Air Freshner

[Joe4584]

I received this message from a recent guest. I was curious what product do you use?

"Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage. My only suggestion is yo use Damp Rid rather than an air freshner. My husband has asthma, and I have perfume allergies that were set off my the fragrance in the air freshner."

Hi @Joe4584 .... you have a lot of great responses so will keep this brief.

I agree with not using any synthetic fragrances. We always take out the plug-in diffusers and 'reed' smelly things we find in homes we stay in. Plus, I do not want to smell 'Himalayan jasmine' while I am staying at an Airbnb in Canada. Or 'English rose & cedarwood' while I'm staying at an Airbnb in the Med. 

For my own STR property in Australia I have timber bedside tables, a timber dining table, a timber dining cabinet and timber office table. Between guests I use a lemon & eucalyptus oil infused wood polish on the timber items. Eucalyptus being native to Australia. It leaves a beautiful light 'real' lemon woody smell that is delightful. 

Hope that helps 🙂
