Getting rid of lingering smells in your kitchen can be a big job when you don’t have a proper scenting solution to keep out unwanted odors. Whether you need to eliminate the smell of cooking, garbage waiting to go out, or fridge odors, check out our tips for naturally getting rid of unwanted odors when you’re in a pinch. Boil citrus peels Lemon and orange peels are for more than just zesting a gourmet dish. Simply add lemon or orange peels to a simmering pot of water and wait for delicious smells to overwhelm your space.  Drop lemon peels into your garbage disposal Lemons are a pretty versatile scenting hack and can also freshen up other hard-to-clean areas in your home. If the source of the unpleasant odor in your kitchen seems to be coming from the sink, toss a few lemon peels down the garbage disposal and run hot water. Once you run the disposal, you’ll be greeted with a light and airy citrus aroma. Baking soda Placing an open container of baking soda in your fridge is a quick way to neutralize stubborn food odors. Baking soda absorbs smells rather than masking them, and you can increase the odor neutralization powers of this substance by adding white vinegar. Home scenting solutions The above tips are great when you need a quick and simple hack to cover up odors in your home or kitchen, but they aren’t suitable if you need a long-term solution for scenting your space. Our home diffusers use heatless and waterless cold-air diffusion technology to produce a dry fragrance nano-mist that emanates beautifully! These low-maintenance smart scenting devices can be used to schedule scent distributions, customize fragrance intensity, and so much more.  No matter the size of your home, Aroma360 diffusers create a consistent and pure enduring scent without leaving behind any residue—and there are plenty of scents to choose from. Shop our line of home diffusers today and find one tailored to your home’s square footage!

Scents for Hotels Most customers are likely to remember how they feel during their stay and what they recall about their visit long after their departure. These are the two most defining parts of a hotel experience, incorporating scent can enhance their experience times 10 from the time they walk into your lobby, or even before they see the décor or artwork, and it stays with them long after they leave. Using scent marketing in your hotels has many other benefits such as improving brand image, leaving a memorable impression, and building a high perception value. It is also an innovative way to set your brand apart from other competitors in the industry, creating a luxurious experience. Sandalwood, cedar, leather, citrus lemon flower, neroli, vanilla, and white tea are all wonderful scents in hotels. You can incorporate unique scents into your hotel ambiance with notes such as lavender, lemongrass, white tea, jasmine, lily, and others. We recommend scenting with one of our top-selling fragrance Dream On, inspired by Westin Hotels. Scents for Gyms Scent marketing is a great tool that substantially assists fitness clubs in improving their customer experience. Foul odors can distract from the atmosphere that fitness clubs strive to achieve. Pleasant air allows customizing the appearance and feel of the place that nothing else can. Today's gyms are more than simply a place to get fit, strong, and healthy but have become a lifestyle and a home away from home for many members, nurturing confidence, happiness, and wellness. Hence, scented gyms can play a vital role in encouraging people toward a better and healthier lifestyle. For this reason, herbs and citruses influence the mind, which can boost productivity and stimulate a person's energy to have a successful workout. Ideally, gyms and fitness facilities offer yoga lessons and aromatherapy for releasing stress and inducing relaxation. Lavender, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, sandalwood, sage, juniper, and rosemary are very beneficial in this context. We recommend scenting with our Across The Universe fragrance, inspired by The Equinox Hotel. Scents for Spas Spas are ideal for creating a relaxing ambiance through aroma dispersal. Introducing the appropriate aroma to elicit sentiments of peace and tranquility in customers from the moment they walk through your doors is highly encouraged. Since fragrance plays a significant part in memory formation, providing the correct ambiance will help clients recall their spa experience with better clarity and increase their likelihood of returning for further services. The most popular scents to be used in spas are lavender, citrus, rosemary, bergamot, lemon, orange, and eucalyptus. Those offering aromatherapy widely use essential oils for their soothing characteristics for a pleasant relaxation and stress management experience. We recommend scenting with our recently added fragrance The Bliss, inspired by Bliss Spas.

