10 Best Air Fresheners for a Home That Always Smells Clean
Now, this is our kind of life hack.

It's always nice to come home to a clean-smelling house. Spritzing or stashing one of these air fresheners in strategic areas around your space (in combination with your regular home-cleaning routine) can help minimize musty, less-than-fresh smells and make the space feel so much more inviting.
The Best Air Fresheners
What to Consider
Even if it seems obvious, the most important thing to consider before you buy an air freshener is whether or not you're sensitive to fragrance. If you suffer from headaches or migraines that can be triggered by scent, an air freshener spray — or other home-fragrance products like scented candles and essential oil diffusers — may not be the best thing to bring into your home. We'd recommend investing in a HEPA air purifier instead, to filter out potentially irritating pollutants from your space.
Also, certain formats of air fresheners offer stronger and longer-lasting scents than others. Some air fresheners are devices that can run on a schedule, scenting your home intermittently until the cartridge runs dry, while others are simple spray bottles that add a burst of scent on demand. Reed diffusers are another type of air freshener that provide a long-lasting fragrance that gradually fades. Ultimately, it does come down to personal preference: The best air freshener for you is one that will keep your senses (and sinuses!) happy.
From plug-in sprays to diffusers to pillow spritzes, these are some of the most reviewer-beloved air fresheners on the internet. No matter which format you prefer, you can find it here.
