Your Home Should Smell Like Vacation: 3 Scent Hacks That Wow Guests
There’s something about stepping into a space that smells good. Not just “clean,” but inviting. Relaxing. Like a boutique hotel in Wynwood or a beachfront suite in South Beach.
At The Housekeeper & Co. LLC, we believe your home, especially in a place like Miami, should smell like a getaway. Whether you're a local, a busy parent, or an Airbnb host, here are 3 easy scent hacks to keep your space feeling fresh, luxurious, and totally unforgettable.
1. Mist the Room, Not Just the Air
Forget overpowering sprays or plug-ins. A light, fabric-safe mist can transform your space without being too heavy or artificial.
Try: Pura Smart Diffuser or Linen & Room Sprays by Capri Blue or Grove Co.
Lightly spray:
Throw pillows and couch cushions
Curtains and bedding
Towels before folding
Guestroom linens before check-in
💡 Pro tip: Pick scents like coconut, bergamot, sea salt, or citrus for that “on vacation” vibe.
2. Use a Reed Diffuser or Essential Oil Setup
If you don’t want to plug anything in or burn candles, try a reed diffuser or a cold air essential oil diffuser for a constant but subtle fragrance.
Our favorite for Miami homes? The Vitruvi Cold Air Diffuser paired with Coconut + Lime Essential Oil Blend.
Place one:
Near the front door to create a scent signature
In the bathroom or guest suite
Next to the laundry area (game-changer)
3. Clean With Scent in Mind
The right cleaning products do more than just disinfect—they leave behind a fresh, long-lasting scent that sets the tone.
We love Frosch Multi-Surface Cleaner or the Aunt Fannie's Cleaning Vinegar Wipes for citrusy, non-toxic freshness.
Always:
Use them on kitchen counters and bathroom sinks
Wipe down nightstands and TV consoles
Give the trash can a quick once-over while you’re at it
Make Your Home Feel Like a Staycation
Guests remember how your place smelled. Whether you're hosting visitors or winding down after a long day, these easy scent upgrades go a long way.
