Investing in an essential oil diffuser is one of the best hacks to make your house smell good; if you're wondering how to keep your house smelling good with pets, this is the trick. These nifty little home fragrance diffusers are a hot property right now, dispersing natural oils into the air (lavender/jasmine/rosewood/whatever else you fancy) to make your room smell like a spa. They also have the power to leave you feeling more relaxed or energised (depending on which essential oil you choose). Needed.
"If you use blends of therapeutic grade essential oils on an electric diffuser, they will have a real effect, as opposed to a plug-in air freshener, which uses chemicals to provide a synthetic smell that is not going to really have the power to alter your state of mind in any way," Geraldine Howard of Aromatherapy Associates told us. "A ceramic, electronic oil diffuser cannot overheat and will diffuse fragrance for hours through your rooms. It's a fantastic way of safely and effectively scenting any environment to suit your mood without using a naked flame."
