How do you keep your home smelling good?

Q. I am always going into homes where everything smells so fresh and even sweet, what do you use to keep your home and linen smelling so good and long lasting?

A. Dryer sheets, lysol, and carpet powder are your best friends. Potpourri and candles do good to mask the smell, but that's not what you want. It's artificial. It's nice for a scent, but it's not a clean smell, really.

After cleaning, sprinkle some scented carpet powder on the floor and let it set for a couple of minutes, then vacuum it up. The scent remaining is very faint and fresh. Put a dryer sheet between your linen to keep them fresh smelling. You can also stick a bar of soap or dryer sheet in your closets to keep them fresh smelling. You can even rub a dryer sheet over your furniture (test it first) to give a nice scent AND reduce any static cling. Dryer sheets also clean and de-static-ify (LOL) tv and computer screens. AAAANNNDDD you can put a dryer sheet wedged or taped into an air conditioning vent in every room to spread the fresh scent around. No one will even know it's there.

What is the best vaccum or comercial vac for big home?
Q. I have a 3500sqft. home. We need a new vaccum the one we have is not doing it. We have a Hoover windtunnel. It does not perform well even when maintained. I have had a dyson in past and don't like the suction on that either. I would love a commercial vac with the best suction. Please help I have shaft carpet, hardwood, tile and stairs.

Best furniture for a studio apartment with no closets?
Q. We're moving from a house with walk-in closets to a studio (one room) apartment while our home is finished. My hubby & I both have a TON of clothes. Any good ideas on make-shift closets?
Thanks for the info. Do you know how much they cost and are they durable? We will prob be here for about 6 months.

A. If you have a moving company like Eastern van lines, American----------or, even a U-haul company near by, they have boxes that have a side that opens with a metal bar that goes across the top of it. I can't explain them, but, they're called, wardrobe moving boxes. Since this is temporary for you, why buy furniture? You can fit quite alot of clothes in one of them. Just set it against a wall in your apartment. I had them for a state to state move and now even use them in an attic for seasonal clothes storage.
