WicksNOLA Candle Co.

I melt at the scent of an immaculate kept home. At closing I gift my clients with WicksNOLA candles so that when they move into their new home they can experience the joy of luxury. I encourage you all to support this local small black business. Tiffany, the owner of WicksNOLA has been there for me since day one and continue to support me even at the last minute with gift ideas. We are currently designing a custom scent for my clients, so stay tuned! @wicksnola504

Have you ever walked into someone else’s home and were overwhelmed by how incredible it smelled? Or maybe you couldn’t wait to leave because there was a not-so-great scent as soon as you entered? Often, we become so accustomed to the way our own home smells that we don’t notice if the scent is bad or good. It can be frustrating to wonder what others think about the scent of your home. If you feel like your house doesn’t always smell fresh, follow these steps to make sure that it smells amazing all the time. 

ELIMINATE BAD SMELLS

• Empty garbage cans regularly

• Clean out your refrigerator once a week

• Sprinkle baking soda or carpet deodorizer before vacuuming

• Open the windows when the weather is nice

• Invest in an air purifier

• If you have pets, brush and bathe them often

• Get rid of old musty towels

• Use a daily bathroom cleaner spray to prevent mildew smells

• Pour a little drain cleaner in your sinks on a weekly basis to get rid of any unwanted scents

ADD NEW SCENTS

• Add a few drops of essential oils on your air filters 

• Use linen spray daily

• Burn candles

• Use a wax melter

• Arm up homemade potpourri in your crockpot 

• Place car vent clips in your air conditioner vents
