Our apartment still smells like carpet glue from the new carpet put in before our arrival. And every once in a while, I have unpacked an unidentifiable source of funk. And we have a toddler. Needless to say, our apartment does not smell like roses. The other day I called my mom and got this recipe sure to make your entire abode smell like Christmas:
Slice up one medium apple and one medium orange. Put them in a saucepan, peels and all.
Add about a tablespoon of whole cloves, two cinnamon sticks, and a sprinkle of allspice. (I don't have any allspice, so I used nutmeg)
Cover with water and bring to a low simmer. Relax and enjoy the smell!
This concoction will last about 4-5 days or so, just keep adding water as it gets low. And don't forget to turn the burner off at night or when you leave the house!

I'm definitely going to try this. It sounds wonderful! Thanks for the tip. :)
I remember my mom doing the same thing. That smell makes me think of Christmas and home to this day.
