    Hi,

    Any good incense sticks that have a pleasant smell and also the fragrance must linger for a long time?
    Any other options for the same?

    To have the home smelling good, you must obviously eliminate the big rascals, or at least make them cleaner.

    10 Foods That Cause Gas

    For indian vegetarian homes , it is the beans, the cabbages, the onion varietals, in all their different forms. They all go through, and then come out in the three phases of matter. The least dense of the three cause the most problem for a home which wants to smell good.

    First of all clean home well. There are so many floor cleaning products which smell good. It is difficult find incense sticks that linger fragrance for a long time. This may work for Pooja rooms as it is mostly closed. I use camphor in shelves as it was very helpful in my book shelves. Also like the Intense sticks by 'Cycle Brand'. But I use only one at a time. It is better to use natural products like sambrani sticks /agarbathis. In addition to this, there are lot of artificial room refreshers like freeze. Try and see which one you like most.

    When cooking light a Candle which would absorb all odors.
    Put two caps of of vanilla essence and bake in oven at 300 deg for 1 hr.
    I use sandal incense sticks two-three times a week.
    Air refreshners like air-wick Renuzit comes in many varieties.
    You can try some potpourri too.

    Fresh Air will do wonders. Keep windows and doors open whenever it is possible.

    Room sprays keep your place fresh but many contain harmful chemicals in turn we inhale them. Some of the natural items (Lemons, Oranges, Cloves, Coffee beans, baking soda, mint, cilantro, rosemary, basil, sandal, cinnamon, potpourri, in house plants, fresh flower bouquets, herbs bouquet) are not only cheap but also absorb odor and leave our house smelling good. Google and find few easy recipes.

    Few that I follow... 1. I keep windows and door open almost all the time I am awake 2. Crushed orange peels. 3. Crushed mint / cilantro 4. bake few coffee beans (strong it is) 5. I grow bamboo n aloe.

    Dissolve few teaspoons of vinegar in boiling water, simmer for sometime and let it sit overnight, picks up cooking odor. Light scented candles. Proper air circulation.Clear away trashes and do your laundry regularly. Leaves your home smelling naturally pleasant
