### **Why It Works So Well**

Unlike store-bought air fresheners that mask odors with artificial fragrances, simmer pots **clean the air naturally** while giving off a gentle aroma that doesn’t overpower your senses.

You control the scent based on your mood or the season — cozy cinnamon and cloves in the fall, zesty lemon and rosemary in the spring. And best of all? People won’t walk in and think *”Ah, air freshener.”* They’ll just feel like your home is always fresh, clean, and peaceful — and they won’t even know why.

### **Other “Secret” Tricks for a Fresh-Smelling Home**

* **Vinegar Spray:** Mix equal parts white vinegar and water with a few drops of essential oil. Great for deodorizing fabrics, carpets, and even the air.
* **Baking Soda Bowls:** Leave a small open dish of baking soda in closets or under sinks to absorb odors.
* **Essential Oils on Cotton Balls:** Hide them in drawers, vents, or under trash can lids.
* **Clean Your Garbage Disposal:** Toss in citrus peels and a little baking soda weekly.
* **Open the Windows (Even Briefly):** A 5-minute airflow makes a huge difference.
