How Do You Keep Your House from Smelling Like a Daycare?

[godiva83]

I also use an ionizer/ air purifier and LOVE it. I use it during nap, craft time ect and my house always smells fresh. I also use natural essence oils or simply boil oranges, cloves and cinnamon. I am not a huge fan of chemical sprays, plug ins or candles. Although, I love the smells my DS has asthma and they seem to really agrivate the wee mans breathing

I hate when the DCPs wear so much stanky cologne or perfume that you can smell it after they leave.
yuck!

LOL As soon as I started to scroll and saw your cat icon I knew you was going to say something like that! I sooo wish I could say the same!

I bought a Hyacinth for the play room yesterday hoping it would help because I can't stand the smell of the kids feet/socks. The shoes aren't real old I just bought them for them last summer or so but my gosh do they stink and so making the socks and feet stink. It's 100 times worse when they play in the wet morning grass! DCG wont take her socks off so I tried to febreeze them. bad I know.

I burn tarts when the kids leave and use as much clean scented cleaning products as I can. I dont want that orange or lemon scent either.

I once bought 5 of the big $300 ionizers when they were popular around 10 years ago. They worked great but a report came out (like all the others)suggesting how they might not be healthy. I use to put one blowing right at my daughters crib and 10 years later she is as normal as any other child and never gets sick.

When I hang out with friends in a smoke filled room I come home and take off my cloths in the garage where I also have an ionizer. Next morning the cloths have no smoke smell and actually smell like they were just washed. I have only had great experiences with ionizers.

I want 1! Whats the best to get? So many copies these days.

I have the glade sprays. I have it set so it shoots a burst of spray every 30 minutes. My house never smells like cat or daycare kids. Its funny, when it sprays it makes a noise and all the daycare kids stop and try to find the noise, happens every time. I have it up high so they don't see it, but its funny to see them stop in their tracks.

yuck!

In my area, it's the manure on the boots that you still smell after the parents leave!

I LOVE my air purifier!

Scentsy!

[LittleCupcakes]

SCENTSY! I have a warmer in my living room, kitchen, bathroom, my room, & my daughters room. I of course don't have them all on at once, but without them my house would stink!

We have a few people with asthma in the house, so we don't do anything scented at all. No lysol, no air freshener, no candles, etc...bleach because have to, however, bleach doesn't trigger anyone here like the candles & sprays do.

All diapers go in the garage as soon as they are changed. Poopy diapers are bagged before going in the trash (i reuse bread bags for this). There is NEVER a wet or soiled diaper in the house longer than it takes to changes the child. My pet peeve is poopy smells in the house. It was one of the things I hated about taking my oldest to a daycare center...they all smelled like poop to me, all the time.

The bleach smell, imo, only lasts a couple of hours, max....the urine/feces smell seems to permeate everything. ugh.

My house usually smells like dinner, cookies, or whatever the last hot meal happened to be.

They can be spendy but I LOVE, LOVE , LOVE my air purifiers! They really do work. We have several and my house smells fresh all the time. Cuts down on the dust a TON too!

The ones I use automatically kick into overdrive if there is an odor so that comes in handy during diaper changes.

I loved my Linen scented Glade spray... and I mopped every day with my Fabuloso... (the green stuff)... smells soooo good

Bought some of the Fabuloso at the store today. Smells divine! Can't wait to try it out.
