Since we brought Boomer home, we got rid of candles, air freshners, scented oils and colognes. We also got rid of cleaning agents like lysol (I kept one for the bathroom), bleach, windex, even antibacterial dishwashing soap. So I'm left with using a vinegar solution for cleaning and disinfecting.
The problem is the smell isn't very pleasant even with a bit of regular dishwashing soap. It goes a way after a while but since I clean everyday, the scent lingers. I've tried cinnamon sticks, vacuuming regularly, keeping the room airy, large potted plants, air filter... they didn't help much.
What do you use to bring in a little fragrance into your home? Something safe and preferably low maintenance? I've heard of bird-safe candles but I'm still worried about the smoke it will produce. Also, while we are on the subject of scents I'd like to know if the strong odor of vinegar is bad for birds? I clean our birds cages with the vinegar solution.
Thanks in advance!!! :heart:
