          Aerosol sprays and plug-in fresheners contain unhealthy flammable, nerve-damaging ingredients. Try these inexpensive natural alternatives:

Baking soda is a sponge for odors; add the contents of a box to a pretty bowl and set it on a shelf to collect unpleasant smells.

Cedar blocks mask odors by providing a gentle scent.

Simmer cinnamon sticks, orange peel, and cloves for a stovetop potpourri.

Grow lots of houseplants; they remove carbon dioxides and naturally clean the air.

A vase of garden flowers can fill a room with a lovely natural scent.

Open your windows and ventilate the natural way.

Note: According to a study published in New Scientist, frequent use of aerosol sprays and air fresheners in family homes caused 25% more headaches and 19% more cases of depression in adults, and 30% more ear infections in infants.
