Want a super quick way to make your house smell fresh while vacuuming  ? This hack makes your home smell amazing for hours and it's so easy to do! All you need is a cotton ball, your favorite essential oils, and your vacuum. Next time you're revving up your vacuum, just try this hack and get a clean floor and aromatic air all at the same time.

Step 1: Gather supplies


  • Cotton balls
  • Essential oils - I purchased my kit at Amazon for under $10. Use whichever fragrances you love best.
  • Vacuum
  • I use this method on both my canister vacuum and Dyson.
Step 2: Add Oil


Sprinkle a few drops of essential oils on your cotton balls. About 5-10 drops per cotton ball works well. My Favorite blend is Lavender and Lemongrass

Step 3: Place In Vacuum


Just place the cotton ball inside your vacuum bag. I also add a few essential oil drops directly on the filter of my Miele, just to make the aroma a bit stronger.

On my Bagless Stick Dyson - I add a few drop on the cloth filter which is located on the top handle and toss a cotton ball in the dust canister.

Step 4: Start Cleaning


Now, just vacuum and enjoy the fresh aroma. This is an incredibly quick way to make your home smell great just prior to company arriving.

    I have always loved putting scent on the light bulb but I enjoy on the vacuum also. Easy perks to freshen up quickly 😊
