Any tips on keeping my home smelling clean and fresh?

I own dogs and clean all the time and also burn candles but maybe someone has some other ideas instead of candles and air freshner.

    - Potpourri in a crock pot.

    - Febreeze.

    - Carpet powder.

    - Drop some vanilla extract in a pot of water & boil it.

    - Sprinkle Coffee grounds onto the carpet and vacuum it up. Coffee grounds are a good, natural deodorizer, often used to help with gasoline spills.

    - Oreck Air purifier with a scented insert.

    I find the Febreeze or Bath& Body Works plug ins work longer than candles or spray. I also use a vaccuum powder before I vaccuum.

    Fresh cut scented flowers work wonders and also Fabreeze if you have ever heard of it. You spray it on curtains and upholstery and micro-capsules capture the odours. Also having windows open as often as possible helps.

    a combination of white vinegar and baking soda and water works for me..8 ounces of water with a tablespoon of vinegar and a pinch of baking soda mixed in a spray bottle will clean about anything and get rid of odors...Dont put much baking soda in the mix or you will have to rinse afterwards.

    I heard some people put bounce sheets in their drawers!

    Also, baking desserts and cooking can always leave a nice smell.

    I keep dryer sheets in places like bathroom drawers, pillow cases and under couch cushions.

    If you add lemon to things that always works.

    Have you ever watched "how clean is my house" it gives you tips to do stuff like that and they go into a really dirty house and clean it. xx

    You should burn candles and use air freshener. If you don't want to you should sell your dogs.
