that the brand has launched companion forms of the Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator. Use one or several for layers of fragrance that will purge offending smell from the premises:

Plug-In Febreze—the oil this works continuously to help keep the air in a room from screaming, “A very lovable but wet-cornflake smelling dog was just here.”

Candle: Light this to diffuse a warm scent that can light the area with a glowing fragrance.

Febreze Air Effects Pet Odor Eliminator: A nice light but hard-working scent to recharge the atmosphere with an aggreeable secent.

Febreze Fabric Refresher spray: The one that started it all. The Pet Odor Eliminator fragrance can help freshen fabrics on sofas, curtains, pillows and your pet’s bed (just remove the pet and any toys and chews before you spray).

All of these work very nicely, indeed.
