I really like that idea! I can't use air fresheners because of the chemicals in them. On a similar note, I've got seed to grow lavender this summer and if it works out I want to make sachets.

Susan, as soon as I saw that idea I had to post it (especially) for you. I'm thinking about putting some peppermint teabags in the boys' bathroom.

What a great idea! I have some Christmas Cookie Sleigh Ride tea that smells divine but has almost no flavor, brewed. I think I'll stick them in my dresser drawers. I don't like that strange wood smell that gets in the clothes when they've been in the drawer for a while.

there are times, in small spaces (furnished with porcelain appliances), that a truly instant and compelling deodorizer is mandatory - not to be civilized but rather to minimize paint peeling from walls - i've found that nothing works faster or better than an old-fashioned wooden match - strike it, allow the flame to burn the wood fairly well and allow the smoke to rise, put the flame out and swing the door several times to mix the match fumes with the OTHER fumes - works well -
the warnings you hear about the dangers of certain gasses causing an explosive reaction to an open flame are greatly exaggerated -

My grandmother always kept a box of wooden matches and a small ashtray on the back of the toilet, just for that reason.

Amazing how that works, aint it? I guess that would be a no-no on an airplane, though.  Right where it's needed most! |

I guess that would be a no-no on an airplane, though. yeah - it'd be hard to saunter innocently out of the lavatory with the smoke alarms screeching - pilot would probably say "you need to be groped" - |

Joan, for some people that would be incentive.

Granny Pearl used to take a twist of paper and light it then walk thru the house waving it around to get rid of odors. I've done that, but put the paper in a sauce pan for safety sake. You can also light a plain, unscented candle and it will help clear the air of those "fumes".
