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

Scentsy!! (shameful plug) I sell this, too. I'm grateful to have inaccesable spots in my home that little hands cant get to.. so the warmers and accesories are great.

There was ONE accident where my nephew actually, while being held by another family member, stuck his hand into the wax. He was totally fine and thought it was funny (better than crying, right?) so it's not BAD, if they do get to it, it's just not recommended. Plus, peeling wax off is not fun. ::

Scentsy warmers. I have one in each bathroom, in the kitchen, in the foyer and in the basement...oh, and one in my bedroom. I've been to a lot of parties! I used the one in the kitchen and the basement alot while I watched kids in my house. I found that the dcb that drank soy milk especially had a lingering scent... I know...TMI! ::

it's just like a parrafin wax- to get it off your hands or fingers.

It is parrafin wax, but my nephew had a 'fist' so it was in all the nooks and crevices. ::

This is my biggest fear, especially in the winter. That my house smells like stinky diapers!

I have a Scentsy warmer on the top of my desk hutch and plugged in behind my desk. I have to get on a chair to get to it, so the kids for sure can't get at it. I LOVE my Scentsy! I get at least one comment a day about how good my house smells. I usually have the fresh scents, like the Spa collections.

My cousin got one from us (he has a daycare at home) and has said that when she uses the bakery scents, especially sugar cookie, the DCparents come in asking if they baked that day. Horrible teaser, right? haha!

Fabreeze!!! love it. Smells fresh and is not over powering, you spray it in the air or on fabric. It is a corn based product and not toxic and babies can't get burnt from the wax.

I also have used an ionizer but not as much any more, just when it's particularly heavy in the atmosphere. Opening the windows is another good way to ionize the air, especially after a rain storm. My girlfriends dog got sprayed by a skunk on the front porch just as she opened the door to let it in. OMG it rubbed the stink all over their furniture and carpet trying to rub it off. She was able to wash the dog but not everything else. It was so overpowering it made your eys water just walking in her house. Someone told her to rent an ionizer and she did moving it room to room. Big difference in just a couple of hours. Couldn't smell the skunk by the next morning.