We have cultivated a list of how to prevent any candle accidents that may lead to spilled wax on your furniture or surfaces. Accidents are very common, but being mindful of how they happen can save a lot time and headaches.  Keep a one-foot radius clear space around and above candles. Put a candle in the middle of the table - Avoid putting on the edge, where it could fall over. Be careful when reaching across the table, as to not catch your shirt on fire. Make sure the table is sturdy and won’t collapse or tip over if leaned on. Don’t walk with a lit candle - Never carry a burning candle from one room to another. Do not light the candle until you have it placed where you want. Do not place candles near fire hazards - like curtains, drapes, beddings, carpets, paper products, and other flammable decorations. Avoid placing candles too close to walls and ceilings - to prevent discoloration of your walls, soot build-up, and a potential fire. Never light a candle on a bookshelf. Place candles away from drafts, vents, fans, and water - to prevent rapid or uneven burning and excessive dripping. Never leave a candle unattended.  Trim your wick to ¼ inch - before lighting for the first time for a more even burn. By keeping the wick trimmed, you help to control how much wax melts, limit soot, and significantly prolong the life of the candle.  Your first burn is the most important - When you first light a brand new candle, it is best to follow proper burning instructions as to optimize the quality and evenness of the burn and lengthen the total burn time (or how long your candle will last). You can find the total burn time under each Hotel Collection candle and more information on our F.A.Q page. Never burn a candle for more than 4 hours - If you burn a candle for too long, carbon can collect on the wick, leading it to “mushroom” and making it unstable. This can lead to a dangerously large flame, flickering, lots of smoke and soot, and potentially start a fire. Candles take 2 hours to fully cool off - Let your candle wax harden completely before relighting or moving it. Do not throw away - liquid wax melts before they’ve cooled completely. If you have children or pets - only burn candles or wax melts on surfaces that are safely out of reach, such as on a high shelf or mantel. Don’t light candles in highly active rooms - such as workout spaces, dance studios, or play areas. Use a heat resistance surface - To make it safer place a candle on top of a coaster, ceramic or glass plate, or anything else that can resist or disperse heat. Only burn candles in rooms with great ventilation - If a room has poor ventilation, open a window or door. Candles burn carbon monoxide, which in poorly ventilated spaces can lead to major health problems such as aggravating asthma, allergy-like symptoms, and irritation of the respiratory system.  Don’t burn your candle all the way down - For safety, stop using a candle once there is only a ½ inch remains in the container. Using candles during a power outage? - Never use a candle during a power outage to look for things in a closet or when fueling equipment – such as a grill, car, generator, lantern, or kerosene heater. An open flame is combustible around certain other gasses, fuels, and household products. Don’t use candles around extremely flammable beauty, cooking, and cleaning products. Some common flammable household products include -  Aerosol products like household cleaning sprays, hair mousse, hair spray, and antiperspirants sprays . Flour and cooking oils are flammable, so do not cook or bake near a lit candle. Paraffin-based skin creams. Always wash clothing exposed to such skin creams at high temperatures. If possible, change your outfit after applying to prevent any risk. Rubbing alcohol, shoe polish, nail polish remover, and hand sanitizer. Laundry products including mothballs, pods, stain removers. and fabric softeners Auto and pool cleaning products. We hope you have find these tips useful to prevent any damages and unwanted spills in your home. Happy Scenting! 

As a pet owner we know how important is it to provide scenting that is not only safe for you and your family but also for your pet(s). Diffusing can not only freshen up a space, but add tiny healing molecules of essential oils into the air for both you and your pet(s) to breathe in. No matter what type of pet you have, Aroma360 provides animal-safe scenting solutions for every home.  When in doubt, diffusers are the safest of all scent diffuser options to use around more delicate animals, as well as the pure quality of fragrance oils. Aroma360 Diffusers break up scent molecules into a heatless, waterless nano-mist know as Cold-Air Diffusion that disperses evenly throughout the HVAC system. For safety purposes, we always recommend you keep diffusers and other scenting products far out of your pet’s reach. Please confirm the safety of ingredients with your vet before introducing fragrance products around sensitive pets. Keep in mind that even minuscule amounts of essential oil can be toxic for certain pets, if not fatal, if ingested or their skin or fur comes in direct contact with it. Exposure can occur from licking and oral ingestion, absorption by skin contact, or inhalation from oil diffusers Dogs These sturdy companions can handle diffused fragrances in all forms. To ensure your diffuser or candles do not get knocked over, keep scenting products far away from the edges of countertops and tables.  Cats Because cats have sensitive skin and a keener sense of smell than humans, they are at an increased risk of reaction from exposure to certain ingredients. The most toxic ingredients for cats are cinnamon, citrus, pennyroyal, peppermint, pine, sweet birch, tea tree, wintergreen, and ylang ylang. Both ingestion and skin exposure can be toxic, so keep essential oils out of reach from curious cats. To ensure your diffuser or candles do not get knocked over by your cat, keep scenting products far away from the edges of countertops and tables.  Birds A heatless, waterless scent diffuser is one of the best ways to introduce essential oil blends into an avian household or environment. Use extreme caution with feathered friends! Prior to the use of any essential oil based product in a bird, a thorough veterinary examination, by an avian veterinarian, is highly recommended. For the first 10 minutes of diffusion, keep an eye on your bird(s) and their behavior, especially if your bird is new to a particular blend or essential oils in general. You can increase the concentration and frequency gradually, to ensure the safety of your pet.  Their gentle lungs cannot handle the toxins from gasses like carbon monoxide, smoke from tobacco products, fumes from new carpets and furniture, air fresheners, scented candles, paints, glues, household cleaning products, mothballs, hair spray, and nail polish. Lit candles should also always be kept in a separate room. If placed in the same room, be sure to maintain proper air flow in your home including the use of fans and keeping windows open.  Small Mammals (Rabbits, Chinchillas, Ferrets, & Rodents) Smaller pets often have more delicate respiratory systems than dogs and humans. Keep a distance of at least six feet from pet enclosures. If your animals free-roam in your home, be sure to keep open-flame scenting products out of reach or do not use them while handling your pet. Begin a gradual routine with your scenting accessories the safety of your pet.  Reptiles, Snakes, & Amphibians  These animals, as well as birds, have the most delicate respiratory systems out of all pets. If possible, always scent in another room or maintain good airflow. You can gradually introduce scent diffusion while ensuring their safety.  Begin a gradual routine with your scenting accessories the safety of your pet.  Fish & Aquatic Tank Pets Scenting accessories should not directly impact water quality in fish tanks and other tank pets. However, do not put diffusers or candles directly near open-top tanks. Keep a distance of at least six feet.  Farm Animals (Sheep, Horses, Cows, Pigs, & Goats) Similar to dogs, barn animals should be good to go when it comes to scenting! They are relatively sturdy animals and their lung capacity is most similar to ours and dogs.  Always consult your veterinarian to see if scenting products are right for your pet.
