A fresh-smelling home isn’t about expensive candles, chemical sprays, or plug-ins. Often, the best scents come from a clean, well-aired home and a few intentional habits done consistently.
At Geoffrey, we believe your home should feel inviting the moment you walk through the door. So today, we’re sharing a simple, low-cost routine inspired by a helpful post created by @tanyahomeinspo — focused on keeping your home smelling fresh without the need for pricey products.
With just a few daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal rituals, you can maintain a clean, uplifting scent in your home year-round.
🌿 Every Day Routine
Small daily habits prevent odors from building up.
Open windows for at least 10 minutes to let stale air escape
Empty household bins & recycling
Wipe down the kitchen sink and countertops
Simmer citrus peels or herbs on the stovetop for a natural scent boost
Geoffrey Tip: Try simmering lemon peels + rosemary + a splash of vanilla for a clean, hotel-like aroma.
🧺 Every Week
Weekly refreshers keep your home consistently inviting.
Wash towels and tea towels
Clean fridge shelves (old food = hidden smells!)
Refresh your entryway with a plant or fresh flowers
Vacuum rugs & doormats, which trap odors
Geoffrey Tip: Entryways are your home's first impression — a fresh scent here sets the tone.
🧽 Every Month
A deeper refresh helps tackle odor sources you might overlook.
Clean sink & shower drains
Wash curtains or cushion covers
Deodorize bins with baking soda
Refresh mattresses with bicarbonate of soda + vacuum
Geoffrey Tip: Add a few drops of essential oil to your mattress bicarbonate before vacuuming for a light, lasting fragrance.
🧼 Every Season
Seasonal deep-cleans revive your space and reset your home environment.
Steam clean carpets or rugs
Deep clean pantry & cupboards
Air out duvets & pillows
Wash pet bedding
Geoffrey Tip: Seasonal cleaning is also the perfect time to purge expired pantry items, donate unused linens, and reset your home for the new season.
